Good move for the Pirates. It's a shame that their offense is an abomination outside of Bay and now Casey, they have some good young pitching. -
Rule 5 Draft
Transmogrified Tiger replied to fromthestretch's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
They don't have to be on the 25 man if they're taken in the Minor League phase. -
Adam Kennedy could work at 2B too. They've been trying to get rid of him forever, and they're one of the teams that could be interested in Patterson.
-
Wouldn't mind that at all, but White doesn't have a huge platoon split. I'd almost rather have White play everyday when he can, and platoon Floyd/Murton.
-
Healthier? Yeah. Better numbers? That's questionable at best.
-
Except he didn't make those points elsewhere. I asked him to, and he declined like he did in this thread.

Rule 5 Draft
Transmogrified Tiger replied to fromthestretch's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
Yikes, I was starting to think Jan was a decent pickup, high K's with a lot of walks, then I found out he's 26 and hasn't reached AA. Garcia was bad repeating Low A at age 23. Roster fodder. How did I just now realize how good a season Mateo had in Daytona? Is his stuff nonexistent? -
I'm okay with that. Given that there's someone capable in RF, and Murton isn't being benched instead of Mabry. EDIT: White-Pierre-Bradley with Murton coming off the bench wouldn't be terrible, and safeguards against either of the corners getting hurt.

Has Schuerholz lost his mind?

Two things. 1. You missed it. Beane and JP were criticized for those signings. 2. This is a Cubs board. Doesn't it make sense that more people will criticize Hendry's moves than an American League general manager's moves? Maybe I did miss it like I said but I looked. It makes sense to criticize Hendry only he deserves it. It also makes sense under your theory to assume that he would applauded more than AL or other NL GMs on this board. Why does it have to be only criticism? When people think Hendry makes a good move he gets praised a lot. Threads on the Howry/Pierre/Eyre moves don't make it to the lengths that they are if no one thinks Hendry did the right thing. Heck, there's a huge thread of praise over Macias being DFA'd, the Nomar trade thread was huge, etc.

Yes, you missed it.
-
White would be a very good pickup.

Todd Walker......for the record
Transmogrified Tiger replied to rawaction's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
How many players have a .100+ IsoD? That's almost like saying that .400 is the standard of good OBP. -
Please, show me the evidence that Pierre is better than Wilkerson. Not taking the bait. I've made my statement. I'll quote numbers and then you'll tell me they don't mean anything and then you'll quote numbers and tell me why they prove Wilkerson is better. Blah blah blah blah. We went through this yesterday regarding Soriano and Walker when you misrepresented some numbers about their difference in OBP. Then we talked about it regarding Wilkerson and Pierre when you initially said Pierre was superior only in stolen bases and then admitted he had better numbers in other categories. It comes down to opinion, and my is as valuable as yours. And judging from your user name, maybe you don't have such a good history of evaluating players. This is just great. You make the claim that Pierre is better than Wilkerson and you won't back it up. Let's avoid all discussion because we don't have the same opinion. Trying to slight my username is also great.
-
Kotchman, McPherson, Wood. You probably won't get any of them for Patterson, but those are the names you're probably thinking of.

Well said. Nitpick- Only Pinto is LHP, Nolasco and Mitre are RHP.
-
SoCal contact who told me about the Angels/Cubs rumour last week also said Arizona may be in the mix for Patterson. He posed three scenarios: (1) Patterson for Luis Gonzalez and cash; (2) 3-way deal with Patterson going to AZ, Glaus going to LA and Bradley coming to the Cubs along with prospect movement and cash. (3) 4-way deal with Vazquez going to the Red Sox, Manny going to the Mets, Floyd going to the Cubs, and Corey and prospects going to AZ. Crazy stuff! I'd take all of those. 2,3,1 in order of preference.
-
Is this the next move? I thought Benson went to the Royals? Never was official. Royals got Redman instead.
-
Cashman: We'll give you Cano and Wang for [insert good player here] GM: ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
-
Miles and Bigbie have been terrible. Maybe they'll get smacked with the magic BABIP stick that Nunez got last year.
-
mlbcontracts.blogspot.com I don't know if he's updated for this past season or not, but all those figures are accurate. I wish I could get my hands on a Red and Green book. Whatever happened to that database that you (I think) put together here on NSBB. That was a really cool thing. Is it still alive and well or what? It's still up there, but it hasn't been updated or added to in a while. Lack of time and laziness are the main culprits. I'm hoping to put in a dent in it over Winter Break.
-
They're lucky no one else tried to swoop in behind their back and snatch him up. He had a very good year last year, be interesting to see if he can keep it going in 06. Everyone was going to wait until after today anyways to make sure they didn't have to give up a draft pick.

Macias DFA
Transmogrified Tiger replied to Productive Outs's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
We have 10 days to trade him, otherwise he will be released. HE"S FINALLY GONE THANK YOU SWEET GOD THANK YOU. Stop the presses. Does anyone know his service time? He can accept a minor league assignment if it's less than 5 years, can't he? 6 yrs: http://mlb.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/stats/player_locator_results.jsp?playerLocator=macias This means Macias can accept assignment, he was arbitration eligible. -
Ways the Cubs can benefit from this: Getting Vidro Going after GMJ to backup OF(or start over Pierre :P) I can't wait to see Soriano's line playing half his games in RFK.
