  1. he also said that they're targeting milwood. offman knows nothing about baseball, and he's right there. Ofman first reported the Pierre story a month ago saying that it would likely include Pinto. So, um, he may know a little something. The anti-Score sentiment here is pathetic. I don't live in Chicago or listen to any of the radio stations there, but I think that makes the Score 1 for 400,000 in the rumor dept.
  2. And paid high. haha, i know. i'm just trying to make this less painfull. i hope we get jack wilson. then this offseason will really rock. Yeah, I would say go all out and make an all-defense team with Wilson and Jacque Jones, but Pierre can't even field, so that's no fun.
  3. Of course Wilson would be on Hendry's radar. plz stop screwing around Hendry
  4. I will refrain from making comment$. I'm all for making fun of O$U, but I think any college student and roomate's laptops plus their DVD collection would run at least $1400, and a PS2($200) + 11 games at $50 each = $750. However, a $500 watch plus 3 grand in cash?
  5. i've heard other people say that, and i don't understand why. won't the slow grass keep his slap hits from getting through? Wouldn't they die in limbo between fielders like infield hits and swinging bunts. I would think that most of the scratch hits he gets would get slowed up and fielded, which means he's likely out.
  6. When did anyone say that Pierre will never return to his career numbers? I've heard several people say 'what if?', but not with the authority that people talk about Lee's career year.
  7. It looks to me like Bradley's been good to outstanding producing at CF for the last 3 years.
  8. Curious to knwo what his Road/Home splits are. Since coming to Florida his AVG has been 20 or more points worse away from Pro Player, and his OBP and SLG have followed. Do you have his stats at Wrigley? .282/.354/.366/.721 76 PA's

  10. It's not about keeping the prospects, it's about getting appropriate value. If you're willing to give up those two, then do it for Wilkerson or Bradley, who are both superior to Pierre. That way we add a player that can get on base AND hit more than singles, so it improves the offense more.
  11. Woohoo, MSU takes down #6 BC in Madison Square Garden. It's so great to have Trannon back.
  12. What players are you speaking of, on the trade block, that'll bite at an offer of Nolasco/Pinto? Wilkerson and Bradley. Walker career leadoff: .291/.349/.443/.792 Pierre career leadoff: 304/.354/.375/.729 Walker's better, it's pretty clear. How many AB's does Walker have in the leadoff spot, and were they all done in Boston? I only ask, because Pierre has been putting up those numbers for awhile now, not to mention he had an off year in 05. Walker has 1271 PA's at the leadoff spot. I don't know the team breakdown, but he had several hundred as a Cub in '04.
  13. But you never know with the LA system. I'd do Zito for Bradley, Billingsley and LaRoche so fast your head would spin. Heck, I'd do Zito for Bradley, Billingsley/LaRoche. IIRC, the rumor was Bradley, Joel Guzman, and Edwin Jackson. Could've been garbage from the getgo though.
  14. Ideally we'd be able to put that in every spot, but considering that we aren't low on players that can slug(Lee, ARam, Barrett), I'll take more slugging from the guy on our team that will get the most PA's.
  15. What players are you speaking of, on the trade block, that'll bite at an offer of Nolasco/Pinto? Wilkerson and Bradley. Walker career leadoff: .291/.349/.443/.792 Pierre career leadoff: 304/.354/.375/.729 Walker's better, it's pretty clear.
  16. If Pierre returns to a .360 OBP next year and steals at a 75 percent success rate -- is that acceptable? I'm not saying he will ... just wondering what you'd think about those numbers. No, because there's several better options still out there that very likely cost significantly less than what it will apparently cost to get Pierre. But the thing is, we don't know that. What we do know (or at least what has been widely reported) is that Hendry has had discussions with teams for Bradley, Wilkerson and Lugo. If we're going to believe Nolasco and Pinto were offered for Pierre, then we have to assume that Patterson plus might be able to get you Bradley or Wilkerson.
  17. TODD WALKER HAS MORE AT BATS AT THE LEADOFF SPOT IN HIS CAREER THAN ANY OTHER SPOT. HE IS NOT UNFAMILIAR WITH THAT ROLE. Sorry for the caps, but this has popped up several times, and it's completely false.

  19. They're both top 10 in the system coming off of good to great years in AA at age 22. Pinto has more heat than Nolasco, but Nolasco has better control. Both have pretty good, but not dynamite stuff.
  20. There was a Bradley plus two top prospects for Zito, but I don't think it has much behind it.
  21. I say have a thread for all the pre-Christmas or pre-Dec. 30 bowls, then go from there.
