Marlins want Pie

Or maybe they just think they are the same morans that gave Neifi Perez $5 million. Just say no to Pierre. I'd rather have Patterson. If Bradley can be had for nothing, I don't know why Hendry is still thinking about Pierre. Exactly. Bradley is a better (leadoff) hitter than Pierre, he'll be cheaper money-wise and player-wise, we'll have him under contract longer, he plays better defense, he's younger, and he's not coming off of a terrible year. -
pierre's doesn't look that good imo Pierre would never wear his hat straight. And I don't want Pierre. Gee guys... thanx for the "nice photoshopping" and "boy, they do look good" comments.... :roll: It was a joke about Pierre, not about your work.

woohoo, Mizzou is a good win! Seriously though, if Mizzou is a good win, then there's a lot of good wins to be had. They're a fringe bowl team right now, and while the game was at Mizzou, it was a blowout.

At 3 years, it's pretty much inexcusable not to vehemently pursue Giles.

Those numbers represent 68 at bats over 3 months. That's basically an at-bat per game. Choi was the better option to play against right handers. -
If we are going to go for the lower end of production, I'd rather get someone with age on their side.

How the heck did this turn out to be a commentary on his career? All I pointed out was that in this case, Dusty was right to play the veteran. I'm not campaigning for him to go into the Hall for crying out loud. The Karros we saw was all of the things you point out above, but more importantly, he was a better option than Choi. Karros v. RHP in '03 .246/.286/.397/.683 in 237 PA's -

What he said. Name the last time Hendry traded the best prospect in the organization and got fleeced. (no, the Dontrelle trade does not qualify) Cruz for Pratt? -
Tavarez. He's like the Phantom of the Opera all over his face.
-
I should have prefaced my "last I heard" by saying I don't hear much. This is from June when the injury first happened. ESPN Story I don't have a link, but there was a recent report that said that Dotel would be ready for ST.
-
Should've been Fontenot, but I don't see it now with Neifi around.
-
Bradley will probably get around 4 million next year.
-
How old is Pierre? I thought they have done many studies on "speedster single hitters" and how their production falls after a certain age. Pierre turned 28 in August, and is a free agent after this season.
-
I agree. I definitely think Hendry will try to pursue other options. I just think Bradley would be a perfect target and would make the perfect project to test Dusty's abilities as someone who can manage a clubhouse. IMO Bakers abilities to manage a clubhouse are to play the veterans. He can't control the players like Bonds, Kent or Bradley. Hmmn. You serious cuse? I thought Baker did a half-way decent job in SF from keeping Bonds and Kent from killing each other. Are there any other volatile personalities on the Cubs at the present time that could potentially send Bradley off ? I'm not aware of any. I think the Cubs would be a good situation for Bradley considering their star player and manager both share the same race. It would appear that it would make for a comfortable environment for him. Most of the regular Cubs appear to be either soft-spoken or good guys. Barrett, Prior, Wood, Zambrano, Ramirez, Lee, Murton, Dempster, Maddux, etc. The only person I could envision remotely having an issue with another teammate like that would be Walker. Even then I'd bet against that happening, and he's apparently likely to be dealt.

Have you ever watched him play the outfield or are you just offering an uninformed opinion? According to BP, Mench was a little above average defensively last year. However, the previous 3 years(which cumulatively is a couple games more than he had this year) he was decidedly subpar defensively.
-
I agree. Furcal wouldn't be my number one priority, but if he is Hendry's I'm glad he's being quick about it.

Is this guy for real?
Transmogrified Tiger replied to Dr. Cub's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
From Foxsports.com: " Bob Howry joined the Indians' bullpen on June 29 following a slow recovery from surgery on his right elbow in 2003." -
Seriously, he has much more value than the Dodgers want for him.
-
No way is he near enough an impact bat for RF. Career line: .269/.350/.426/.776 Sorry, but these numbers are worse than Burnitz career, and equal to Burnitz last year with a dozen more walks. Vance did make the disclaimer that he would have to return to his .900 OPS form.
-
Huff: .321/.428/.749 Burnitz: .322/.435/.757 Near as I can tell, they are the same player. Burnitz is older; Huff is a whiner. My conclusion: stay away from both! Your conclusion might be right, but we are so short of outfielders I think it's worth the gamble on a Huff rebound. If he hits like he did last year we are no worse off. That's an okay mindset come January and February, but I don't think we can be settling for that type of production at the very beginning of the offseason.

Cavaliers dominate Seattle tonight, 112-85. They shot 31-33 from the foul line.
-
Walker and Dopirak for Crisp and Betancourt
-
I thought the same thing. Seemed like they're paying him for what he hasn't done yet. While it certainly isn't unlikely he'll improve, it's probably premature to give him a big extension.
-
Gomes please. Then you can use Murton in a Abreu deal.
