http://mlb.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/chc/news/chc_news.jsp?ymd=20030705&content_id=409599&vkey=news_chc&fext=.jsp Isn't Patterson making close to 4 million? He was sent down, where was Dusty arguing to keep him up? 2.8 million for Patterson this year, compared to the 4.5 million of Burnitz and 7.75 of Lawton.

I only find one post that says "evaluating a pitcher on Wins is just plain ignorant". That's attacking the argument, not you. Like I said, implying "ignorance" about anyone is ugly, in my opinion. You're entitled to disagree. That's fine, but attacking the argument in that fashion falls within the parameters of the community, so don't be upset when it happens. I'm hardly "upset". I just think there are more appropriate ways to attack an argument, that's all. Okay. I didn't mean to imply that you were upset, I meant in the future. Sorry about that. -

What's Corey hitting since his return?
Transmogrified Tiger replied to erik316wttn's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Not to nick pick, but he's actually hitting .276/.323/.483/.806 - which is MUCH better. :lol: I didn't want to be accused of rounding up to favor him. :P -

Minor League Discussion & Boxes 8-16-05
Transmogrified Tiger replied to Laura's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
Good to see some walks from Cedeno since his return to AAA. -
I'm pretty sure it's Billiards.

.275/.322/.482/.804 in 31 Plate Appearances. -
With the 15th pick, Cut for Cap Space selects.... Julius Jones, Running Back, Dallas Cowboys
-
I just had a mild panic attack when I realized that you had Moss/Culpepper while forgetting Moss was in Oakland.
-
Did you manage to draft the 2 oldest backs with your first two picks in a KEEPER league? Pick again Uber!
-
Looks like Vance is going for it all this year.
-
Wow. Neifi got claimed and Walker didn't. Bit of a shocker. Does anyone think that this means Walker has already vested for 2006? Walker doesn't vest until 525 Plate Appearances, he's not going to vest. Thanks, Cots didnt have the # and roto said it was unknown so I thought it wasnt reported...if he vests at 525, how many PAs would he have needed to vest at 2.75? Sorry, don't know.

Re-sign DLee?
Transmogrified Tiger replied to OldHappyCubFan's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
I was thinking the same thing. I'd rather wait until after next season to make Lee an offer. If he doesn't accept, let him walk and stick Sing at 1B for 07. Then sign Hafner the following offseason. Hafner is under team control through 2008. -

With the 6th pick, Cut for Cap Space selects.... Donovan McNabb, Quarterback, Philadelphia Eagles

-
In fairness, I think Dusty was referring to the defense in reference to Hill's start.
-
How are you going to get Hudson? Toronto still thinks pretty highly of him I believe.
-
And on what basis do you make this claim? He's been hurt the past two season, and he'll be 33 next yr. I'd rather have some younger legs out there, and the Cub defense is pretty brutal. Walker didn't go on the DL last year, what did he injure? He missed some game's last year. Think he was banged up some. Lee, Walker, Nomar and ARam give the Cubs one of the best hitting infields in baseball, but they have to be near the bottom in fielding. Lee saves them from being the worse. Lee is very good, Ramirez is bad, Walker is average, and Nomar is an unknown, although admittedly his skills are deteriorating. Cedeno is an above average fielder, having him around to spell in the middle infield or even start at SS in '06 makes more sense than displacing a good, cheap option in Walker.

I sincerely doubt that the difference between Soriano and Walker is worth 6.5 games. How about six weeks of Jerry Hairston and Jose Macias (and LOTS of Neifi) while Walker was hurt? Good point. Thank you. If Nomar's back, I'd rather go for a defensive 2b like Orlando Hudson. Walker's a good hitter, but he doesn't have much range and his durability isn't that great. Walker will never win a gold glove, but his defense has been right about average(97 rate, 2 runs below average) to go with his bat that is well above average. Add in the fact he's very cheap for next season and I'll definitely take him. Why do you say that Walker's durability isn't that great? This year marked his first year on the disabled list in memory. He hasn't been on the DL from 2001 on, and he played 143 games exactly the 3 years prior to that. Seems to me that he's been quite durable over his career. He has a team option and vesting option correct? Could he end up making more than 2.75 mil. next year?? With Nomar not looking good at all in the field, I want someone who's really good up the middle of the diamond. They can make up some of Walker's loss of production by getting Giles for right, which would be a HUGE upgrade over Burnitz. Walker's option starts at 2.5 million and maxes at 2.75 million.

I guess there's a bit of an upside to Dusty's personality, he'll never make annoying, biased, unfactual claims for a player to get an award. Oh wait, he does that to justify playing time for the terrible players on the team, which is infinitely worse than a meaningless award. :(

Just so everyone knows, I'll be moving to school tomorrow, so I may have some problems getting online if my pick comes up. I don't anticipate it being a prolonged issue, just a matter of getting set up on the school's network.
