Then why put him on waivers to begin with? That makes no sense. Isn't it a waste of time on the Mets part to put him on waivers to begin w/ if they have no interest in trading him........................... To mask the players that they do want to trade. -
Amazing play by BJ Upton

Beane altering some philosphies?
Transmogrified Tiger replied to hawkeyecub's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
BA is not exactly indicative of a team that doesn't make contact. Neifi Perez makes a lot of contact (avoiding the strikeout) but he doesn't have a good BA. Most likely the A's have a low team BABIP meaning they make a lot of contact but more of them become outs than other teams with higher BA. Correct. The A's are 13th of 14 AL teams in BABIP. Only The White Sox are worse. -
I'm sure Morris was concerned with giving the Brewers credit when he made that comment. The Cubs aren't the ones who have hit anyone this series, or thrown at players' heads in the past. They're 5-3 v. the Cards this year, the only team that's beaten the Cards with consistency this year besides Philadelphia.

Beane altering some philosphies?
Transmogrified Tiger replied to hawkeyecub's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Here's my issue with that. A hitter's mentality has gone from "try to get a hit/get on base", to "hit it to this side of the field/hit it with this elevation, so if I make an out something good will happen". The hitter is no longer focused on success, he's trying to make sure his failure isn't as bad. Does that make sense? Also, relating to Beane's comments, valuing hitters that make contact and valuing hitters that make productive outs are not the same thing necessarily. I'm interested to see Beane's exact comments. -

That's an awesome shirt. -
But the fact of the matter is, every team has players that overacheive, and those that don't live up to their billing. This isn't a unqiue situation the Cardinals are in. Really? I doubt there are many if any teams that have had such turnarounds with as many players as the Cards have had.

corey is a boras boy I've tried searching for the same kind of website.. no luck. If anyone knows of any, please share. http://www.mlbcontracts.blogspot.com I have that link already, but where do they list the players' agents? Look at the team pages, if the information is available, it'll be last in the player's info.

He might be able to do that if he didn't have: 1) A high priced wife who sucks every last dollar out of his bank account and 2) An agent who keeps telling him he needs to hit home runs or he won't get paid. Haha, awesome. Completely baseless and false, but awesome.
-
Yes, because Carpenter and Lee compare completely. Carpenter leads in just about every pitching metric known to man.
-
That really is something else McCarver. Now shut up about the cars.
-
for those of us deemed not cool enough to watch the game by FOX, what happened? Foul bunt deflected him "below the belt".
-
Clemens' opposition: .184 LD%, .238 BABIP Carpenter's opposition: .194 LD%, .263 BABIP Clemens hasn't been that much luckier than Carpenter.
-
Better K/BB and more Ks than Clemens. That's about it, though (unless you're a fool who loves wins for pitchers). What a silly thought. I'm still a little surprised that Edmonds thought the wall was only 8-feet high. And that the ball was about 7 feet to his right.
-
Better than Walker this year, (especially hitting for the cycle) and he is still better than Walker defensively. Walker > Grudz, and it's not very close.
-
Carpenter can't locate at all, and we don't take a single strike that inning. Horrible control yet a 14 pitch inning.
-
Here's the problem with trying to use this: Womack didn't have a Bonds-esque season, as you make it sound like. His OPS on the season was 30 points higher that Eckstien's career average. Yet it was still easily the best season of Womack's career, at age 34. 2002 (with Pittsburgh): .94 WHIP, .161 BAA, 2.65 ERA 2003 (with Yankees): 1.29 WHIP, .201 BAA, 3.18 ERA 2005 (with Cardinals): .91 WHIP, .175 BAA, 2.54 ERA Why can't you say that 2003 was a fluke from his recent history? 2002: 17 IP 2003: 17 IP 2004: 12 IP 2005: 46 IP Reyes has pitched as many innings this year as the last 3 years combined. He hasn't been within 20 innings of this year's total since 1999. The point remains is that the Cardinals have consistently gotten players to overachieve. Some of that can be attributed to coaching, some to luck. How much of each we'll never know. However, you can't deny the good fortunes of the Cards the last few years as they have had significantly better W-L records than their performance should have dictated.

It would be greatly appreciated. Enjoy the game. -
Go on.
-
Looks like TLR is playing the L/R matchup even though Taguchi has been good against RHP lately.
-
Thank you for giving us a sporting chance Dusty.
-
I'd probably call it an anomaly because of sample size, like you say.
-
Abort! Haha, with the cap system we had it was either them or Cleveland. Since Defenses can't get hurt, and we don't score based on points allowed, they'll be there until Tampa is off, then I'll cut them for the cap space.
-
Your team looks pretty good, although you might be in trouble if Brown and Henry start over your two RBs. I really like your wideouts. I drafted a team tonight in a 10 team league with friends. We play with a salary cap of sorts, but I'm really happy with my team. QB Bulger RB D. Davis RB K. Jones WR Holt WR Roy Williams TE Witten K Wilkins DEF Tampa Bay BN Harrington BN L. Jordan BN Cadillac Williams BN Michael Clayton BN Jimmy Smith BN Teyo Johnson BN J. Carney BN STL Defense Any thoughts?
