I read on CBS sportsline that the White Sox are trying to get Huff. It looks like he's going on his typical second half terror. His power is back this month after being gone when he was ineffective/injured earlier. I wouldn't complain if the Cubs snagged him now, I was beginning to have doubts. -
I figure this would do fine as Game 1, you can change the title to reflect the time change and change in starters(if any).
-
Neifi went 17 for 117 earlier this season, and Dusty said he was unlucky. I shudder to think what it would take for Dusty to realize Neifi isn't good at the plate.

So we should keep him because of one good outing? In just under 30 innings Remmy has a 1.10 WHIP, and is striking out around 7.5 batters per 9 innings. I say keep him unless you have 6 relievers better than him, which we don't right now. He might be OK if Dusty used him correctly, but he continues to use him as a LOOGY which he doesn't succeed in. We already have Ohman who can handle the LOGGY role, as evidenced by his .213 BAA against lefties. Remlinger has 29 IP this year, 20 against RH, 9 against LH. Link I'm not saying Remmy's awesome, but we could do worse right now. Like I said before, unless he's the worst reliever out there(he's not right now), I say we hold onto him.

How about........anybody? Baker almost never PH's with the catcher because of this. Keeping someone who isn't a catcher because he has a shred of ability to fill in for an inning or two once or twice a year is ridiculous.

The Cubs offense needs a 6th hitter, with a good slugging %, and if Nomar comes back then they have a #2 hitter. One last thing about Walker there's probably a good reason why he's paid $2.5 million. Maybe Bill James would give him $5 million, but I don't see anyone hiring him to be gm. They can't because he's too busy helping Theo Epstein on the World Champion Red Sox.

Bakers love of Hollandsworth

Why doesn't he just start Gerut against RH? Better defense, better splits against RH, it doesn't make sense. -
I've never heard Gary Gillette's name before. Who is he?

jtownie, Roast, Vance, and CPattfan27, here's the final scenario: The Yankees find themselves in a 3 way battle for divisional supremacy. They have some holes, and other spots that may need improvement. Your job is to improve them to get to the postseason. Since this is the Yankees, we'll assume that they can take on payroll, but not excessively so(like taking on Beltran's contract for prospects). Use as many deals as you like, and for the finals, the odds of the trade happening will not be considered. The winner will be judged on how much the deal(s) improve the team and how fair the deal(s) are for both sides. In the interests of fairness, please don't post your idea in this thread. PM them to me, and I'll announce the winner when all the entries have been received and judged. The deadline for this scenario is the actual trading deadline, Sunday afternoon. Have fun, and good luck!

I don't like Burnett. He's helped out by Pro Player, he's been injury prone, and he'll cost a lot in cash and players to acquire. If we were to get a starter, I don't see Hendry going big(nor should he IMO).
-
My apologies, if you submitted an entry you advanced. I'll have the final scenario up today.
-
For 9 million dollars, I expect a little more than a 4.50 ERA "almost always", since that's what a quality start is(albeit at its worst). However, Maddux isn't even close to "almost always" pitching a quality start. 2004: 19 QS in 33 starts, 57% 2005: 12 QS in 21 starts, 57%

No, Derwood's correct. Someone show otis the picture.

I'm talking about going forward. All of his stats are skewed by his ridiculous April. Since then he's reverted to his career norms, which are awful at hitting, hitting for power, getting on base, and everything else related to offense in baseball. Yeah, but his .200 batting average over the last month or so is not indicative of his talent either. His current stats overall are pretty much in sync with his career numbers (.269/.300/.380). Even those numbers are inflated, since he spent half his career in Colorado. The point is, he's really really bad, probably not good enough to be on a ML roster, and definitely not good enough to start with any regularity.

He doesn't suck, he's a very serviceable SS just not what we were expecting as a starter. He's hitting in the .260s not .230 Corey was a worse. Atleast Neifi makes contact. He's one of the worst hitters in the game, his OBP is criminal. I loved that HR as much as anyone(I was there, it was awesome), but people are saying that he's on fire when he's 2 for 8 these last two games. He's an awful hitter, plain and simple. He's awful, but he is a back-up. His offense is actually slightly above replacement and he plays plus defense. Seriously, it would be hard to expect much else from a back-up. Come on, he's been sub-600 OPS for over 2 months. He's certainly not above replacement level.

Holy crap, he double-switched out Neifi!
-
Dusty didn't do that on purpose. he's just been wearing out the rest of the pen recently. Yeah, Remmy and Mitre are the only ones that didn't go last night.
-
Alou with the always impressive slide after the catch.
-
Macias has broken bats in consecutive at bats. Kudos.
-
The guys who hit the most line drives typically hit a good deal of home runs.
-
Good call, he was out at 3rd.
