Jermaine Dye

Difference being Cameron put up those offensive numbers in CF, and he's 2 wins better defensively. -
Every team's fans like their own players more than everyone else, but OH is special in how insulted they are that people would feel differently. And SSR is kidding, the Reds aren't good and they aren't going anywhere soon.

Jackson isn't really a better option than Marshall or Gorzelanny.

New College Uniforms for 2009 and maybe beyond?
Transmogrified Tiger replied to RedFlash's topic in Other Sports
Each team will wear them for one game in November, I believe they're trying to make sure that each game is against a school that is not also a Nike team(I think the exception is UF-FSU). For Mizzou, this means those jerseys come out at Arrowhead -

Yeah, I want to see the helmet and some better shots of them before reserving judgment. They probably won't blow me away, but at least there's nothing hideous like the numbers on that Miami jersey. -
2009 Arizona Fall League

And Castro taking BP before said Rising Stars game. -
Even with the poor defense, Castillo was worth his contract last year. On his defense, his ErrR didn't change much at all over the last several years, but his range went in the tank as soon as he became a Met. I wonder if there's some externality behind some of that steep regression. The problem with platooning him is that he is a switch hitter with a big contract, so Lou will probably want to send him out there every day. There's also the matter that he doesn't have much of a consistent platoon split, so you may not even be maximizing his value by platooning him with Baker. I don't know how I feel about this, at this point in the offseason I feel like we could do better for Bradley.

Castro taking ground balls before the Rising Stars game -
At this point I'm afraid we'll need 7 wins to make a bowl, and I'm not positive we'll get six. I think they'll be alright. Saturday sucked, but I have confidence they'll straighten it out for this week.

I really think I'd be okay with losing to Iowa State at home by several touchdowns if we could take KSU behind the woodshed. Their ascent to the top of the North without beating a single team in the top half of the conference is irritating. Plus Bill Snyder is right up there with Pelini of the coaches I hate most in the conference. Oh sweet, one of them gets to win the North now because we got 40 hung on us by Baylor. I'm going to stop depressing myself now.
-
Feel better now? It certainly softens the blow.
-
Yahoo, that wasn't cool telling me that Chris Johnson had an 81 yard TD run then taking it back.
-
Cameron has been a 4 WAR player 3 of the last 4 years. Bradley had a 1 WAR last year. Even with Cameron significantly regressing and the positional adjustment it's a big benefit. Plus Fukudome's defense plays way up in RF.
-
Let's not be ridiculous here. Cameron's older and therefore not a super long term solution, but he unequivocally makes the team better.
-
Seconded, it's really fascinating how unorganized and crazy Major League Baseball was back then.

Sammy Sosa is a zombie
Transmogrified Tiger replied to Butterscup1679666578's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Lestat got him too. -
I didn't recognize any of those guys off hand, than I realized, "hey, most of those guys is white. That must be Duke". Then I scrolled down and saw I was right.
-
What an outstanding move for the Twins. Good for them.
-
Yes, trade for lots of third basemen Dayton Moore. You don't need Gordon, trade him away.
-
I'm sure the Sox would just be thrilled if Hermida decided to crack a .750 OPS. Shouldn't be that tough now that he's free of Land Shark.
-
The Red Sox are a really smart franchise.
-
Nomar never really hit for any power until he was a 22 year old in AAA, and then from then on in MLB.
-
There's no problem in getting a guy who's going to be a 1-2 win guy for at or below market value, it's not like Iwamura is hindering the progression of some long term asset anyway. You can't funnel every penny into the draft and scouting because then you never sell any tickets and have less revenue than if you had spent it on somebody. Plus Iwamura stands a decent chance of fetching them a draft pick after the season anyways, or maybe a better return at the deadline if he's having a strong season.
-
Yeah, I remember a few years ago we had a pitcher whose upside was Clemens and downside was Mussina. And that guy suuuuucked at pitching.
-
I have a hard time seeing any difference between Crisp and Fuld.
