    I'd settle for Piniero realizing that he hasn't bought Brandon Webb's sinker on the voodoo market.
  2. Transmogrified Tiger
    I'm surprised they made that move with Jon Jay clogging things up.
  3. Transmogrified Tiger
    Duncan wasn't even on the MLB roster when he was dealt, trading him didn't open up any space in the outfield or even on the roster. I'm also really amused that the Nationals scout was at Tuesday's Memphis game, a rainout.
  4. Transmogrified Tiger
    Hawk's call of the last out is the funniest thing I've heard in quite a while.
  5. Transmogrified Tiger
    Probably Lake. Lee and Castro have pretty much been used exclusively at SS this season, but Lake's been all around the infield. Plus, when I saw him it looked like he still had some growing/filling out to do, which could merit a move to 2B or 3B full-time. To be fair, Lake is the only one who has played on a team with another guy who deserves some time at shortstop in Flaherty. Watkins is probably a legitimate shortstop.

    Things I didn't know before today: Victor Martinez turns 31 this offseason. I'm not too surprised. Martinez isn't great for a 1B, and if that's where he's headed then it's not a good idea to give up a premium arm like Buccholz when you can give up nothing and get the same thing from LaRoche/Lowell.
  7. Transmogrified Tiger
    He's 24 in AA and has a .785 OPS with pretty much zero power. I'm not sure how he is defensively, but if he's great as a CF then maybe he's a 5th OF.
  8. Transmogrified Tiger
    Jackson and Castro can get in line as far as I'm concerned. Castro needs more peripherals, and Cashner's stuff wins out over Jackson's age/innings so far.
  9. Transmogrified Tiger
    Next year's money isn't guaranteed unless he hits 635 PAs this year - he hasn't come close to that once in his career. 2010 is a club option. Sanchez made the All-Star team this year, so his option vests at 600 PA's. He's currently on pace for more than 660.
  10. Transmogrified Tiger
    Freddy Sanchez would be a big, big mistake. Sanchez is 31 about to turn 32. He's not going to get better, and with this year being a career year, it will likely get worse. Sanchez is an averageish defender. He adds no extra value with the glove. Sanchez is a career .300 hitter with mediocre walk and power rates, which means his value is very much tied to his BABIP. That's why awesome Freddy in 2009 can follow up awful Freddy in 2008. And most importantly, Sanchez will make 8 million dollars next season. I'm not too excited to pay a .300/.330/.420/.750 hitter with average 2B defense that much money when there's no chance for projection because he's 32.
  11. Transmogrified Tiger
    Samardzija and Heilman both pitched in extra innings, on the road, but not Gregg. Dumb.
  12. Transmogrified Tiger
    Baseless accusation: Chan Ho Park is doctoring the baseball. His 2 seamer is moving like a foot down and a foot in to RH hitters.
  13. Transmogrified Tiger
    Heilman has good stuff today. Nice job by Hill surprising him with the slider.
  14. Transmogrified Tiger
    This should be Gregg. If he gets the out here, you have to use Heilman in the 12th. That means you're using him before Gregg, which is a mistake.
  15. Transmogrified Tiger
    I've never seen a Major League player look like a newborn pony more times than Alfonso Soriano.

  17. Transmogrified Tiger
    Oh are you kidding me
  18. Transmogrified Tiger
    A full count is not license to run with whoever you want, why are you running there?
  19. Transmogrified Tiger
    It's shifting blame. Is it the Cubs drafting poorly? Or not developing well drafted talent? Or not having the picks? They're not mutually exclusive, but they're separate problems.
  20. Transmogrified Tiger
    The Cubs drafted pretty poorly for a while, but they also had a 3 year span where they were missed a 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th round pick. Considering that the best chance at having a useful commodity comes from the first few rounds, the Cubs going through a stretch where they missed that many early picks is worth noting. PS I have no idea if this was mentioned in the article or not.
  21. Transmogrified Tiger
    Who from the farm system is going to replace Reed Johnson? Fuld. Not so much in the "Kosuke platoon partner" role, but the "5th outfielder/primary CF backup" role
  22. Transmogrified Tiger
    The Nationals have the 5th best offense in the NL, and we held them under 3 runs per game.
  23. Transmogrified Tiger
    Off white with blue piping is my dream Cubs uniform.
  24. Transmogrified Tiger
    Probably, but that vesting option is ugly. Nobody wants to take that on. he has missed some time with back spasms this season, is he on pace to match his plate appearance requirement still? Pretty easily. ESPN has him projected for about 660 PA's.
  25. Transmogrified Tiger
    I haven't just posted about KU. This is true, you've also posted about the Royals.
