Even seconds after the whistle, Tim Howard will not be trifled with your nonsense.

it's uzr Yes, yes it is. And it's about as reliable as a day laborer with a drinking problem. Yes, we all understand you both have a blinding hatred of UZR. -

wha? Fontenot posted a +18 UZR last year and is +20 this year in about a month's worth of games at 2B. DeRosa has never put up a positive UZR at 2B and was nearly -16 last year, and hasn't played the position yet this season. With Fontenot seemingly likely to be 20 runs better per season with the glove, DeRosa needs to maintain a very high offensive output in conjuction with Fontenot being terrible with the bat in order to be a better value.

(a) chris perez is better than the names you listed. (b) i like how your PTBNL is just a five-letter asset that apparently does not differ from one team to another. Screw that noise, Chris Perez is not better than Ascanio. This is a good deal for the Cards, it sucks that it gives them another decent hitter. Can't say I'm too upset from the "where were you Hendry?" angle though. Like was mentioned before, the only place they can really make any changes is at 2B, and I don't think Fontenot and DeRosa will be too different on an offense+defense basis going forward. If they traded for somebody like Clint Barmes(although I've been pushing for him since the offseason), I wouldn't complain though.

But he doesn't bat left-handed. And he's terrible. I'd rather play with a 24 man roster than with So Taguchi. Yeah, but you'd probably play with a 23 man roster as long as McGehee is on it.

Theriot is 4th in UZR for MLB SS, at +13.9 UZR/150, 5 runs ahead of the next best SS.

Hey, Cales is alive. -
I've just gotten back to the computer, and I'm a bit fuzzy on the details. Is this the Cavs' pick or is it going to Phoenix? My understanding is it's Cleveland's. He's a perfect fit for them. Great perimeter defender who can shoot from deep. That's what I'm seeing now too. Great pick, non-guaranteed money, similar skillset to Young, and saving money on the foreign 1st rounder lets them have more flexibility in free agency. Nicely done, Danny Ferry.

I can't believe that Sam Young fell to the Cavs, and they drafted an African player whose ceiling is that of Sam Young.
-
I just saw the Bradley red. I'm pretty sure that's not even a foul.

Unless that's simply a posed shot, that is a very confusing photo.

Pretty low for Castro. Also, why Searle so high? Castro hasn't done a ton to impress me. His tools and age for level put him in the top 10, but with no walk rate and no power, plus a ton of errors for the second year running, he doesn't beat out guys like Coleman or Searle who have better results. Lee is in front of him primarily because he hasn't had a chance to screw up yet and show his flaws. Hitting nearly .500 his first few games at Boise didn't hurt either. Rhee would be up with Searle if his stuff is similar after TJS, and probably pushing the upper echelon I separated. Speaking of Searle, I have him high because he's doing very well in High A as a 19 year old. I feel his stuff and style will help him better as he ascends. His sinker is a rarity and improved defenses will get him more outs. Also, since he's new to this level of pitching as he adjusts(maturity goes with this for him) I think you'll see improvement as well. It may seem hypocritical to justify Searle that high and Castro that low, but can see Searle taking steps forward beyond his current production a lot easier than I can Castro.

Cales got demoted to Daytona at the end of May. He hasn't pitched in a week now, although with the All-Star break that's only been 5 games. Curious that he hasn't been used though, he'd gone right back to dominating at Daytona since his demotion. -
hahaha, awesome headline from Ives. "Confederations Cup: 23 Americans advance, one goes home"

ESPN is replaying the Brazil-Italy game, and the goal barrage is just about to start.
-
We need one of +2 from both matches, +3 from us and +1 from Brazil or +4 from us and 0 from Brazil. We have to win at least 3-0 and have our winning margin and Brazil's add up to seven or more. If we go +2 in the second half and Brazil goes +1, then we win 3-0 and have the margin add up to 7.
-
So we need +2 in the second half and +1 in the second half from Brazil.

Lee is 2 for 2 with a pair of singles and a SB, but has a fielding and throwing error at SS, which came on the same play. -
Gordons over team control for a few years, and nowhere near his ceiling. Teahens on a 1 year deal. Teahen isn't a Free Agent until after 2011. That is simply a horrifyingly bad deal for the Royals. Teahen has more value than Guzman, Mahay and Cruz have much more value than "salary throw-in", and Freel has zero value to anybody.

Really hoping Sam Young falls to 30. Failing that, I'd like to see DaJuan Summers or a big man who can pick and pop.
