Theriot really does have no range. I mean, there's not many people who get to that ball, if any, but most people are within 20 feet. -
The Angels are up 5, but your point is valid(especially considering the 2nd and 3rd best records in the NL are in our division).

Minor League Discussion & Boxes 6-24-2008
Transmogrified Tiger replied to Outshined_One's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
Rhee mowing em down again tonight. Thus far: 5 IP, 2 H, 1 ER, 5/1 K/BB -
anyone thinking they will just fade away and we win the division by 10 games is [expletive]. man, who crapped in your cheerios this morning? The people who constantly get to use personal attacks, by name, with mods posting in threads. Even though it is against the board rules. The high and mighty crap a certain group get away with on here. Okay, I read back 5 pages to when I woke up and got to the thread, and the closest thing to personal attacks I've found are you being bitterly sarcastic towards people. What are you talking about?

That ball was pretty easily outside, being a LH breaking pitch it was never close to the plate.

Cmon Kosuke, you could've saved a run with a better route

What an irritating at bat.

I'm not sure I'd make that trade off, and Pie being an outstanding defender while Patterson is below average makes it easier. I'd probably take Pie with a .300/.400 OBP/SLG over Patterson hitting .350/.400. It's kind of a judgement call. I assume you meant to write .350/.400 Patterson and .300/.500 Pie. I'm never sure how to value defense. It's sort of an intangible, and we really don't know how bad/good Patterson would be as a CF. We just know he's not great at 2b. Of Patterson and Pie, I wonder who has more value in the eyes of other teams? I'd probably trade whichever one would get me the frontline starter we need in any case. No, I meant a .400 SLG for Pie. He's really as good as it gets defensively, enough to make up for that OBP discrepancy. That said, if trading Patterson gets Randy Wolf, and Pie gets Burnett/Harden/Sabathia, it's a much different decision.

Theriot ran to 2nd when the ball was bunted, there's nothing else he can do.

Also, he's not as good at hitting as Patterson or Lee, so he has no place to play.

I can't find anything on Cubs.com. It's gonna be either Murton or Hoffpauir, with the other going down for Ward when he comes back this weekend. My guess is that it comes down to how Johnson is feeling. If he's still gimpy, then Murton will stay for a RH bench bat in the OF. If Johnson is okay, then Hoffpauir will remain.
-
All evidence to the contrary. For a left fielder? Absolutely. He was 24. And at 25 he put up a sub-.800 OPS, with a better than typical ratio of at bats against LHP that should've boosted his numbers. Now he's 26 and he's not hitting even at Iowa. He's backslid, and he doesn't have age and salary(as much as before) to help his value going forward.
-
When he can only play in LF with below average defense, it's close to that. Not really. AAAA guys can't hack it in the majors. Murton can, and has. He's no all-star, but he's a perfectly capable major league contributor. Now we're getting into semantics. Murton provides below average offense and below average defense at one position, the easiest to fill on the diamond. Whether or not that makes him "AAAA" or not depends on your definition, but he's fungible, and probably doesn't have a large role on a good team. All evidence to the contrary. For a left fielder? Absolutely.

Bulls get the #1 pick! 2008 NBA Draft Discussion
Transmogrified Tiger replied to DivineBovine's topic in Other Sports
I don't get that either. They already have Wallace, Z, etc. It may seem like a reach, but I'd go for CDR. At least he has a shot at taking the load off LeBron. I like CDR as well, getting another player who can attack the basket like CDR can would be a plus. Moreso, I'd like to see them go for a scoring big man to stave off double teams on LBJ(Z doesn't draw any). The latest mocks have guys like Arthur and Spreights hanging around near 19, to take a stiff like Hibbert or a stiff/project in Koufos would be a waste. If they absolutely have to have a center, JaVale McGee at least has upside and can pick and pop, and will be around that pick. -
Bulls get the #1 pick! 2008 NBA Draft Discussion
Transmogrified Tiger replied to DivineBovine's topic in Other Sports
It seems the Cavs are going to take someone like Koufos or Hibbert and achieve their seeming goal of pissing me off. -
Coke for me. Coke from Mexico is the best(and yes, I set that on a tee for an "lol drugs" joke).

I have traded MoJo Drew, Reggie Wayne, and TJ Houshmandzadeh to Roast for LaDainian Tomlinson. My Keepers stand as: RB LaDainian Tomlinson RB Joseph Addai WR Braylon Edwards
-
EPatt isn't going to hit enough to be an offensive CF, and he's not a good enough defender to be a strength there. While he's certainly a feasible option there, I'd rather not try to make room for him in CF, so to speak.
-
Was Dempster really that bad as a reliever that he wouldn't be a Type A if he ended up with that type of season? Better question, how does Elias handle someone who changes roles/positions within the 2 year timeframe?
-
We can make trades at this point, right? I'm looking to package Jones-Drew and a wideout for a top notch RB if someone's interested. Two keepers for the price of one.
-
The Brewers are also 4 games ahead of their pythagorean, good for 11 wins behind us in pythag W-L.

I suggest whatever you do won't matter because I'll knock you out of the playoffs anyway.
