    Murton and Hoffpauir will be down there soon enough, as will Hart. Wells is worth watching despite his implosion in his last outing.
  2. Transmogrified Tiger
    Vitters with yet another double. .370/.414/.519/.933
  3. Transmogrified Tiger
    DNP Vitters now 2 for 3 with a double on the evening. His line as of the millisecond: .346/.393/.462/.855

    shortly after he was picked, Hendry or Wilken said it was a possibility. I can see him finishing this season as a reliever and start stretching him out over the offseason but how would that work? you would lose some arb years if they brought him up this year as a reliever then spent the following season stretching him out as a starter in the minors, right? Option years. Arbitration/free agency is tied to service time, which is only accrued on the Major League Roster and DL.
  5. Transmogrified Tiger
    Vitters is 1 for 2 and Flaherty 1 for 1 with a walk in the early going for Boise.
  6. Transmogrified Tiger
    haha, first pitch and oppo? awesome
  7. Transmogrified Tiger
    Yes. I'll merge this one with the Samardzija thread in Minor Leagues and update to include Pie and Hill.

    How long of a contract did he get? If it's only one year, I'm surprised there's no rumor of him being on the hot seat. If I'm Jocketty, I didn't hire him and I don't want him around my kids. He'd be gone already. There would have been four managers canned last week. He may be under instructions to allow him to last the year since they don't have any expectations of competing this year anyways. The Reds have enough pieces in place to be scary in another year or two, so I'd like to see Dusty keep hanging around there in the mean time. dude thats uncalled for. lets keep this about baseball. I believe by "kids" he's referring to the Reds' young players like Bruce, Votto, Cueto, Volquez, and Bailey. What irony, you fell in the sarchasm.

    IIRC, he's had 3 relief outings, 2 good, 1 awful. I'll dig up the log. Here we go. Looks like the bad one wasn't too awful after all. 1.2 IP, 1 K .2 IP, 4 H 1.2 IP, 2 K For a total of 4 IP, 4 H, 0 ER, 3/0 K/BB
  10. Transmogrified Tiger
    I doubt that's really the case. That's an overview from a source that's covering all 30 teams, so I don't think they're too in the know when it comes to the plans of the Organization for Cashner. He hasn't even signed yet, and even then there's talk of him becoming a starter again, so I doubt he sees Wrigley this season.
  11. Transmogrified Tiger
    Derwood's talking about the structure of the game. In basketball some teams will have better winning percentages at home than others, or have a better crowd to contribute to that. In baseball, the home team always has the advantage of the last at bat, regardless of their quality.
  12. Transmogrified Tiger
    If it happened once, it'll definitely happen again.
  13. Transmogrified Tiger
    Also, a heinous schedule and no conference championship game.
  14. Transmogrified Tiger
    I'd go with Francis.
  15. Transmogrified Tiger
    I remembered one easily, but couldn't get the other one without trying to cheat.
  16. Transmogrified Tiger
    I don't think CubbieBum is a Buckeye fan. Also, Illinois lost it's best player on both sides of the ball. Even with maturity from younger players, that's difficult to replace. Especially when Mendenhall helped take a lot of pressure off Williams and his arm. With a lesser back, Juice is going to have to make better throws, more often. If he can't, U of I isn't going to score much.
  17. Transmogrified Tiger
    I don't think anyone who was upset with Rothschild was saying that the changes made were "maintaining the problem". The point was that when you have a guy like Hill, who in the past was the left handed Rick Vaughn, who needed to see a sports psychologist along with mechanical changes to be effective at the MLB level, you should probably not try to do more tinkering than necessary. Changing his mechanics so he's quicker to the plate after he was one of the best starters in the NL qualifies as excessive tinkering to me.
  18. Transmogrified Tiger
    What parks?
  19. Transmogrified Tiger
    They're only 4.5 games out. I'm not sure why people think they want to trade their best pitcher. I'm also not sure why we'd be willing to give up much of anything for a guy who has averaged 15 starts per season over the last four years. Beane was burned on the Giambi deal, and he hasn't let another player walk via FA since. If he doesn't think he can afford to resign him in the offseason, he'll be dealt, unless they're looking like strong WS contenders, and not just a borderline playoff team. Beane knows as well as anyone can win the WS once they make the playoffs. If he thinks they can get in, he's not going to trade away Harden. He also has 5 starters with ERA's under 4, plus Blanton, and an offense that will keep them out of the playoffs if they don't add to it. We might not be able to give them what they need though.

    Why would they trade Patterson? Don't they need a 2b for next year? He has shown alot of promise in the last couple of days. btw I know it is a small sample size, but he has still been impressive. DeRosa is under contract through 2009.
  22. Transmogrified Tiger
    We were up 4.5 games like 2 weeks ago. http://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/CHC/2008_sched.shtml Agree to disagree.
  23. Transmogrified Tiger
    Vitters singled in his second AB. Jackson's final line: 3 IP, 1 H, 1 ER, 6/1 K/BB Brett Lorin for Boise's opponent the SkySox: 5 IP, 3 H, 1 ER, 12/1 K/BB
  24. Transmogrified Tiger

  25. Transmogrified Tiger
    Another unnecessary CG attempt from Dempster? Cmon, we're going to need him come September/October. he's only at 96 pitches so it's not as bad as last time, but unnecessary still.
