    Jose Reyes

    Murton got jobbed this year, but hopefully we can still use him as a trading chip this offseason. Unfortunately with the construction of the current roster the best chance of having a good offense is acquiring someone to play RF next year. Since Murton is no guarantee of the production we'd like(yes, even with his .800 OPS in '06), I'd rather they look to someone like Quentin(who is undervalued and plays world class defense in RF) for that gamble, or go get someone who isn't a strong defender but can mash(Burrell).

    I think I had a dream last night we beat Brazil in the friendly. On a less crazy note, Dempsey scored Fulham's goal in their 2-1 loss to Aston Villa. Video goodness

    I'd settle for Derrek Lee circa 2005. http://www.tedwilliams.com/_data/images/1941s/title3.jpg a walk per game and only 27 (!!) strikeouts Sweet Jesus, he only struck out 27 times at that point?!? What the hell was up with him that year? Doesn't he average like 3 times that many strikeouts otherwise? After he returned from WWII, he never struck out even 50 times in a season. His career high was 64, the only time he was ever 55 or higher.

    Hernandez is going to be a star.
  6. Transmogrified Tiger
    Silva loves him some astroturf.
  7. Transmogrified Tiger
    His production would have been golden for us. Oh well. Also, isn't this one of the few years Dunn doesn't appear to be dropping off in the 2nd half? That was the big argument against him, that he wasn't good in August or September. Right now he's having his best month of the year, a 1.065 OPS in August.
  8. Transmogrified Tiger
    Just to add on to that. The most games he's played in CF in one season was 33. I suspect it was because of an injury. In all other seasons he's played CF in less than a dozen games/year. He also played 27 games there in 2004 in addition to the 33 in 2005. In 2006 and 2007, he hasn't played much center, but that's understandable considering Granderson started 143 games there last year and has started 110 games there already this year. He's certainly played enough there to be considered a candidate out there, and both Lou and Hendry emphasized that he can play all 3 OF positions, so I don't think they will be hesitant to put him out there. In 2004-2005 the alternatives were Nook Logan and Alex Sanchez in CF.

    Signed up, and yes, please go with fractional points. I don't see any reason not to.
  10. Transmogrified Tiger
    I know, it's crazy. The Cubs get a guy to replace Murton who plays his position and hits from the same side of the plate and his name gets brought up. Who knew?
  11. Transmogrified Tiger
    No.
  12. Transmogrified Tiger
    No, actually he sucked. Your assesment of his contributions suck. Burnitz played 160 games of solid RF. He scored 84 runs, hit 24 HR, and drove in 87 on a bad team. He hit .258/.322/.435 for a 96 OPS+ as a Right Fielder. He was pretty bad.
  13. Transmogrified Tiger
    That was great. "Watching these "experts" do a fantasy draft is like watching a dating advice show hosted by Screech and Bill Nye the Science Guy."
  14. Transmogrified Tiger
    THAT'S what it was called. I've recalled sketches from that show several times, I could never remember the name though.
  15. Transmogrified Tiger
    Fulham just signed Casey Keller, making it 5 Americans on their roster now. That also means that Americans now make up 20% of the starting goalkeepers in the EPL, with Howard, Hahnemann, and Friedel being the others(kudos to SBI for that factoid).
  16. Transmogrified Tiger
    Braylon Edwards - WR - CLE Alex Smith - QB - SF
  17. Transmogrified Tiger
    Definitely need someone more reliable than Quinn as the backup if McNabb is your starter. And I agree with the guy who said the WR core doesn't look good.
  18. Transmogrified Tiger
    Does anyone know of any good outfield bats coming into free agency this year? Sulley's a big Andruw fan.
  19. Transmogrified Tiger
    Murton since being recalled Overall: .254/.323/.441/.764 v. RHP: .268/.348/.512/.860
  20. Transmogrified Tiger
    That's because he was 36 by the time he got to St. Louis. He still put up one of the top 5 seasons of his 17 year career there(pending '07).

    I voted the Gatorade bucket on the condition that it's mostly full. An empty Gatorade cooler could conceivably blow far enough in the wind during a fly ball to cover roughly 5-6x the ground that Floyd could.
  22. Transmogrified Tiger
    Fantastic. Jamie Kennedy did this to "X" an audience at a college basketball game once. Proposed to a girl(who was in on it) and was turned down in humiliating fashion. Then he won some contest to shoot a free throw for a bunch of money and screwed that up too, also in humiliating fashion.
  23. Transmogrified Tiger
    That quote conflicts with some reports I'd read about Thomas' defensive capabilities.
