Theriot is 17th of 28 qualified SS in OPS, 13th out of 27 in Runs Created(as a rate).

Looks like an O's fan's wistful fantasy. -
Crimeny, is Schuerholz retiring next year or something?
-
Would also likely be the death knell of Murton in Chicago, correct? I kind of thought Church would play CF and wouldn't really effect Murton. Of course, Murton could be part of the deal. I don't know if I'd like giving up Murton for Church. They seem very similar, with Murton having a little more potential and maybe a little better bat and Church being a better defender and being able to play CF. Church is every bit the bat Murton is, probably better.

I have--when the ball goes over the second cut-off guy or when it ships by him..... That's not what I said. Both those instances are poor throws, and would be considered poor throws no matter who is being thrown to. I said I've never heard of an outfielder getting in trouble for hitting the second cutoff with a strong throw.
-
I don't think it's unreasonable to suggest that an outfielder make as strong a throw as he can as long as it's on target, and if it makes it to the second cut-off man, then great. By a similar token, I've never heard of anyone getting in trouble for hitting the double cut with a strong throw.

TOP OF THE NINTH INNING Dempster in to pitch for the CUBS Dobbs popped out (foul) to shortstop Iguchi walked Iguchi stole second base Rollins singled to right field , Iguchi to third Iguchi thrown out trying to score on a wild pitch, 2-1, Rollins to second Howard struck out swinging 0 runs 1 hits 0 errors 1 men left on base That was the other play that was mentioned a while ago. Murton threw straight through to the plate on that one since it was just a single.
-
I think Howard was up, and hit a double into RF, Iguchi was on the bases and held up at 3rd.

To reiterate, Wood will be taking Cherry's spot on the roster later this week. That means from the right side we'll have: Dempster Howry Marmol Wood Wuertz If Michael Wuertz is the worst of the 5 RH relievers you have, then you do not have any type of need for another one. Batting Practice Bob is anything but reliable right now. He's given up a run in 6 of his last 27 outings. Since May ended he's had a WHIP right at 1, a K/9 above 9, a K/BB above 6, and only 2 HR in 26 innings. He's fine right now.

Marmol's arm isn't going to fall off, especially with Wood coming this week. I don't see how adding Silva makes Hill tradeable in the slightest. We do not need another RH bullpen arm.

Only problem is that we'd be paying the price the Reds want for Dunn, and I don't think we want to do that for Church + Rauch. Not really if the Nationals put in a couple pieces for the Reds. Starting with Rauch, who the Cubs don't need. Word. And he's a reliever, and it's Krivsky, even better.
-
Wouldn't the first baseman be following the runner to 2nd on a double cut?
-
Probably the career .292/.375/.506 minor league numbers. He's been jacked around by the Nats, so I don't know that his major league numbers are indicative of his talent level. Or maybe its harder in the Major Leagues? .287/.353/.466 in 2005 .276/.366/.526 in 2006

Teixeira doesn't count? One thing to remember is that Hendry has shown an ability to get it done at the 11th hour. Nomar and Lawton were both right at the deadline.
-
Colletti is an embarrassment.

Gomes available

They just demoted him. You could get him for a good arm and a bullpen arm. They did? I think so. I thought I read that somewhere. Hmmm, curious considering he's on the 25 man roster at the D-Rays site. Busting chops, new thing. -

To get the best return they could. The reason they would trade him isn't primarily for monetary reasons. Well if that's the best return the Reds can get, then I'd hold onto him. You don't think they should trade him for Murton, Pie, and Gallagher? Yeah, I don't think there's going to be too many offers for Junior better than that one.
-
But you said "did anyone just hear" on the Score, implying that you heard it a few minutes ago. Which is it? Calm down a bit. No need to grill anyone over semantics. It was clearly posted as a rumor.

Birds get Joel Pineiro

Has he had arm problems or surgery in the past? -
I ALREADY READ THAT ONE Did you, really? Busting chops today, ask anyone.
-
LOL, wasn't that drunk color guy Sutcliffe? Yes. And for the record, it was DeRosa, not Fontenot. Not that it matters who it was, but I'm busting chops today.
