    I'd trade the picks. The NFL is too unpredictable to bank on a guy(especially a running back), and the upgrade to move up 7 spots is greater than the downgrade of moving down 7 IMO.
  2. Transmogrified Tiger
    Hernandez, woot!
  3. Transmogrified Tiger
    Burrell? I said valuable... They traded away Abreu a while ago Tim. Sorry.
  4. Transmogrified Tiger
    Thanks for waiting til I come to Busch to be worthless, Cubs.
  5. Transmogrified Tiger
    The Cubs have the best pythagorean record in the NL.
  6. Transmogrified Tiger
    Works for me, but then where does DeRo go, RF, SS? Maybe a trade? The Cubs could have an IF of Patterson, Fontenot, Theriot and Cedeno next year. That would be ugly. Do Ramirez and Lee die or something? I think he meant starting and backup middle infielders.

    How long is the flight from St. Louis to Cincinnati? Like 20 minutes even when you lose an hour? We have a night game tomorrow, it's not a big deal.
  8. Transmogrified Tiger
    Just let Soto do it, this isn't rocket science.
  9. Transmogrified Tiger
    Actually, that's exactly what they were talking about when you entered the discussion. The comparison was between Eyre and Linebrink and how smart it was to acquire them based on their ability going forward.
  10. Transmogrified Tiger
    I say go for it. Should there be any conditions if Uber manages to find his way back?

    There's no doubt Braun is very good and is going to be good but, .352 AVG, 1.059 OPS good? When is the league going to catch up to this guy? There hasn't been another Pujols since...well, Pujols.. Maybe Braun is "that guy" who comes along every 6-7 years... :shrugs: Check Braun's R/L splits. He can't put up an 1.800 OPS(not a typo) against LHP forever. Once that returns to even very, very good levels he'll be a sub-.900 OPS guy.

    i think that was carp's tommy john surgery You should've seen the Post Dispatch earlier this week. Big article on how the 7 games against the Cubs and Brewers was their chance to get back into it. A last hurrah, if you will. I thought it was amusing.
  13. Transmogrified Tiger
    Honestly, just walk Braun v. LHP already.
  14. Transmogrified Tiger
    No errors thus far, and according to a Road to Wrigley report he made several outstanding defensive plays(shoestring sliding catch, threw out runner at 3rd from foul territory) one game they saw him play.
  15. Transmogrified Tiger
    Only if we're allowed to genetically merge him with Jones to create Juacque Encajones(pronounced wok en-cajones). Encarnacion isn't worth it.
  16. Transmogrified Tiger
    Depends on how well you think Gallagher could do in Marshall's spot. Almost .200 OPS points is a MASSIVE improvement. We can't just look past that fact. I understand that...but is it worth the gamble that you'd be taking in putting a completely untested rookie pitcher into the rotation? I say no. But I understand both sides. Assuming you think the Cubs still have a good shot at the playoffs with a Gallagher starting the rest of the way, you also have to take into account that in the playoffs, Marshall probably doesn't see much, if any, time, while Griffey can very well have a significant impact. This is a good point on trading from the rotation to upgrade the offense, but in that case I'd like to see someone with a good long term future brought in return(i.e. Dunn, Teixeira instead of Griffey or Dye).
  17. Transmogrified Tiger
    Happened yesterday, Dunn is on a plane to St. Louis. But really, Bruce says no.
  18. Transmogrified Tiger
    This has potential.
  19. Transmogrified Tiger
    I didn't look at any others, but Dempster's looks fine. 1 K in 2.0 IP = .5K/IP or 4.5/9IP After looking at it a bit further, it's just the difference in decimal places where you round off partial IPs. Looks like the database is using .333 or something longer than .3 for thirds of an inning. My mistake.
  20. Transmogrified Tiger
    His name just showed up on the I-Cubs roster, so I think we have a winner. I assume he'll be replacing Nelson at 3rd? Simokaitis is listed on Iowa's roster as well. Replacing Rojas at SS? Nice. It's not like the I-Cubs need anymore help offensively lol. I'm assuming Craig will take over at 1B and let Kroeger go back to the OF. Moore is back to play 3B. How would you like to pitch to 1B Craig .931 2B Patterson .855 3B Moore .890 OF Pie 1.017 OF Murton .979 OF Kroeger .938 C Soto 1.017 And Craig's numbers are from the SL where OPS averages about .050 less than PCL And Cedeno's .900+ OPS at SS just got promoted. Staggering.
  21. Transmogrified Tiger
    If you don't get it back, I suggest trying a William Hung/Mike Ditka.
  22. Transmogrified Tiger
    Hey Fred, I think there's an error in how your database is calculating K/9.
  23. Transmogrified Tiger
    I will be attending this game. Please win, stupids.
  24. Transmogrified Tiger
    I think the point is that it's a lousy division if .500 gets you to first place, I'm pretty sure it wasn't a commentary about the talent level. I guess if 500 is you gauge and your only talking win and loss % then thats great talk, I thought this was forum to talk about future major leaguers and not win/loss % ? It was a throwaway comment when talking about the standings in the NWL, not intended to be any type of analysis on the players involved(although Truffle can correct me if I'm wrong).
  25. Transmogrified Tiger
    You honestly think he's not going to bounce back? Someone else broke their wrist and had a poor power year the following year only to return the year after (I can't remember who it was right now). I don't think you can guarantee it will come back in the slightest. Considering all his other abilities it's not making him some sort of drag on the payroll or team, but if we're moving him to the OF(and negating one of the aforementioned other abilities), then it might be time to re-evaluate.
