    Someone is going to get a steal with Byars.
  2. Transmogrified Tiger
    Please don't tell me we could've tied had Keller not screwed the pooch.
  3. Transmogrified Tiger
    Do the Blazers feel sorry for the Knicks or something? Why in the world would they do that?
  4. Transmogrified Tiger
    I really like that pick for the Hawks. Law, Smith, Johnson, Horford, Pachulia doesn't look too bad.
  5. Transmogrified Tiger
    Stephen A Smith talking faster than that kid from the Iron Giant when he got hopped up on coffee.
  6. Transmogrified Tiger
    Jimmy doesn't like Ryno either. Jimmy thinks he was overrated.

    My team plays in a real league that doesn't use the DH. Pujols Utley Cabrera Santana Peavy

    oh for crying out loud....did you even read the article. Yes, absolutely. He makes a point to note that the Cubs waited until Barret's value was at his lowest to trade him, which is completely a hindsight argument. In the offseason, when his value was high, there was no need or desire to trade him. Trading him at his highest value wasn't in anyone's thoughts. So its a nonsensical argument. That's true only if you assume it's impossible for Barrett's value to go up ever again.

    Sacrificing offense for defense has been one thing that Piniella has been (rightly) willing to do for the most part. I don't think the difference between Burrell and your average RF defender is much. He's one of the worst defensive LF's in the game. That said, the easy solution is to move Soriano to RF.
  10. Transmogrified Tiger
    No, he doesn't. He doesn't have near the reputation, and he doesn't have a position to be eligible at.
  11. Transmogrified Tiger
    haha Brewers

    According to a THT writer, it's everyone's favorite lightning rod, DePo. Link The article isn't flawless, it certainly gives DePo the benefit of the doubt from hindsight, and it curiously says that Choi went "back" to Japan, but I found it an interesting read.

    Players make a large portion of the pitcher voting, right? Anyone who's faced Z in the last month or so is probably thinking he's an All-Star.
  14. Transmogrified Tiger
    We got him from Baltimore for Sosa.
  15. Transmogrified Tiger
    Wright had an RBI double in the first, Rundle with an RBI single in the 2nd.

    Theriot is beter on the basepaths, but I've heard that Fontenot is the superior feilder. I don't think you heard correctly.
  18. Transmogrified Tiger
    Damien Miller goes 3 for 5 with the walkoff HR, he had a .571 OPS going into the game. wtg Astros
  19. Transmogrified Tiger
    He's bona fide, what are you?
  20. Transmogrified Tiger
    Billy Petrick. ML debut time! Outstanding. Looks like it's that time of the month when Lou actually puts the correct relief pitcher in at the right time.
  21. Transmogrified Tiger
    Who's up in the pen?
  22. Transmogrified Tiger
    There are conflicting reports. Hendry's own comments ommit any involvement of Zell, and it seems unlikely that the owner of the Trib would personally reject a trade over a matter of a few million dollars. I could envision a scenario where Zell told McDonough and Hendry, "Sure, do the deal. But then don't expect me to approve any deadline aquisitions. You have an allowance and you will have spent it." That doesn't make sense though. The proposed deal doesn't add any money. Loses 600k actually.
  23. Transmogrified Tiger
    65 total, 39 in the 3 innings since the first.
  24. Transmogrified Tiger
    Well, he threw 26 in the first. Hopefully he stays economical the next couple innings and gets thru 7.

    Just to play a little devil's advocate (because I do like Walt Jocketty as a GM), don't the Cubs just have better talent because they suck and get high draft picks every year? So arguably there's less development necessary? I wouldn't say so for a couple reasons. One, relating specifically to the Cubs, a large majority of their prospect successes have been international players(of note: the Cards don't really spend on Internationals, at least not like the Cubs), who require more development than any acquisition. Also, I don't think the teams' level of Major League success determines the level of talent in the system that much. For starters the Cubs and Cards haven't been that far apart record wise(in other words, the Cubs aren't the Pirates), and also when you look at the top systems(Arizona, both LA teams, Atlanta, Minnesota, etc.) you see several franchises that have had a lot of success, some of which has been sustained for several years. In conclusion, I like parentheses.
