Baseball executives are infallible. -
It will probably never happen, but I think the whites would look awesome without pinstripes. That way you can make them look old school and current at the same time(the Giants are an okay example of this). You'd need to add some accent blue probably(end of the sleeves, on the edges of the button-up flap), but I think it would look pretty awesome.

Marcus Giles arrested at Chargers game
Transmogrified Tiger replied to Post Count Padder's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
The new Dugout is about this, and they incorporate the Youngs strangling the lady cop again. Brilliant. -
Man, I would've offered twice that to ensure he'd sign here for less than a starting role. Schuerholz is very very good at his job.

That's like saying it's insane to lock up Gotti. Murders and racketeering aside, that guy still knew how to make money! Are you really serious? Are you really serious? So I used an extreme example. The point still holds. How can anyone simply brush aside Bonds' obvious drug cheating just for the fact that he can eek out a few more years of performance? Is that what we're reduced to now? Just a bunch of number crunchers, ogling players for their production only, the devil be damned if they even care about having an ounce of integrity? So we should be like the Rockies then?

I don't believe it's reasonable to believe that a player will improve upon his past season minor league numbers in his first season of professional baseball. Pie's OPS by month: .862, .676, .630, .771, .930, 1.389 Well, if he goes .676 .630 in 2 consecutive months and the Cubs are losing ground, will Lou "let him play through it"? Don't get me wrong, I'm all for giving young guys their shot, but I don't think the timing is right this year. You're missing the point. Pie's shown the ability to make adjustments in the past, and last year was no exception. By the end of the year he was better than his .792 OPS indicated.

Perhaps I haven't seen Gonzalez pitch enough, but I just don't get this trade from Atlanta's perspective. The Braves probably could have gotten Ohman, Cotts or Eyre for far less than LaRoche. Gonzalez is legit, better than anything we have. LaRoche is still a stiff price to pay for him though, even if he is their long term solution at closer.
-
LaRoche put up a near .800 OPS (.797 to be exact) against LHP last year. That's fine when you're hitting .950 against RHP. Using career numbers for LaRoche considering he's 27 and has progressed upwards and last year was the first year he got more than a handful of ABs against LHP is very misleading.
-
You're comparing different arbitration years. Lilly made 3.1 million as part of a 2 year, 5M deal in his 2nd arbitration year, which is what Prior is in right now.

Elijah Dukes in trouble again

I wasn't around when Corey left so please don't automatically assume I thought the same about Corey. I never said anything about your opinions on Corey. However, the ridiculous guesses about the player's personality, right down to the "I can see it in his eyes", is the exact same that some people said about Patterson.
-
I guess we can officially say that Prior has replaced Patterson now, as far as ridiculous guesses to their personal character go.
-
This is a hollow argument. No one was complaining when Prior was making only 3 mil in '03 when he put up amazing numbers. No one said anything when Zambrano was awesome in his pre arbitration years. This is how it works, it has nothing to do with greedy athletes or Prior "earning it" or whatever.

Sosa hit LHP very well in '05, to the tune of .288/.370/.471/.841

This. I don't want to say it, but I sorta feel like people that are fans of teams from all over the place aren't really... as good fans as those that are from the hometown team. I get into this hometown thing really strongly. Conciously thinking about it, I know that people are big fans even when they aren't from a certain place, but it just doesn't feel right to me. I don't want to disrespect anyone, but thats how I feel. EDIT: I don't want people coming in here to defend their fandom, because I know you guys are true fans. But it still don't feel right. Not everyone lives in the same area their whole life, and not everyone has the same amount of interest/passion for different sports.

Interesting scouting report on Colvin
Transmogrified Tiger replied to mg420's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
Sam Fuld: .300/.378/.422/.800 in 89 games at Daytona. He turned 25 in November. -

Why are you doing this to me Mizzou? Why couldn't you have just gotten drilled so I didn't have a chance to get my hopes up? Kansas leads by 1 at the half.
-
First base and Catcher are the two hardest positions to accurately assess defensively. Dewan's methodology for 1B leaves a lot to be desired. That's not to say that he's wrong about Pujols, but just to throw it out there.
-
Only way we have a chance to win is if Brown or Hannah decide to pretend to be Thomas Gardner from last year's game.
-
That would make sense, but you don't need a sophisticated rating system to tell that Giambi-Morneau are 1-2 in AL 1B offense. This is just as good.
-
A worthless one.
