Payton is 34, has never been good at getting on base, cannot hit right handed pitching, and isn't anything special defensively in CF. I'd much rather play Pie. -
Trot Nixon
Transmogrified Tiger replied to Bruce Miles's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
That doesn't make any sense. -
I think the lettering looks really cool, but it doesn't go well with the front.
-
This isn't really surprising. Both he and McCoy are freshman and with Mack Brown choosing McCoy combined with McCoy playing well, Snead realized he wasn't going to play. Should be interesting to see where he transfers to. Oklahoma where the wind comes sweeping down the plains You already took Nichol, where does the greed end?

Explain who is playing left field and I might be sold on this offseason plan. Floyd and Murton works for me. Ack, just Murton. Soriano Covelli/Murton Lee Ramirez Barrett Murton/DeRosa Lugo/Covelli DeRosa/Lugo
-
Willis is available in a trade. Petitte is still out there. For cost/performance, I'll still take Lilly.
-
Jones for Jennings Sign Lugo and Schmidt Izturis for Crisp Soriano Covelli Lee Ramirez Barrett DeRosa Lugo Z, Schmidt, Jennings, Hill, Miller/Prior

wowowowow, that was awesome To answer a couple questions, Mizzou's talent isn't THAT low. The team is composed of quite a few top 100 guys, Snyder was always able to recruit but not coach. And yes, I think they're capable of beating U of I, although I would probably be surprised to see it happen. If they continue to shoot this well from beyond the arc(Matt Lawrence is a golden god) they're going to beat a lot of teams.

The Pac 10 was arguably the best conference in the nation this year. :lol:

Pujols: MVPs should be from playoff teams
Transmogrified Tiger replied to Laura's topic in General Baseball Talk
He did? http://www.baseball-reference.com/b/bondsba01.shtml http://www.baseball-reference.com/p/pujolal01.shtml .341/.529/.749, 231 OPS+ .359/.439/.667, 189 OPS+ Yes he did, and it wasn't even close. -
Why is Joe Crede so overrated?
Transmogrified Tiger replied to Magnetic Curses's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Ensberg loves him some Minute Maid Park. Is he really much better than Crede away from it? -
Does a guy like Ryu (or most of the young guys actually) even have at least a 30% chance of giving the team an ERA under 5.00 next year? Batista will almost certainly do that-his 2 highest ERA years in the last 6 have been 4.80 and 4.58. Batista would be a certain upgrade from most of the young starters simply because he is going to be reliably average, while people like Ryu would be wonderful if they were average next year, but they are most likely going to be terrible. As a starter Batista is giving up a WHIP over 1.50, he's walking almost as many as he strikes out(combining poor walk and strikeout rates), giving up an OPS around .780 with an OBP over .355, and he'll be 36 before the season starts. We're much better off giving just about any of our young pitchers an extended look, because his ERA will catch up with those peripherals in a hurry.
-
I'm pretty sure I'd rather give Ryu a rotation spot than Batista.
-
did a ksu player punch someone tonight? edit: yes. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2ZuIXI1VgM let the huggins era begin. Colon's a freshman too, that should mean Huggins brought him in. Wow.

Pujols: MVPs should be from playoff teams
Transmogrified Tiger replied to Laura's topic in General Baseball Talk
Saying that the MVP should come from a playoff team means something different in the Dominican. -
At least UNM and Cal are pretty solid teams. Looks like it'll be almost Christmas before you get another chance to see what they're made of, though.
-
Picking from that selection, I'll take Padilla + Westbrook.

Mock Headline #2
Transmogrified Tiger replied to HoopsCubs's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
By the end of the offseason, Jones could definitely have some value considering his contract in this market, and he had a career year too. Especially if some team gets shut out from making offensive upgrades. Unfortunately, the one GM who is just ga-ga for overvaluing player's break out 06 seasons is the one and only Jim Hendry. Bill Stoneman says hi. I don't think anyone will top the GMJ signing. Sabean & Juan Pierre You mean Colletti and Pierre. -

Transmogrified Tiger replied to Magnetic Curses's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Wow, I did not realize how terrible he was at getting on base. he set a career high this year with a .323 OBP? That's garbage. -
OSU is a POT, they're going to win if they keep making threes at this pace.
-
No, not really. I think his arm will be fine since he hardly throws any breaking balls, and he kept the ball down last year. He strikes me as a good pitcher - not the kind of guy who falls apart when he loses a tick or two off his fastball. Well it should. A decrease in velocity and the decreasing length of a pitchers stride are two of the biggest keys to a shoulder injury. How many Schmidt starts did you see last season? The ones he made against the Cubs. Not to mention the video anyalsis I have on him from a pitching program. So, two of his 32 then.

Reasons? Far better for non-gaming purposes, better visually, already established compared to the wii, and I personally don't think the wii is going to age well as a console. What does the 360 have that the Wii won't have for non-gaming purposes (besides DVD playback, which there are rumors that the Wii will have an update that will allow that next year)? The 360 is much better suited to be a media hub(hard drive, online store), mostly due to it being Microsoft and its Windows media integration.
