    What's Kuroda's stuff like? Does Saito have a really good curve or change?
  2. Transmogrified Tiger
    No joke. Wiiiiide zone
  3. Transmogrified Tiger
    wow. i thought we had stopped calling players "bums" when farnsworth was traded? or was that headcase? It was gutless choking dog.
  4. Transmogrified Tiger
    Not bad, but seeing as the Marlins probably aren't forgetting what we were willing to give up for Pierre, I think they'd at least want someone like Guzman to make it a trio. imo it's going to take more than willis and eyre. imo, Willis would be enough for the Yankees. Not that I wouldn't throw in Eyre just for a little salary relief. Yeah, the problem with that deal is the Marlins trading Willis for Gallagher + Ryu.

    One percent? That's kinda silly unless Carroll has amazingly good sources. We're not even into the offseason. Will Carroll on injuries = very very good Will Carroll on transactions = very very bad
  6. Transmogrified Tiger
    Overrated Overpaid, but a very good hitter.
  7. Transmogrified Tiger
    Everyone hear what happened to Cech? Ouch.
  8. Transmogrified Tiger
    Sign me up for bringing Burrell over here.

    Yeah, it just says that he got a second opinion other than O'Neal. It's a good thing. Unless you know O'neal's medical abckground then you are pretty unqualified to make that statement. I know Mark, Mark did some work on me a while back. He is a ifne trainer. O'Neal has constantly misdiagnosed our pitchers the past couple years. And even if that is ignored, he went to see Andrews, who's widely regarded as the best around.

    I'd also like to know this. Do they count the people that tune in for only a part of the game? For example, I know I usually couldn't make it past the 3rd inning this year. Nielsen measures ratings by having people fill out diaries of what they watched, and also by installing meters in some houses that gather the info, with the person's permission of course. They take this sample and extrapolate it out to get their data. Many TV people really, really hate the Nielsen ratings.

    I wonder what constitutes a Piniella guy. Lugo? Eduardo Perez? Geoff Blum? Cameron? Cirillo? Rich Amaral

    Eyre was mediocre last year. Keeping him for insurance purposes when you can call up Novoa to strike out a bunch of guys and put up a 1.5 WHIP doesn't make sense. Eyre was out of shape this year. He still brings alot of value to the Cubs. Well if you're counting on him to rebound then, that's something else entirely. If he gets in shape and pitches real well then it doesn't really matter if Wood is healthy or not in deciding whether we should keep Eyre.

    Why would the Yankees trade a 23yr old 2b that hit .342? Cano wont be traded. I think he was saying that if A-Rod gets traded, Cano might move to 3B, giving the Yankees a need for a 2B(hence Theriot being mentioned).
  17. Transmogrified Tiger
    Well, he claims he never said that. Well, he was also completely shocked by speculation he'd be a manager during the ALCS. Really? It seemed pretty clear everybody in the booth knew he had a job waiting for him. Maybe I have it confused with the report that he was going to be the new Yankee manager, but my point was that he dismissed comments about him managing while he was broadcasting when it was well known he was in the hunt for a job. This could very likely be the same situation given his history with A-Rod and A-Rod's perception in NY.

    Do you really believe this to be true? I can see micromanaging because that's what they believe in but to justify their salaries....I really don't think so. Okay, replace "justify their salaries" to "feel like they're doing work/doing their job".

    What are you basing this on? Lee got a fantatsic deal. Ramirez is well paid. The offer to Furcal was market value (nobody expected the Dodgers to crazy with their offer). Isn't that the point? That Hendry offers fair deals but doesn't go above and beyond with the big contracts he offers(Beltran and Furcal for example)? Sometimes that's good, sometimes it's not so good.
  20. Transmogrified Tiger
    So no mention on how he handles starters?

  22. Transmogrified Tiger
    Word. I think he burned bridges on his way out though, hard to see him coming back.
  23. Transmogrified Tiger
    Teahen from KC. They need pitching that doesn't cost anything, and Teahen is expendable with Gordon's arrival.
  24. Transmogrified Tiger
    Go get Durham, Jim. He's just like Curtis Granderson, only more veterany and stuff.
  25. Transmogrified Tiger
    Yes
