    If it were harder, then we'd probably see marked differences in performance when players go from one to the other.
  2. Transmogrified Tiger
    That's the kicker with the "get a good, but not great starter" idea, it's likely to be a marginal improvement at best.
  3. Transmogrified Tiger
    Which would make sense, because after September 1, there isn't really an active 25 man roster.

    The thing that upsets me about the new clock rules is the inconsistency. If you punt the ball out of bounds, then the clock still starts up when the offense takes the field. Completely contrary to all other situations. I don't have a problem with it on returned punts/kickoffs/interceptions/fumble recoveries, or even fair catches. But when the ball goes out of bounds, the clock stops, it's a simple concept.

    More walks than K's and a WHIP over 1.5 42 bb & 47 k's?? http://www.baseballprospectus.com/dt/welleto01.shtml I was looking at his numbers just as a Royal.

    What makes Pierre's hot streak a sign of things to come and his stretch of terrible play the aberration? What makes what he's doing sustainable? It appears to me he's not doing anything differently, just a hot streak where he hits for a higher average. That's what happens to players like Pierre, their value is so tied to average that they are prone to extreme swings in either direction. Pierre has shown with his total performance through his career that he's going to be poor offensively on the whole.

    There's an extensive thread two topics down.

    to the decade or Pierre's numbers? A year or 2 off the right decade, and about 60 points of slugging off the numbers also. He was within the last 10 years, that's how I took decade. Also, it's about 30 points of slugging with a slight OBP advantage. I'd like to see how the OPS+ works out before saying one way or the other.

    Lance Johnson was pretty close too.

    whats wrong with keeping pierre? with his resurgence he can be a .750 (he's already at .727 even with his horrible first few months) ops guy next year. he plays great defense (aside from the noodle arm) and will have 50 steals this year. i dont see any way that they dont try to resign him. i believe the cubs have already said that they see pie as a #5 or 6 hitter anyway rather than a leadoff guy (i think it was oneri?). i think he will be switched to rf in iowa next year. if he takes off in 07 in aaa, they can always trade jones & bring pie up. Keeping Pierre in CF and putting Pie in RF are both disastrous ideas for an already poor offense.

    I didn't realize the Murray State mascot cleaned up so well.
  14. Transmogrified Tiger
    I guess there's reasons why this is a good thing, but imo they're overshadowed by the several terrible decisions that this portends(making Pie a leadoff hitter, keeping Pierre, not doing anything with Jones in RF, etc.)
  15. Transmogrified Tiger
    Right. How is he being "ruined?" Isn't he the best defensive 3rd baseman in the NL at this point? Are you serious? Maybe it's one of those Hendryisms. "Ramirez is the best defensive third baseman in the NL of guys who have less than 8 vowels in their full name and were born on a Sunday in an even numbered month."
  16. Transmogrified Tiger
    Your tireless efforts through the season have paid off. Kudos.

    Gameday you lying sack of crap, you said out(s) recorded and I got excited that we had taken over last place.
  21. Transmogrified Tiger
    http://www.news-journalonline.com/NewsJournalOnline/Sports/Headlines/sptCUBS01090506.htm and an article on the DCubs. Like a season in review type thing. Characterizing Marshall, Hill, and Marmol as "marginal" seems like a stretch. I thought the same thing. Maybe marginal means something different to Goldstein, but my idea of marginal arms is the Sergio Mitres of the world.
  22. Transmogrified Tiger
    Agreed on all fronts. I was going more for clarification than stating an opinion.
  23. Transmogrified Tiger
    I'd add Aramis and all the young starters(Marshall/Marmol/Hill/Guzman/Mateo) to your list to make mine. EDIT: Lee too.
  24. Transmogrified Tiger
    Hold on, Dempster's working on it.
  25. Transmogrified Tiger
    Ejected after he slammed his helmet to the ground after being thrown out on a groundball. Not sure if he was upset about the call or his performance.
