  1. with baker gone next year and murton playing every day, i dont see why his slugging % wouldnt go up significantly from this year. he can easily be a .300+ 25 hr guy in 2007 imo. Because he's not that good. I didn't realize players peaked at 25. I see no reason that he can't improve, especially if Dusty's free swinging mentality leaves the clubhouse. There's very little in his past that suggests he's going to hit for any more power than he is now. Maybe he'll be able to maintain it without as heavy a platoon distribution, but it's not often college draftees start hitting for more power at the MLB level after not displaying it anywhere before.

  3. Trade Murton, play Pie playing both + having Izturis and maybe Cedeno cripples your offense. Felix will be better.

  5. I don't know how else to say it but this isn't remotely true.
  6. I agree that guys like Neifi and Izturis have value on teams that have the ability to score runs. However, playing much of the season without Izturis, the Cubs are the 4th best defensive team in MLB. Playing much of the season without Izturis, the Cubs are dead last in runs scored. Defense was not the problem with this roster. Instead of filling a hole, Hendry has created more holes for him to field. Hendry solved a problem that didn't exist. How did he create more holes with the Izturis trade? Because trading for Izturis moves Ronny to second. I'm not convinced that Ronny is guaranteed a starting job next year.
  7. I remember this one time, Neifi got traded to the Tigers.
  8. I'm gonna say trading Barrett for Wells is a bad idea. Similar players and one is about to get a ginormous contract.

  10. I don't remember that specifically, but Patterson leaping the GABP wall is up there too as far as recent catches go.
  11. Don't jerk me around, Norm If this is real it better happen.
  12. Aaron Brooks, QB, Oakland
  13. EPatt with a sac fly in his 3rd AB Pie now 1 for 4 with the 3B Ryu: 6 IP, 5 H, 0 R, 9/2
  14. Restovich is 3 for 3 with another triple :shock: Pie is now 1 for 3 with his triple Ryu with only 2 hits given up thru 3, no walks and 5 K's EDIT: And apparently old pal Eric Young is down at Oklahoma, as he got tossed by the home plate umpire in the first.
  15. Is something seriously wrong with Fontenot? and many hoorays for EPatt
  16. Mabry has been downright bad this year. Nevin might work coming off the bench, but as he ages his inability to be anything but a 1B would concern me, especially since we have a RH first baseman. And that suggested bench wouldn't be all that strong at all. It has 2 okay hitters in Jones/Murton and Nevin, one (relative) unknown in Pagan, and the rest are offensive black holes.
  17. That's payback for when Pujols hit that RBI single off Wuertz in April on a pitch he had no business hitting through the left side.
  18. Hmm.. well my Motorola phone isn't exactly firefox, since it's Internet explorer browser. I don't think that it will work that way. Is there anything like that addons that would work for internet explorer? Not to my knowledge. Well, that's a bummer for me then, since I relocated to Overland Park, and that my only source of internet connection is from my phone. It's a good phone and all, just really sucks when I want to reply to a certain topic/discussion, only to find out that it won't work on the reply post. That's pretty much why I'm not around here as much as I would had liked to be. Oh well, someday soon I'll be able to get the internet back on a computer, and all will be well. Aside from that, how well does the phone work for you internet-wise?
  19. He didn't. Dempster started by walking Edmonds. Ack, misread Gamecenter, thanks
