  1. Shouldn't Marshall be back by the time that spot comes up in the rotation again?
  2. Tex since the All-Star break: .316/.462/.671/1.133 He's also an excellent defensive 1B(The Fielding Bible has him easily the best in baseball over the past 3 years, although I'm not sold on the methodology used for first basemen). If Tex couldn't handle LF, I bet Lee could.
  3. 21 isn't all that young for High A either.
  4. Baseball reference says it was straight up, here's what BA has to say: "Oakland answered any doubts as to whether it would hold 'em or fold 'em on Wednesday when it picked up outfielder Jermaine Dye from the Royals in a three-team trade. Kansas City received shortstop Neifi Perez from the Rockies, who got minor leaguers Jose Ortiz, Mario Encarnacion and Todd Belitz from the A's."
  5. That's normal for a pre-free agency extension of this length. It's similar to what he would've gotten if he wouldn't have signed the extension.
  6. Z will be arbitration eligible(and therefore under our control) after this season. He'll be a Free Agent after 2007.
  7. Significantly better hitters that require more exertion to get out.
  8. That's what happens when you dominate the Cards.
  9. I don't know how it's broken down, but Wright would've been a renewal next year, arbitration eligible in '08-'10, and obviously a FA in '11 and '12.
  10. If you ask me Murton can put up the same kind of numbers Catalanotto can. They are very similar players. Both players will have a high OBP, hit around .300, and they both will hit for the same kind of power numbers. Why not let Murton have the LF job? Dosent make sense to sign a player the Cubs already have. Because in all likelihood he won't put up numbers as good as Catalanotto. EDIT: Furthermore, getting that production virtually guaranteed (while Murton is more likely to vary) also goes a long way in building the rest of the line. So in other words you prefer established veterans to giving the kids a shot? Interesting. Not quite. I'd rather let Pie be a cost effective option with potential for improvement than Murton, especially since Pie plays a position where less offense is needed. I'd love to see what Murton can do, but Hendry's previous misadventures have made that impossible if we want a capable offense.
  11. You know, it might be okay if Wuertz pitched later than the 7th inning...
  12. He actually walks a good bit for someone who swings and misses as much as he does. Career IsoD around .060
  13. Haha, you could see Bautista freeze then just follow it all the way down the middle.
  14. He hits a lot of line drives. Hopefully his BABIP will follow as he enters his prime years.
  15. an enormous THANK YOU to the people booing the wave.
