    Because he wasn't responding to best first half, he was responding to who was the best SP at each level So then why ignore part of Atkins' performance at that level, especially considering how both pitchers were trending.
  2. Transmogrified Tiger
    I understand Nate's argument, though. At the time of Veal's promotion, he and Atkins were similarly rated. Veal and Atkins both had their upsides at the time...but Atkins is a year younger. Things are different since then, but at the time, Nate's got a good argument. Regarding my choice, I was evaluating performance more than anything else, though. But why use the "at the time" argument when we're talking about the entire season to date?

    Cut for Cap Space selects Joseph Addai, RB, Indianapolis

    Nothings really "great" about him, but he does have the ability to get on base and hit for power that would be nice to see on this team. Interestingly, both this year and last hes had horrendous Mays that have really hurt his #s. The astros may be able to use Nevin to platoon with Lamb. Nevin alone wont get Lane, but there might be a match. He has a .330 OBP this year, .328 for his career. That's not very good at all for a corner OF, this year it would be 19th of 22 RFs or 17th of 20 LFs if he had the at bats to qualify. He'll be 30 in December and isn't hitting for any power this year. We could do much better than Lane, I'm not even sure he's appreciably better than Murton.

    How do you figure? um lets see. 1. More wins doesn't matter 2. lower era incorrect 3. less walks 4. less hits allowed incorrect 5. lewss homers allowed incorrect 6. more ground ball outs 7. more team wins in his starts doesn't matter 8. much more consistent is that enough or should i keep going for you? Veal gave up fewer runs and baserunners, and struck out many more. He walked more, but his K/BB ratio was better too. You can see the numbers here. apparently i should have qualified my answer with WHEN VEAL LEFT.....or maybe you have seen all their starts this season....? When you are trying to figure who was best in the entire first half, why randomly cut off Atkins' numbers? We're already ignoring that Veal went to the next level and didn't give up a run for 20 IP(or whatever it was). There's no point in disregarding Atkins' performance after Veal was promoted.

    What's so great about Lane?

    Please don't use such strong language.
  9. Transmogrified Tiger
    How did Dubois make the All Star team with a .253 AVG and .309 OBP? Well he deposits a single to LF nonetheless.

    Soto takes a walk off of Royce Ring.
  11. Transmogrified Tiger
    Why didn't you pick the keeper option in the league settings?
  12. Transmogrified Tiger
    Yes

    Zidane is a hero. http://www.hostmypiconline.com/images/!image00w.gif Or maybe not. http://img204.imageshack.us/img204/2181/headbutt7zl.gif

    What he said. To me this is reason 1, 2, 3, and 4. Especially if he feels his job is at stake he could be even worse in that aspect.
  15. Transmogrified Tiger
    How do you figure?
  16. Transmogrified Tiger
    I'm a big proponent of trading for Burrell.
  17. Transmogrified Tiger
    Or the Rams as the best offense of all time.
  18. Transmogrified Tiger
    I think it would be okay to be aggressive in this case.

    TT, how do you feel about the idea of signing CLee for LF and platooning MM and JJ in RF? Not a huge fan of Lee. Not great at avoiding outs, and he's going to get an outrageous amount of money. Murton/Jones in LEFT field would be okay I guess, but I'd still want/need someone along the lines of Abreu(or the like) at the other corner.
  22. Transmogrified Tiger
    Murton should be playing everyday now, but we should definitely look to improve at LF in '07. There's little indication his power will come around based on his track record, and he needs to hit for more power to be a suitable corner OF.
  23. Transmogrified Tiger
    Disagree. How many less of their 26 championships would the Yankees have if they didn't have the highest payroll year after year. I would guess it would be quite a few. It's not a coincidence that the next highest # of WS championships is like 9. Increasing the payroll doesn't guarantee a WS but it does increase your margin for error and with the right GM can help teams remain competitive year after year like the Yankeees and Red Sox. How many of the 26 World Series have the Yankees won with the highest payroll? Obviously you're right that the higher payroll increases flexibility and margin for error, but I think as it pertains to the Cubs we're in more need of better decisions with the money than more money itself, though both are plenty useful.
  24. Transmogrified Tiger
    Because as of now Jones is producing pretty well for the contract. Sanders is their current RF who'll be gone after the year, and they don't really have anyone coming through that would be able to fill that role either. And again, Moore falls on the tools side of the spectrum so he may value Jones a little more than we think. Or maybe not. On the proposal for DeJesus, I made it my intention that I'd rather overshoot for the price than undersell it. Didn't put a ton of research into it, but thought it would be a decent starting point for discussion. If Pie and Marshall does it, sign me up.
  25. Transmogrified Tiger
    DeJesus makes Pie expendable. While Pie has the potential to hit for enough power to be a corner OF, we can only hope he will be able to be what DeJesus is now. DeJesus is a relatively inexpensive cornerstone to the Royals rebuilding effort, Pie plus more would definitely be necessary to get him, unless Dayton really really likes Shane Costa.
