    Was it a good pitch? It's pretty sound philosophy to look to hammer the first pitch with the bases loaded, even with the previous hitter walking. On the general topic of Cedeno, the most important number to consider with him is 23. You put him at the bottom of the lineup for defense and cost effectiveness. If he doesn't show any signs of life offensively before he starts costing real money, then you look for a replacement(or sooner if you're able to fill other holes first). Otherwise, just leave him there and let him get AB's in the 8 slot.

    I was really hoping for another Baggio to emerge. Sucks for Trezeguet that he had the only missed PK by less than an inch.

    And once the end of spring training comes and you realize he can't play anywhere but first base anymore, what do you do until June 15 when you're allowed to trade him? He hadn't played more than half a season since 2003, and if he was healthy he probably would only be able to play where we had an MVP caliber player. There was plenty good reason not to pursue him after last season, and it's still valid considering the Cubs' injury troubles last year and considering Nomar hasn't shown an ability to play anywhere other than first(despite LA going to multiple options at 3B and LF).

    Number of innings played by Nomar at a position where we don't currently have Derrek Lee: 0

    wow, why did I think he was a FA? brb beating self with hammer

    Bill Hall is also a free agent after the season. Why we would want him considering that is beyond me though. Those were my thoughts as well. We can just sign Hall as a FA in the offseason. I'd ask for Hart or Gallardo. Then they might have to get in a bidding war with a team that needs a second basemen.....the Mets come to mind. Unless the Mets have a prospect coming up to play second that they want to use. Hall and his agent aren't stupid. There's little likelihood of him signing with the Cubs before testing free agency without a hefty contract. PS- Bill Hall is Alfonso Soriano without the hype. Interpret that how you will.

    Pie career prior to this year K'ed in 20% of his PA's. This year so far it's just under 22%, not a huge difference. He was never supposed to be a leadoff hitter.

    That 775 OPS between A+ and AA at almost age 26 doesn't quite do it for me. I'm fairly certain this is Braun's age 22 season. And I'd take anybody who's AVG and IsoP are ranked at around the 90th percentile, even if he isn't willing to take a walk. I'm pretty sure neither of those are near the 90th percentile this year. Edited to remove "fairly certain", I didn't even see you use that.

    That 775 OPS between A+ and AA at almost age 26 doesn't quite do it for me. How can Ryan Braun be 26?!? He was just drafted last year out of Miami. Wow, the Baseball Cube is really messed up. There's two Ryan Brauns, and they're both completely off.

    That improves my estimation of Shines.
  15. Transmogrified Tiger
    That way the Cubs are more likely to have home field advantage when they.....nevermind.

    The best part is that he criticized/doubted the Mets no more than a minute later because "What happens if Glavine and Pedro go down?". Excellent.

    Was that a song?
  19. Transmogrified Tiger
    PERSONAL PREFERENCE, THERE IS NO RIGHT ANSWER In the interests of full disclosure though, I've never heard a Megadeath song(at least knowingly), I simply voted for them because of the Thome line and the fact that there's no way they'll win.

    Correct.
  22. Transmogrified Tiger
    Ozzie's hate list now includes Trot Nixon, Raul Ibanez, Nick Swisher, Carl Crawford, Michael Cuddyer, and Jonny Gomes.
  23. Transmogrified Tiger
    He forgot how to throw the ball to the plate.
  24. Transmogrified Tiger
    Molina, Lind, and Thigpen for Barrett?
  25. Transmogrified Tiger
    Much like baseball, analysts who have no idea what they're talking about. Oh, and some people aren't happy with some of the PBP guys(O'Brien especially) because they haven't done much/any soccer before, and it shows.
