    Sean Marshall has very similar if not better numbers to Dontrelle Willis. Aramis has an .870 OPS in June. Barrett's OBP is .370. Cedeno's line outside of May: .300/~.329/.457/.786

    Considering he has started threads exactly like this after wins in every stage of the season, I don't think that's the case.
  3. Transmogrified Tiger
    That fastball that him in the face. It was intentional. Definitely sounds like attempted murder to me.
  4. Transmogrified Tiger
    He looks like someone else in sports. Keith Van Horn, maybe? He's a living caricature of an Englishman, that's what he is.
  5. Transmogrified Tiger
    Looks like Burnt is the only one not to pick keepers yet. Should we start talks about when to start the draft?

    They're my 2nd favorite team. Yes, we've already established you don't have a soul.

    I kinda live close to Royals fans.

    In terms of cable TV, is that even considered a curse? I mean obviously the whole deal about target audience and stuff, but considering that you can still hear it on TV during primetime...
  10. Transmogrified Tiger
    That's what the voting was last time I checked. Sure they weren't just talking about that?
  11. Transmogrified Tiger
    Pierre up to a .607 OPS! He's a hitting machine!
  12. Transmogrified Tiger
    Wow, Shannon Brown a lottery pick now in nbadraft.net's mock.
  13. Transmogrified Tiger
    This may be the most ridiculous thing you have ever said.

    Argue away the semantics, but both the trades you mentioned were head-scratchers at the time for most folks. We'll see if Tampa has really changed their steep price demands with a new GM. I'm not arguing "semantics", there is absolutely NO "absolute" in baseball. Even Albert Pujols can be traded. Highly unlikely, but still the possibility is there. And people are making Gomes out to be some kind of "savior" type hitter, which he is NOT. The suggestion that it would take a "Miguel Cabrera" type package to land Gomes, is downright LAUGHABLE. IMO, Gallagher and Guzman (talent wise) would be about right for Gomez, considering that lack of pitching, and the depth of OF prospects in the DRays system. With Gauthright/Dukes/Bankston (the KID has MONSTER power)/Young with Crawford and Baldelli, that's alot of talent. And, IMO, Gomes is NOT worth more then two very good prospects, which Gallagher and Guzman are. Guzman, is clearly as talented as Santana, or atleast has the stuff to rival Santana. Gallagher is SIMPLY going to win at the ML level, simply because he knows how to pitch. He's kind of a Mark Buehrle type pitcher, don't really have great stuff, but now how to used his stuff the best. Adding Guzman/Gallagher for Gomes makes more sense then trading Crawford for Santana. Call it semantics, which you would be clearly wrong, if you want, but the fact remains, Gomes is attainable for Gallagher/Guzman. I don't know how else to put it but that Guzman and Gallagher are not mini Santana and Buehrle respectively, and that there's no way the Devil Rays are trading their 900 OPS outfielder for them.

    Livan is an exception to the rule because he produces an ungodly amount of innings. You can carry one less relief pitcher if you wanted because he pitches so much. So an ERA of X over Y IP = 3 or 4 starter but an ERA of X over Y + 50 IP = 1 or 2 starter You're talking out of both sides of your mouth here.
  16. Transmogrified Tiger
    Isn't that a very similar ERA figure that you were saying makes Prior a 3 or 4 starter, but for Livan it makes him a 1 or 2?
  17. Transmogrified Tiger
    but if there are less games started there are less innings pitched then less pitches thrown. you don't think that less starts/more time to heal would be just as beneficial as less pitches/more outings? just curious. edit: also, this is just my opinion, but marmol has a better chance of success at a major league level than hill, though i too would like to see hill get a real chance over a sustained period of time in the show than those spot starts. a curveball and fastball alone isn't going to cut it. do you realistically see hill as a starter or reliever in the majors? I'll take lower pitch counts with more starts every day of the week. Marmol and Hill are at different stages in their careers. Marmol hasn't been pitching for all that long, and still has things to work on in lower levels. Hill is older, has been pitching longer, and has shown he has nothing left to gain from dominating AAA hitters. If we're throwing away the season I'd rather see Marmol continuing to develop in the minors while giving Hill a true shot to see if he will be a starter or a reliever at the big league level.

    Daniel Gibson went pro today! Viva CMA!
  19. Transmogrified Tiger
    I don't see the point. The thing that gets us in trouble isn't the days in between pitches, it's how many pitches are thrown in a single outing. Sure an extra day wouldn't hurt, but there's no way we're giving up the crutch/curse of a 7 man pen, and carrying 13 pitchers in the NL would be heinous. Also, Marmol should be replaced with Hill. Carlos needs more seasoning, and if we go to 6 men we better give Hill an extended shot to see if he can cut it.
  20. Transmogrified Tiger
    I still can't believe they called a foul. There was seriously no contact going on at all.
  21. Transmogrified Tiger
    Was Avery trying to say he had 2 timeouts left?
  22. Transmogrified Tiger
    If someone could show me how Wade was fouled there I'd really appreciate it.
  23. Transmogrified Tiger
    Dirk hits a slightly difficult shot
  24. Transmogrified Tiger
    can't root for anything involving Shaq. Why the Shaq Hate? You need an explanation?
  25. Transmogrified Tiger
    This game is at the Jake.
