Some Pujols Thoughts
Transmogrified Tiger replied to CivilCardinalsFan's topic in General Baseball Talk
So Pujols has been on HGH since he came into professional baseball in 2000? You're really making yourself look bad with this crusade against Pujols. -
Nevin to the Cubs
Transmogrified Tiger replied to jam1975's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
To be fair, Levine reported this morning that Hendry continues to work the phones with other GMs. I think your comment is a bit speculative. I don't think Hendry's going to rest on his laurels after this deal, but Nevin's presence could be prohibitive to deals that could improve the team now and more importantly in the future(trading for Wilson is the textbook example). This is another reason why Restovich should've gotten a shot. He may have been marginally worse at the role than Nevin, but his presence on the roster isn't going to prevent real improvements from being made. Nevin is basically a poor man's Craig Wilson. I don't see how the Cubs could use two players who are so similar. Wilson can hit RHP too, and has value beyond simply being a platoon 1B/OF, it's exactly the point. -
Reading his yahoo.com articles, I'm not sure I want him coaching. Really? What's he written that you wouldn't like? (I haven't read them, just curious) Pretty much all of them. Some of them have been covered by FJM.

Lofton has started hitting a crazy amount of line drives at the end of his career, it's bizarre.

Not well. Compared to the average CF or JP? Probably either.
-
sorry Tiger, but I hardly fault Jones for that one. he ran, didnt taunt, just raised his finger (#1 style) in celebration It doesn't matter to me if it's taunting or celebration, you look stupid celebrating a home run that doesn't even give you the lead.

I vote bestest.

Yay for teh patented Dusty Baker "rally killing" bunt. Lets all root for bad strategic moves. The bunt's the smart move there. Lets waste outs! Don't be dense. It's late in a one run game, with a terrible hitter up and a singles hitter who has 2 hits on the day on deck. Absolutely you bunt there.

1 run game in the 8th inning with a guy who's having a good day, yet is highly unlikely to hit for extra bases, on deck.

Screw you Freddy

don't screw up the bunt Bynum

Put your finger down and run around the bases Jacque. We're still losing at home to the reds.

Pierre up to a .588 OPS! I keep tellin ya, he'll be up to .600 before you know it!

STOP BUNTING ON THE SECOND HITTER OF THE GAME
-
Ground ball towards 1st/2nd pitcher goes towards 1st. Once he saw that the play was contained he should have gone to third. That ball was up the middle. He's got to know the shift is on and head to third since there's no way he would be going to first where that ball was hit.
-
Len said they gave Cedeno two errors.
-
Where is Zambrano on that play?
-
You are so wrong on this point alone, that it is not worth discussing this with you. Whoever you want to place the blame on for Corey's 05 output (Corey himself, Dusty, Sarge, Hendry, minor league coaches), there's no denying that his season in 05 was as bad as you'd see out of Neifi. He wasn't a "bum," but he wasn't much better than average either. (Edited a potential semantics nightmare) "Patterson in Chicago" refers to more than '05 to me.

Nevin to the Cubs
Transmogrified Tiger replied to jam1975's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
AB per position per baseball-reference.com 3B 483 1B 305 C 108 DH 65 LF 54 RF 38 OF 27 I'm assuming that you meant games per position? Nevin's caught 2 games since 1999. -
Nevin to the Cubs
Transmogrified Tiger replied to jam1975's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
For the record, Nevin has played 1 inning at 3rd base since 2002, and 25 games in the outfield since 1999. -
Not well.

Rich Hill Brian Dopirak Grant Johnson One of the three.
