    If he starts at 1B for the next few weeks before Lee comes back, and Walker moves to 2B, his ability to hit home runs alone should be at least a small improvement over Neifi, Hairston, Bynum, Mabry, etc.

    Maybe he just needed a change of scenery... Oh wait, he already tried the "change of scenery" card. Nevin had a pretty solid April but has been absolutely awful in May. EDIT: Does this mean Bynum is a goner? Or Hairston maybe?

    If the biting incident is true, it would not be the first time for Cora. Hawk and DJ were talking about their favorite baseball fights and one of them mentioned a time when Cora was a player. Cora was found at the bottom of the pile biting someones ankle (I forget who the recipient of the bite was.) I think Joey Cora has a problem keeping his teeth to himself.

    Nothing has come up yet on Google news our Yahoo news. I'm going to wait and see, but for now I just don't see this being true. The infatuation with [bad] second basemen has to end somewhere...right?

    With Wood returning tomorrow and a possible addition of Tony Womack, I'm psyched! We're recapturing the magic of 2003. Are Troy O'Leary and Dave Veres available?

    That highlight reel misrepresents the Cubs as a team with power. Unfortunately, there weren't too many home runs besides the ones in that sequence.

    A quality start is achieved when a pitcher goes at least 6 innings, giving up 3 or fewer runs.

    I was with some Philly fans this weekend and man, have they given up on that team. They are truly sick of it, and want to blow the whole thing up. And I think ownership is sensitive to the lack of interest in the team now. I think Burrell or Abreu could be had. Why is this the case? They are only 6 games back, and it is early. They seem like they could just as soon be buyers as they can be sellers. As they stand, they aren't a real playoff threat, but they have a solid lineup. They seem too close to just tear the team apart. But, if it can benefit the Cubs, I can handle their mentality.

    So...it's nice to see that 100% of the current rotation is a product of the farm system. :D

    I think at this stage you have to bring up guys like Glavine, Smoltz and even Wells or Mussina. I thought about Glavine, but with regards to Smoltz, it is hard to compare him to the rest because he spent 4 seasons in the bullpen. Although they were successful, was he not originally put in the bullpen because of longevity/injury concerns? Would that put him in the same boat that Pedro is in? Also, how do his stats as a reliever stack up against starting pitching statistics? At the same time, though, Schilling took a long time to launch his career as a starter and it wasn't until his late 20's that he became an elite starting pitcher. After looking closer at the stats, they are comparable, but Glavine has started his entire career and been the healthiest of the three over the last 20 years. He also has the most wins out of the group.

    So does that leave Schilling as a definite #5? I don't think anyone would argue that he was better than one of those top 4 pitchers, but outside of them, I don't think there was anyone better than Schilling and I thought his name deserved mention in this thread.

    That leaves the Sox with only one LHP in the bullpen now, though. Filled one hole, but created another. But Mackowiak is a good player and I'm sure finding a second lefty option won't be hard.

    Well, Murph's on now. I'm sure he'll have some intelligent insight on what's going on... :lol: Well, at least we know he was ok with trading "Dontrelle Willis for Derrek Lee."

    I guess this is the first deal in which Dave Littlefield has taken advantage of the payroll increase he was granted. This is at least a step in the right direction for the Pirates' offense. I do agree that it's weird to see the Pirates do anything that does not involve shedding payroll.

    Has there been any steroid suspicion surrounding Thome? It seemed to be popular to go down that road when a big slugger sustained an injury last season. Was there any talk that Thome's injuries were related to steroid use?
