    Other than Rosenthal casually mentioning the possibility that the Cubs could go after Greene since the Pads want Murton, not really.
  2. David
    I heard we might get Alfonso Soriano, Jake Westbrook (or Ted Lilly), and Jackson Melian from the Yankees. That's like half their farm :shock: .
  3. David
    Touche.

    Hanley Ramirez disagrees I did use the word "if" Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Hanley's defense wipe out about 75% of his offensive wins, similar to Braun? While I don't know that to be true or untrue, they did say "offensive SS," FWIW.
  5. David
    In all seriousness, do you really believe this to be true? Also, I don't think anyone has ever argued that strikeouts are better for the offense than other outs. You're either misunderstanding someone or just totally mis-characterizing them. They are, however, just about the same as any other out when you factor in the fact that the potential for contact resulting in a sacrifice is counterbalanced by the (flat out rally destroying) potential for a double play.

    Hanley Ramirez disagrees I did use the word "if" Even if he did, Ramirez is still better.
  7. David
    I'd kill to add Hanley Ramirez to this team.
  8. David
    I think that's essentially what I was trying to do. :-s

    Not that this needs to be reiterated, but Greene has an .828 OPS over the last 3 years on the road (740 AB's), in case there's anyone else that needs to be sold on him. His OPS at home during that same span is .662 (719 AB's). Pretty drastic.

    Don't even bother getting into these arguments with wrigley23. He won't even respond to the points made against him, he'll just repeat himself over and over. I've wasted plenty of typing on it already.

    Does anyone else see a little bit of irony in this post?
  12. David
    Nice post, though.
  13. David
    It's no use, dude. Our fantasy skills are no match for the Cubs and their historically great decision makers.
  14. David
    You say it like it only happened once. I was actually thinking it happened twice, but then I thought that couldn't be right. :shock:
  15. David
    Then what's "bonzai?" :shock:
  16. David
    I don't know why I'm even gonna bother, but I can't help myself. A lot of "baseball people" aren't very intelligent minds and are only in baseball circles because they were good at playing it at some point in their lives and were able to move up the ranks when they were done. That's not to say that that is the case with all of them, but many of them. Why some people refuse to understand this is beyond me. I'm not even saying it (necessarily) about the names you mentioned, but CHRIST, is it that hard to believe that some people in the general population who happen to post on baseball message boards just might be smarter people or better at analyzing the game than this fraternity of former players? Is it also that hard to believe that some of these smarter individuals (although the tide is starting to finally turn a bit) have a hard time getting into the game's upper ranks because this fraternity has historically generally only allowed its own in? Joe Morgan is "in the know," too. Yep, you basically just touched on my biggest pet peeve ever. BTW, you seem pretty certain that Piniella and Hendry think Soriano leading off is a bad idea, considering the fact that they did it all year last year.

    The obligatory all star role was usually reserved for Mark Grace and later Sammy, anyway (post-first Sandberg retirement).
  18. David
    I own foos all day with Rich Hill.
  19. David
    Is anyone down to get owned by me on MLB 2K7 on the 360?
  20. David
    Besides, lots of hitters look completely overmatched and foolish against Kerry Wood. I'll never forget when Fernando Vina swung (maybe struck out on?) at a slider that hit him. That was sexy.
  21. David
    Wasn't that the game where lefties could barely hit home runs? Or was it the year before?
  22. David
    Shawon Dunston can't hold a candle to Nomar's 2 productive months as a Cub SS in 2004.
  23. David
    I'm pretty sure Bonsai is the art of cutting those little trees.
  24. David
    That's what she said.
  25. David
    I think they sorta go hand in hand.
