    So, I guess nobody is really buying into that guy's story (on the O's board) who said he met and chatted with Lou at a sports convention and that Lou told him that he had Pie penciled in to play CF and lead-off. It sounds like a reach to me, too. Not sure why he'd make it up, though, especially on an O's board.

    Jeez, am I the only one who goes out of his way to fix screwed up quotes in posts he's replying to?

    Jason Kendall is in the NL Central. I'll be pissed if Soto only steals one base all season. :D I don't know if Soto can even steal a base on Kendall. There are a lot of things he's good at, but speed isn't exactly one of them. I'd put him as the slowest player on last year's team. There's a reason that Soto spent 3 years in AAA and in that time stole exactly 0 bases :D Mark Grace could steal a base on Kendall. Grace had 70 stolen bases in 8065 at-bats between the minors and majors. In 1/4 of the at-bats, Soto has exactly 2, and 1 of those was in rookie league ball. Grace stole a base in every year but 2, 1994 and 2003. Soto's already had 5 separate seasons where he didn't steal a base, including each of the last 3 years. There's a possibility that Soto could steal the base if Kendall threw the ball away like he did many times last year, but I don't want to see him try. He is that slow. If Kendall got it anywhere near the bag, Soto would be out by a mile, even with Kendall's bad arm. It was a joke. Dan Patrick could steal a base on Kendall. Happy? :)

    For some reason, I feel like the Mickey Morandini trade was announced on Christmas Eve in 1997. Could be wrong, though.

    That is funny, but not nearly as funny as Manny cutting off the throw in the outfield. I'm practically in tears every time I see that.
  7. David
    Rats...Late, as usual.

    Supposedly it's Murton, Gallagher, and Patterson for Roberts. There is some talk that the O's are trying to squeeze another player, possibly Cedeno, into the package.
  9. David
    Same. As long as it's not out in the suburbs. My "dream" has always been a new retro-Wrigley-style park somewhere right on the lake, like Northerly Island. Wouldn't really be practical, though, and it would probably be cold as all hell in the early and late season months.

    Latest update from bigbird... Take it for what it's worth... http://forum.orioleshangout.com/forums/showthread.php?t=56702 Also, it is believed that the intentionally leaked false info was the info (to weed out the leak) about the Reds upping their offer for Bedard.

    Not a chance. If they are now just getting to review the clubs financial records, it cannot happen in two days and most of baseball is out for the holidays. First Zell would need to select who he wants to sell to and I think he has bigger fish to fry revamping the executive level of Tribune. Then it needs to be approved by the ownership committee. THEN, it goes to the owners who would have to meet and approve the deal. That doesn't happen in two days. Who the heck is O's Insider anyhow? Sounds like a blog which means don't believe it. It was a joke.
  12. David
    I'd say they're full of crap. There's nothing to that effect on their site.
  13. David
    If Murton's gone, there's a good chance DeRosa is taking that bench spot.
  14. David
    I'm not sure who considers Soriano an "elite" outfielder, but as average as he might be fielding LF, he's far worse fielding 2B. That said, I wouldn't be at all opposed to putting Soriano at 2B and Murton in LF. His bat would be much more valuable at 2B.

    Or the Apprentice Assassins, whatever.

    Lawl at Andy Pratt (and Felix Sanchez, for that matter) being part of "Murderer's Throw."
  17. David
    That might be. But then I don't really know what Omar meant by that. One is a feature column in a major metropolitan newspaper. The other is a famous guy's internet blog.
  18. David
    It probably didn't help that it was jersey/goony that was making the joke. :lol:
  19. David
    Could all just be posturing to try and squeeze more out of the Cubs.
  20. David
    He is.
  21. David
    I really don't know what you mean by that.
  22. David
    :?: :?: Judging by his recent columns, he'd be very happy.
  23. David
    Yea, I've been listening and hadn't heard anything either. Weird. Is he just making things up?
  24. David
    Are Chicago radio stations really reporting that a deal is done? http://weblogs.baltimoresun.com/sports/roch/blog/2007/12/roberts_rumors.html
  25. David
    I'm really not sure what the point of re-listing the tools was?
