    This thread makes me sad.

    This is gonna be the first time since I first started walkng the Draft that I'll miss a big cunck of it. Lucklily with the Bears picking so late, probably later as a trade down looks possible, I won't miss them. I <3 the Draft.

    I am waiting for a little while to see if everyone keeps up a pace that would make them deserving of an All Star appearance.

    I don't really get all the crap he gets for the half-shirt to be honest. I think they were great to wear under my football pads during practices. If I lifted after pactice I might even wear it, its not a big deal, I'm just lifting weights, no one should care about making some fashion statement. They are nice and breathable. I even occassionaly wear it as an undershirt under my school uniform when it gets warm. Half shirts= the only good thing about Edmonds.

    I can't believe I missed this interview! It was a good chat. The one comment I had was he seemed to have an issue with that early season Peoria weather. Hopefully he doen't get too comfortable in Daytona.

    In my one league I have Chipper Jones coming back off the DL and need to drop someone. In this league there is no bench. I have decided to drop Rich Aurillia, Jason Repko, or Jay Gibbons. Stats are H/AB R HR RBI AVG OBP I would say Aurillia, but I like that I can put him at any IF position. Who woul you drop?

    I just did a Google search and look at news stories and saw nothing. Looks okay to me.

    I'll feel for them when they trade us Jason Bay and Craig Wilson for Jaque Jones Freddie Bynum, and some mid-level pitching prospect.

    I have seen some people dropping him in some of my leaugues. I picked him up if I had an extra DL spot. What's your opinion, is this a smart move or not?
  14. WrigleyField 22
    I'm not buying it. Confession: During my last draft on yahoo I picked Derrek Lee for the first time. Less than a week later he breaks his wrist. Yahoo Fantasy is out to get me.

    At least something positive came out of the Nomar trade. I do miss Nomar, though. :( You mean the Murton trade? To be fair, he reeked of "throw in" to me when we traded for him. I remember the day we traded for Nomar. I heard of this Murton kid and wondered "Why would Theo give up a kid like this that's hit so well at every level?" But, I think he'll be a cornerstone for years to come, and I couldn't be happier. That won't matter to fans when he is an all star.

    Yea I could have really seen Jones forcing it if Murton hadn't tied the game. There wasn't as much pressure, he just had to get a hit. Down 3-1 though Jones might have tried to be a superhero and failed.

    By "everyone," I assume you're indicting Dusty and Hendry. Nobody with sense loved Macias. If you recall back to 2004 or whenever that was there was some mad Macias love going around and it took a couple crappy months for it to die. Maybe we have learned fromour errors but it is fan nature to jump on the bandwgn.

    In one of my leagues I had drafted Maddux. I had some good pitchers and was unsure about Maddux so he was on the bench to start the season. Superstition and stuff I kept him there cuz u know the instant I put him in the lineup he'd give up 40 runs in 1 1/3 IP. I am not doing so hot in this league, it is one of my worst, if not the worst. So right now it is awfully tempting to start him. What do I do?
  20. WrigleyField 22
    Well I guess we'll be missing out on shots of her like Wood's wife during the 2003 postseason. If you weren't convinced before I'm not sure what it will take. Don't worry though, Bynum will have a hot 5-10 days like Macias did in May 2004(?) and everyone will love him.

    Thats a long list not to give up for Cabrera. And I would think Florida would want to wait till the trade deadline to deal him for a team that woud be more desperate for a playoff run. Give up Guz and Marsh. They prob wont want Murton. Deal with bad D in RF with either Murt or Cabrera. Have an expensive 4th OF in Jones. This isn't probable anyway, but if you wanna go for Cabrera sell what you need to now and know that when Lee is healthly it will REALLY pay off. Serious contenders there. We wont get Miquel cheap. Pay up big now or we will have to make a big run with healthly Wood, Prior, Miller, Lee. That may be enough. If you think you need a Cabrera to pick up slack pay a little bit more than you'd like. It will be worth it when we are serious WS contenders.

    Did Ron go into specifics about what Gene and Gary said to Matt? Because if all Ron reported is the general statement you have written above, that Murton is too patient and needs to be more aggressive, the conclusions that can be drawn from that are few and far between. Were they referring to every situation? If so, then the comments you have made are somewhat justified. But if they were referring to only certain situations, then I would say you have jumped the gun with your criticism. Unfortunately, without more specific information on what the coaching actually was, any comment in support of or being critical of their coaching requires a rather large assumption and becomes pointless. Yea I would definately like to hear the context. Certain situations might call for a more agressive approach. I cant recall a specific time but maybe u gotta sometimes take a chance if it means a run. Right now at this point in the season if u miss o well. If you have a chance to make a difference without being TOO agressive take it. Especially for a young guy like Murt he should figure out what he can hit for when its important down the run. I know this goes against what I said before what sometimes agressive might pay off. Matt should figure out now between when and when not to be agressive.

    LOL :lol: Seriously I hope he realizes the coaches just suck and that he knows more on how to be a good hitter.
  24. WrigleyField 22
    Another aspect to look into if you want to make this real confusing is taking into account when the player signed the contract. If he signed the deal in an overpriced market do we take that into account? You could take the average conract given out to that particular position player and see how far % above the average that guy is. So for instance AROD signed his deal in a overpriced market. Everyone was throwing around big dollars. So if you take the average salary handed out to FA SS in that year or two year span, and see how far % above that average he was paid you could incorporate that percent into their OPS. Although you may want to just argue that it doesn't matter what th markey dictated at the time and it doesn't change the fact they are terrible now, which is a valid arguement.

    Restovich isn't either.
