    Probably Adam Wainwright. I would think teams would want Lambert more then Wainwright. Wainwright is closer to being ready, but i think Lamber has way more upside the Wainwright who had a horrible 2nd half. I agree.
  2. CaliforniaRaisin
    Crawford/Baldelli/Young isn't bad. If Young plays in the big leagues.
  3. CaliforniaRaisin
    Yup.
  4. CaliforniaRaisin
    Until they trade for Adam Dunn.
  5. CaliforniaRaisin
    Yeah, even Roy Oswalt can't stop that.
  6. CaliforniaRaisin
    Brad Lidge needs some.
  7. CaliforniaRaisin
    Good ol' Q.
  8. CaliforniaRaisin
    Sox fans are going to be insufferable for decades. glad I don't live in chicago. y'all better hope the cubs get their act together quickly. Yup.
  9. CaliforniaRaisin
    Wow. Podsednik? Are you kidding?
  10. CaliforniaRaisin
    Didn't see the game last night, but on hindsight - with Scotty Poddy's arm and the wet conditions, it was a risky but good gamble.
  11. CaliforniaRaisin
    Unless it's Vizcaino. :oops: Good piece of hitting, ballsy base running. I would have held the guy at third, that was a pathetic throw by Scotty Poddy but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt since the ball was wet.

    The only chance the Stros have on Jenks' FB is to take take take.

    I think the Astros will be lucky to win more than one game this series...

    You're totally missing the point of his post... because there is no point, you can't compare a part time player to a guy that has put up good numbers on a consistent basis. Sure you can. You aren't talking about a 25 or 50 AB sample size. There's enough sample out there for Hairston to make an adequate projection of everyday performance. and the corrolary of your argument is that there is enough sample size out there to make an adequate projection that Hairston cannot remain healthy. He is not saying that Hairston can remain healthy. He never once argued that. So I doubt he would counter your argument that he can't remain healthy. What he IS saying, and justifiably so, is that nobody has ever said that Hairston, if healthy, would solve our leadoff problem (which he wouldn't), even though, over the last 4 years, he's been a similar hitter to Pierre. There's 3 reasons why he wouldn't solve it. 1) He's very unreliable. Huge point. 2) His career obp is .334, not .355. Pierre's has some good years where he actually played the entire season. Has Hairston ever had a good year where he played nearly every game?? 3) He doesn't steal nearly as many bases as Pierre. Add that all up and Pierre >>> Hairston. That doesn't mean Pierre is actually good.

    Correct.

    Why didn't they check Dye's undershirt to see if there was any indication that the ball hit? I would think that if the ball hit Dye on his wrist there, he'd be in a whole lot of pain. Which he wasn't.
  17. CaliforniaRaisin
    Given the weather (temps in the 40s, rain), a pitch thrown that hard would have really hurt Dye if it hit him. When Dy started walking towards first with no sign of pain, that was a good sign that he didn't get hit.
  18. CaliforniaRaisin
    What happened? Konerko hit a 2 out grand slam. After Dye was awarded first base with a HBP on what was a foul ball. Add that to AJP's strikeout in Game 2 and the non-call on Steve Finley's catcher's interference.
  19. CaliforniaRaisin
    Wow, the White Sox have gotten every bad call in their favor throughout the playoffs. That was a foul ball.

    You're totally missing the point of his post... because there is no point, you can't compare a part time player to a guy that has put up good numbers on a consistent basis. But CPatt isn't comparing a part-time player to a player that has put up good numbers consistently (because Juan Pierre hasn't put up good numbers consistently). .355 career OBP doesn't meet your criteria of good numbers? #-o You said consistently. Last year, he had a .326 OBP - not very consistent with his career OBP, is it? Hey, last year, his SLG was below his career OBP. I would rather take a chance on a guy that has been better on a consistent basis and chalk it off to 1 bad year, than go with a guy that has a consistent .334 OBP, with a history of injuries. I would rather go with neither. Why must the Cubs settle for guys who posted OBPs of .326 and .334 to solve the leadoff position when there are better candidates available?

    I wasn't watching - was it Tony Almeda?

    They're the Padres flagship station, I'd think they'd get a signing like that right.

    Probably rehabbing that shoulder.
