    He's still on probation. That's going to cause some major problems. Oh boy. I don't know much about law, but I imagine that could mean jail time. He can be re-charged for the old charges, that's all I know. Of course, this would probably be taken care of after playoffs.

    I'm in LA, that's my excuse. They're in the greater Chicagoland, what's their excuse? I only have one finger. Quit flicking me off with it.

    Sigh. Tank Johnson just surrendered to Gurnee police on unlawful use of a weapon (6 counts).

    No big deal, TB can't pass. Hillenmeyer can play all game again. Poor Hunter. I am going to enjoy Hester getting more reps at DB, though. God, why? He's not a very good corner right now. Well, the game doesn't matter. I'd like to see if he can improve and at least get some reps in-game.

    Thomas Jones didn't practice too.

    I'm not lazy, just didn't know where on ESPN's site it was. Thanks! Whatever lazy. Call me lazy if you want. It doesn't matter, I'll still beat you.

    They were handcuffed to each other? :lol: :shock: Jessica is dating a former UCLA student, that'd be no good if she hooked up with Rex.

    Tank has been about as useful. Seriously? Tank has actually contributed. The other guys have been a black hole of terribleness. Well I'm exaggerating, but he's been as big a 2nd round disappointment as anybody. I gotta disagree with you here. I think he's been alright. I completely agree with you. Oh my goodness, the Score is horrendous. How can these people be this stupid? My boss just stopped by my cubicle and heard the move Tait to DT question. He asked if all people in Chicago are that dumb. :|

    Oh bollocks. If you don't want to believe me, I really could care less. Unless you want to tell me why I'd have a reason to lie about this. No, no you misunderstand. That was a sigh of disappointment. If I was calling bull I'd just say "That's bollocks". :P In that instance, I apologize. My lack of vocabulary kills me again, eh? ;) Go learn more British slang before you post any more. Sheesh.

    Where can one join? I couldn't find it.
  20. CaliforniaRaisin
    Don't know what to think, I'm hopeful.
  21. CaliforniaRaisin
    Sigh. :(
  22. CaliforniaRaisin
    Yeah, I agree. About Tank: crap. :|

    I agree with what you say about scouting and stats - I believe a balance between the two would be the most ideal way to work. And I think Pagan is a servicable 25th man; I don't think his physical tools are that great.
  25. CaliforniaRaisin
    please provide me with a better predictor of future performance thanks! Why? Do you think minor league stats can be equated to major league performance absolutely? If so, you have your opinion already. great answer. you've really provided a lot of support for your position. Be reasonable. It wouldn't matter what he or anyone said to you. Your opinion won't ever change. Thanks for keeping an open mind! give me something to keep an open mind about. you're saying that bad minor league players can turn into good major league players...throw some names at me. No. You added the descriptions "good" and "bad" to this discussion. There are tons of minor leaguers who put up better numbers in the bigs. I never said Pagan was going to be a world burner, just that he'd be a productive ML bench player. Chris Carpenter didn't put up good numbers in AA or AAA. He's one of the best pitchers in baseball and has been for some time now. Robinson Cano, Alfonso Soriano, Jose Reyes Those are all guys who showed ok to great improvement in the bigs compared to their career minor league numbers. No, I don't think Pagan will turn out to be a stud, but a .775 OPS or better bench player with decent SB totals? Sure. The problem with the four you listed are that they are all immensly talented players who were thought of highly as prospects because of their tools and skills.
