  2. Licey won 9-2: CF F. Pie 0/2, 2 BB (7) Overall: 27/121, .223/.271/.281/.552, 1 HBP, 7 BB, 23 K, 1 HR, 4 2B, 5/5 SB
  3. I'm going to go ahead and start the Hindus for Church (But Not at the Expense of Angel Guzman) Group. Feel free to join me, but you can only be a Hindu if you were born one.
  4. Do you value Mr. BB himself Carlos Marmol anywhere near Hill? Hill is ready to go NOW. Marmol has great stuff but is still a year or two away IMO. Strangely enough I put Mateo over Marmol RIGHT NOW. Hill > Veal > Gallagher > Pawelek > Guzman > Marshall > Marmol > Ryu > Mateo You rate Gooz too low, imo. And no way would I rate Mateo ahead of Marmol. Being better than another player over the first 50 innings doesn't mean that player will be better the rest of his career.
  5. Do you value Mr. BB himself Carlos Marmol anywhere near Hill? Hill is ready to go NOW. Marmol has great stuff but is still a year or two away IMO. Strangely enough I put Mateo over Marmol RIGHT NOW. Can Marmol play shortstop? He has a higher career OPS than Izturis. He used to be an outfielder, if memory serves me correctly. Wasnt he a catcher? Both.
  6. He's had some defensive problems despite whatever ratings he got from the publications. Those certainly weren't big enough to move him to the OF, especially considering his rebound in the AFL. This looks like a case where the Cubs would like him to learn to play OF a bit because they expect DeRosa to block him at second base (meh) and want to get his bat up sooner than later.
  7. FoxSports.com reports that Jurgen Klinsmann will be named the U.S. national team head coach!!
  8. I'd do a Mateo for Church trade five hours ago.
  9. Doesn't sound like much. From the source of Rotoworld's blurb:
  10. If Maddux signs with the Padres, the Dodgers are expected to move to Lilly or Meche (along with Schmidt).
  11. KU beat USC yesterday 72-62. UCLA plays Cal State Fullerton today at Pauley. It will be an intriguing matchup because Howland is good friends with CSUF's coach, Bob Burton and many of CSUF's players have played with the Bruins players during summer leagues and the like (UCLA's Arron Afflalo, Josh Shipp, Lorenzo Mata and former Bruin Jordan Farmar and CSUF's Bobby Brown, Scott Cutley and Jarrel Lake are all good friends from their high school days).
  12. Kyle Orton should not be an option for a playoff team.
  13. Oh man, this thread got bad in a hurry. I blame seth for starting it.
  14. Yesterday (PDF) in the Dominican Republic: Licey won 5-4: CF F. Pie 0/3, 2 K (23) Orientales won 5-2: C J. Reyes 1/4, RBI (7), K (6), passed ball (3) Overall: Felix Pie (Licey): 27/119, .227/.264/.286/.550, 1 HBP, 5 BB, 23 K, 1 HR, 4 2B, 5/5 SB Jose Reyes (Orientales): 12/51, .235/.250/.333/.583, 2 2B, 1 HR, 1 BB, 6 K, 3 passed balls No games today.
  15. Games start back up tomorrow for the final week of the VWL season.
  16. MiLB.com's Rule 5 primer.
  17. At least you only miss an hour, I probably will miss the whole game because of work.
