    Is that for sure?
  2. CaliforniaRaisin
    Izturis might have had a play on that one.
  3. CaliforniaRaisin
    Wasn't Mateo??? Yes. Is he really on the DL? Yes.

    Probable Starters: Iowa: RHP Jerome Williams (3-4, 4.08 ERA, 75 IP) vs. RHP Francisco Cruceta (9-7, 4.29 ERA) Daytona: LHP Carlos Perez (3-5, 4.30 ERA, 88 IP) Peoria: RHP Todd Blackford (8-5, 4.98 ERA, 112 IP) vs. RHP Robert Mosebach (8-5, 2.96) Boise: RHP Alfredo Francisco (4-1, 5.40 ERA, 28.1 IP) Mesa: RHP Robert Hernandez (3-0, 1.96 ERA, 23 IP) & RHP Rafael Dolis (0-1, 8.79 ERA, 14.1 IP) *Take Mesa's probable starter with a grain of salt as they shuffle their pitchers around with frequency.

    I didn't have a particular definition in mind (this is a poll taken from cubs.com, not my own). I think I'd consider an impact player to be a starting position player, or for a pitcher, a starter, setup man, or closer. In that case, Pie and Hill should be way ahead of the rest. If you wanted more than just a starting position player, it'd get more interesting. I'd rank them in this order, from most likely to least likely to be an impact player: Felix Pie Rich Hill Sean Gallagher Eric Patterson Tyler Colvin

    Then why give up on the cheaper Cedeno?
  8. CaliforniaRaisin
    And the kid's over the Mendoza line, like Rundle! Up next, getting Andersen over the Mendoza line.

    Winds will be blowing from LF to RF at 10 mph. It will be 74°F with a 30% chance of precip. http://image.weather.com/web/radar/us_ord_closeradar_medium_usen.jpg

    Was roommates with 2 Giants fans (and one A's fan) and lived down the hall from quite a few more. You're not stereotyping at all. Of course we were in college back then...
  11. CaliforniaRaisin
    Why, what's going to happen to Dempster, Eyre, Howry and Wuertz?
  12. CaliforniaRaisin
    Iowa up 6-2 in the bottom of the 6th. Felix just walked. Bottom 7th, West Tenn still down 3-1. 2-2 in the bottom of the 7th for the Peoria-Cedar Rapids game.
  13. CaliforniaRaisin
    Man, Holliman is continuing his slide after a hot May and June. Another reason to move him to the pen in the upper minors and the bigs?
  14. CaliforniaRaisin
    As TT points out, Pie has a double and then he scores as Montanez goes the other way for an RBI single. It's now 6-2 in the 4th.
  15. CaliforniaRaisin
    Tacoma scores 2 in the top of the 4th to make it 5-2, Iowa.
  16. CaliforniaRaisin
    Tacoma just switched pitchers too....both pitchers going out this early with no apparent problems is rather odd. Rain delay? It's dry in the area.
  17. CaliforniaRaisin
    And the Iowa broadcast goes out. Meh. Iowa is up 5-0 and still batting in the 3rd.
  18. CaliforniaRaisin
    Iowa up 3-0 in the bottom of the 3rd. Here in the 3rd, Montanez doubles and then Fontenot gets an RBI double and then Restovich singled in Fontenot. West Tenn is down 2-1 in the top of the 4th. The Jaxx scored their run in the bottom of the 1st on a Chris Walker leadoff triple and an EPatt RBI single. Daytona down 4-2 after 6. Holliman wore down in the 6th and couldn't get out of the inning. Peoria is up 2-0 after 3. Chirinos with a double and a triple.
  19. CaliforniaRaisin
    Just tuned in, I'll let you know if I hear anything.
  20. CaliforniaRaisin
    I shouldn't think this delay lasts too long...
  21. CaliforniaRaisin
    Tacoma and Iowa are scoreless in the bottom of the first. Felix Pie just led off the bottom of the first with a single to RF. Tennessee gets to Mathes for 1 ER on 1 hit in the top of the first. West Tenn is coming up to bat, down 1-0. Holliman has given up 8 hits through 4, but just 1 ER. Daytona leads it 2-1 in the bottom of the 5th. Peoria and Cedar Rapids are scoreless after 1.
  22. CaliforniaRaisin
    Daytona up 2-0 after 2.
  23. CaliforniaRaisin
    What a guy hitting .292 with 28 HR and 82 RBI with a OBP .352 isn't good enough? Huh? Carlos Lee is 96th of qualified players in OBP. He's not a bad player, but on a team that's going to need an OBP stud to overcome low OBP guys in Izturis, Jones, and possibly Cedeno, it's not enough. Gee, Hee Flop Choi is an OBP stud, he just can't hit too well. See, this is called trolling. No, just stating a well known fact. No need for the nicknames then.
  24. CaliforniaRaisin
    Prior is guranteed to start the season on the DL. Anything else you can guarantee?
  25. CaliforniaRaisin
    The FA market for SP is going to be really bad. Schimdt and Zito will get overpaid. Marquis will get way more than he should. Weaver, Padilla are guys who could be cheap. *edit* Trade for Lackey. :D Don't forget the top pitcher from Asia who might be coming over. Maddux, Ohka, Meche, Mussina are all free agents. Daisuke will be a Yankee.
