Player A - RBI and Runs are a team driven stat. What player would you rather pick up in the offseason? I have to agree with you. I would rather have Player A. 90 RBI's for the Yankees is a lot different than 90 RBI's with the Royals.
-
That's the point. Neifi is the worst player that has actually had enough at bats to qualify for this. Augie may be worse, but he is so bad that he isn't good enough to get the at bats. Oh...IS that the point? ...jesus... Actually, yes it is.
-
Doesn't that depend on where in the order you want the player to bat?

If Maddux helped the Cubs win the World Series, that would be historic. Player starts career with one team, leaves, then comes back and helps his original team win a World Series. I'm wondering if a Cubs World Series outweighs all of his great years with the Braves. If the Cubs don't win the Series then he will definately go in as a Brave. Let's just hope we need to have that debate in a few months.

Koronka's Line for the Rangers Tonight
soccer10k replied to vance_the_cubs_fan's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Me either....but so far, he looks better than Rusch. Well, just about anybody could have looked better than Rusch so far. -
He's 4 of 24 with a walk since opening day. Then which of these are classified as bad games: 1 for 4 2 runs 2 SB 1 for 4 1 run 1 for 4 1 RBI 1 for 3 1 BB Getting on base 1 out of 4 times is awful. Especially since he's a leadoff hitter.
-
That is awesome. Talk about a free swinger. The most walks he ever had in a season was 40. He had 35 BB in another and never had another season with more than 30 BB. Both of those were full seasons as well. Somebody has to do it.

It appears that I should have named this thread "Which NL 3B would you want on your team." My apologies go out to David Wright.

Thanks a lot Wade Boggs.

Abreu at the deadline?

I like Diaz but I don't think he is a difference maker. He is also a guy without a position. They've tried him everywhere and he has stunk it up in the field. I do think he is a Chicagoan though. Isn't he the guy that hit the killer HR against us in 2004 late in the year? The one that tied the game in the bottom of the ninth? -
I have middle of the day class as well. Fortunately I have some breaks so I can go to a computer lab and log on to NSBB for updates. This is my last quarter so I didn't have a choice on which classes to take. Don't you hate it when class gets in the way of your Cubs watching? I know I do.
-
Are you sure about that? I hope you are right though.
-
I thought it was the players decision. It used to be but not anymore. You can thank players like Wade Boggs for that. Ok, well what should hat should he wear in the HOF?
-
I thought it was the players decision.
-
I definately think it would most likely be the Braves since he did have a majority of his good years there. But he did only win 1 WS with the Braves so winning one with Chicago could change his mind.

'06 Predictions Contest / HR Derby: Discussion & Updates
soccer10k replied to Laura's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Awesome. Thanks. -
I brought this up in the other Maddux thread, but I figured I would make a new thread about it. Which cap should Maddux wear when he gets elected into the Hall of Fame and does that depend on if he wins a World Series with the Cubs. If he doesn't win with the Cubs I think he'll go in with a Braves hat. But if he wins one with the Cubs, that changes things completely.
-
That's the point. Neifi is the worst player that has actually had enough at bats to qualify for this. Augie may be worse, but he is so bad that he isn't good enough to get the at bats.
-
You bring up an interesting question. If Maddux wins a World Series this year with the Cubs, what cap should he go into the Hall with, a Cubs or Braves? The Cubs fan in me wants to see Maddux wear a Cubs hat but he did have most of his good years with the Braves.

'06 Predictions Contest / HR Derby: Discussion & Updates
soccer10k replied to Laura's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Can somebody upload the spreadsheet they are using to do this? I'm too lazy to create my own. -
Skimming threads? That point was brought up in this thread already. :wink: <- Guilty.
-
I think another former Marlin has worked out well for us. I think his name is Derrek Lee? I'm not sure on the stats but I've heard that he's a decent first baseman. Any truth to this?
-
I hope you are correct. I would be content with just the first one coming true. We need a solid start from Z to back up the solid start from Maddux.
-
I think it depends on how well we think our young pitchers will do in the majors. If we have faith in Marshall, Guzman, etc. then there is no need to keep Maddux. Also depends on if Prior/Wood/Miller comeback healthy. Maddux would command decent money and if two of the three come back healthy and pitch well that would still leave us with three good pitchers. I don't think we need to pay Maddux a high salary to be a fourth starter. I do hope he has a good year though. We need him and Z to pitch well early on the keep the team stable.

Z vs Milton
