    It's a lot less certain that his bat will play in RF. Gotta be better than Fuk

    Highly doubt it

    http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseball/cubs/chi-big-z-aram-could-fill-tigers-needs-20110718,0,1424259.story Talks about Andy Oliver and Brandon Inge as possibilities from the Tigers.

    I think Grabow, Aramis, Reed, Byrd, Pena and Baker all get moved.

    So what's the deal with Struck anyways? He gives up more than 1 H/IP
  7. pitchcs
    At 66% success rate?

    Where? I've been everywhere except for Seattle, Tampa and Baltimore.....the only cities I can think of with less to do than Pittsburgh are MAYBE Cincinnati and Oakland (but SF is near by). Major League Baseball features teams in Detroit and Oakland. Enough said. Honestly, I prefer Detroit.

    dew, Luis had 57 HR (!) and let's not forget that even with those pitching stats in the regular season that Randy & Curt were starting even more playoff games.

    Heating up big time though...

    And if anyone is thinking about going to PNC in the future, I highly recommend their stadium tour. When I went they took us through the whole stadium, onto the field and in the dugout and into the batting cages. I got to see a whole bunch of players showing up for the game during the tour that day.

    It should be the only reason you go to Pittsburgh. No doubt -- when I was there a couple years ago I couldn't even find a restaurant open on a Sunday night save for the hotel. Jerome Bettis' restaurant/bar was sorta cool before the game (2-way mirrors out to the restaurant at the bathroom urinals!).

    Waiting for the right opportunity? I can't believe two people in this thread have said that Brenly chose to stay in the booth instead of taking a managing job. All of the reports in the offseason indicated that he was, yet again, trying his damndest to get hired as a manager, including with the Cubs, and came back emptyhanded. Maybe Brenly doesn't want to take ANY managerial job. It could be that once he gets into the negotiations, he sees how the franchise is run by the owners and says no thanks. There's plenty of reasons... He's got a good job in broadcasting and isn't desperate. If the right job opens up and he's interested then, he'll interview. Bunting is a fundamental of the game and EVERYONE needs to know how to do it. Like how to throw to the right base, etc.. Even slow-footed ARAM needs to know how to bunt. Jesus Christ, again with this? Seriously, it's not like Quade or Brenly or Guillen or whoever the manager is is teaching these guys how to bunt.

    I used Soriano as an example. And I said I want a more sound team, not a bumbling, not hitting the cutoff man, bad base running team. You name it, this team does bad in a spectacular fashion. A good manager could change much of this. They also have a 21 year old at SS, a 25 year old rookie at 2B and a bunch of AAAA players filling in the OF for half the year. That's what young players do unfortunately.
  16. pitchcs
    I wouldn't necessarily mind Bob Brenly as the manager that much, but saying that he would do well because he would yell at Soriano and bunt more is stupid.
  17. pitchcs
    So 71 free outs? Good for him 71 free outs and a world series title. I will take it. Hmm....good point I guess. Jesus

    So 71 free outs? Good for him

    This thread is going places thanks to Getting there. Seriously though, you aren't gonna win over anyone on this board with comments such as those. Bob Brenly had in Arizona: a) a top 2-3 pitcher of the past 30 years anchoring his staff (we have Matt Garza) b) a top 25 pitcher of the last 20 years as his #2 (we have Ryan Dempster) c) a 57-HR season out of Luis Gonzalez (we have Carlos Pena with 19) d) the only blown save Mariano Rivera has had in the World Series to thank for his success.

    If he can bring Randy, Curt and Luis Gonzalez circa 2001 with him, sure.
  21. pitchcs
    Think there's pretty close to 0% chance the Rays are dealing Moore or Hellickson.

    I would be interested in Michael Bowden as a throw-in to any deal with Boston. He was a sandwich pick drafted out of Waubonsie Valley HS (Naperville) in 2005. I graduated from Naperville Central in 2001 so I have watched his career semi-closely. When I was out in Boston for the Cubs series a fan of theirs basically told me he has no shot as a SP in Boston and has never been given a fair shake. Looks like he is a reliever now.... http://www.baseball-reference.com/minors/player.cgi?id=bowden001mic Still only 24, would be able to help the big league team immediately.

    Koyie Hill hitting 7th
  24. pitchcs
    As soon as they realize that Fernando Perez is a waste of roster space. Ask and ye shall receive
  25. pitchcs
    Ditto, along with Mike Trout.
