    Definitely not. He's the definition of untouchable for the O's. If Tampa called and said they would trade David Price straight up for him I am sure the O's would do it. I doubt it. Seems like they severely overvalue their players. They'd probably ask for Upton too This may be true, but an argument can be made that Tampa overvalues theirs even more. And probably for good reason. This doesn't make sense. It's not an over-evaluation if it's justified. For the record, I think Hermida is overvalued and should be traded to us for spare parts :ninja:

    Maybe i'm a little slow, but it looks like you just argued that Dunn "extends the possibility for creating an out" by "not making an out." This is a problematic argument, and it makes me question your belief in the importance of OBP if you are so worried about the DP. It sounds like you are advocating "Dusty-izing" Dunn in this specific situation, a.k.a. making contact for the sake of making contact, putting the ball in play, grinding it out, *insert tired, irrelevant baseball cliche here* This is not Dunn's game, NOR SHOULD IT BE. Making Dunn more aggressive in this situation means he chases pitches he doesn't like and handcuffs himself and his awesome power. His game is to crush the mistakes and let the ones he can't do anything with go by, and this shouldn't change even in this scenario. He's never been a high BA guy or a move the runner over guy and his numbers reflect this. And enough about his speed, please. The man is a solid base-runner with plenty of meaningless steals to his credit and I would say 98.73% of the time the DP is the batter's fault, not the runner's (notable exceptions include catchers and Paul Konerko). Put him at the top of the order in front of other guys who crush the ball and this isn't an issue. When simpletons like Dusty bat him 7th, it sure as hell is. Welcome to the forum and I believe I may like the cut of your jib.

    Only if David Price disappoints. Of course it's possible, it's just not all that likely
  5. javy knows my name
    did they institute a "no full-backs in the 4th quarter" rule in the CFL this year or something? Wonderful.

    I would not call Ichiro an average defender unless his arm regresses quite a bit. P.S. Is this Ichiro in center or Ichiro in right? Like I said, theres been a lot of discussion on how UZR rates Ichiro, but its good to know you wouldn't call in an average defender. This is a combo of CF and RF Ichiro. That was unnecessarily snotty, ryandilon

    It really is. IIRC, Dunn has a pretty strong arm to make up for no range and Pat the bat has absolutely nothing going for him out there. There is a reason they call him Pat the bat and it's not because he drives in runs with his glove Burrell has one of the best OF arms in the game. But, he still has terrible range and defense and would probably be horrible in RF. For real? I did not know this. So does that make him more serviceable than Dunn out there?

    I didn't want Ibanez at all. But if the Rays can convince Bradley to go there, the Phillies get Ibanez, the White Sox get Abreu, does that leave us Dunn? I know the Rays are the flavor of the month, but if given similar offers, I cant see Bradley chosing the Rays over the Cubs. You never know what the season will bring, but Im guessing that the Rays had their chance, and the Yanks and Sawx are going to resume their dominance over the division. What in the good Lord's name makes you think that? You say that about old teams, not the youngest, most talented team in baseball with the strongest farm.

    It could easily be that both DB and DB reincarnated are pranks. Funny ones, too. Sometimes I need to tell myself this just to preserve my faith in humanity
  12. javy knows my name
    Am I the only one who doesn't believe this guy is really DB or for real at all? Kinda seems like a prank (especially considering DB didn't last but 2 months or so here yet he claims to have been here for years). Oh yeah, Peavy. I think we'll get him and I think what's holding it up right now is getting rid of Marquis and I would guess the issue of Vitters or Pie (and not both).
  13. javy knows my name
    Didn't we have like the best offense in the NL last year, or at least close to the best? Who cares what we need. We need a RF and 1 more SP. I'd rather have Reed Johnson in RF and Peavy then Milton Bradley and Marquis. That's idiotic
  14. javy knows my name
    The biggest difference is that Peavy is signed long-term and is thus a burden for several years. Johan was gone after the season, anyway and at least garnered two picks if they lost him to FA. Pads are in a much worse leverage position with Peavy, IMO.

    Gets me more excited but Clement has the edge over Dempster for me FWIW, Clement never had a season as good as Dempster's 2008. His 2002 might've been close. But I know what you're saying. Yep I know. But Demp didn't have that season in our theoretical rotation, yo

    I only did that to see if someone would bite so I could make fun of them
  19. javy knows my name
    It ain't over until it's over. That's right Yogi what does yogi bear have to do with anything?
  20. javy knows my name
    If DeRosa is the hold-up for Peavy, I'm not going to like him anymore
  21. javy knows my name
    Everyone will make sure to hire some writers to improve these jokes to your level immediately. The funny thing is that I've found everything you've said in the last two pages hilarious...I'm not sure what thread abuck is reading
  22. javy knows my name
    Kinda like Oakland? Hudson,Mulder,Harden,Haren, etc... Yes, because all those pitchers turned out to be just awful out of Oakland
  23. javy knows my name
    Holy [expletive]
  24. javy knows my name
    Really? That's the only difference you see between the two of them in terms of their plate approach? Their value to the Cubs? Not being critical, just honestly curious about your feelings here. Edit: It appears you were estimating what things looked like through Lou/Hendry's eyes. Retracted
  25. javy knows my name
    Seriously? How about asking some scouts Lou? You mean Hughes should be asking the pro scouts, Hughes should relay it to Hendry and Hendry should pass it onto Lou. Or just have Hendry or more likely one of his assistants look up his scouting report from the database. How are they supposed to jack up his price that way?
