    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
  2. 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

    It ain't over until it's over. That's right Yogi what does yogi bear have to do with anything?

    If DeRosa is the hold-up for Peavy, I'm not going to like him anymore

    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

    Kinda like Oakland? Hudson,Mulder,Harden,Haren, etc... Yes, because all those pitchers turned out to be just awful out of Oakland

    Holy [expletive]
  12. 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
  13. 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?

    Please tell me Santo was at least a big jerk or smacked women around or howried on his grandmother or had done something other than click his frickin heels to deserve this.

    san fransisco isn't really a pitcher's park http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/stats/parkfactor?season=2008 I pretty much agree with you on not wanting Winn at all, but I have an issue with this. First off, one year park factors are pretty meaningless, and secondly, even in 2008 when run scoring in SF was up, it still stifled homers, which was basically his point. Wow, that was a very comma-ey sentence. I'll add that SBC is also significantly less friendly to left-handed hitters due to the gigantic RF power alley

    Nobody doesn't like Len. It's just gravy that he is a fellow Marquette grad. Good for him!
  17. javy knows my name
    that's Even worse, duDe. Means it's so cerebral that you do it subconsciously.
  18. javy knows my name
    I love this post
  19. javy knows my name
    How you make that post after reading BBB's post above is dumbfounding to me
  20. javy knows my name
    I like how he capitalized grind and toughness in his post. It's almost like he wanted the weakest points of his argument to stand out more. But for the record, I agree with most of what you said about Theriot minus the comparison of his and Cedeno's first-year BAs. OBP was the key difference between the two of them. Cedeno's sub-.300 OBP made him a complete liability at the plate that year, whereas Theriot's pedestrian .330ish OBP made him replacement-level

    I heard on ESPN 1000 this afternoon that the offer was 4/52. Don't know why I'm the only one that heard that, but there it is

    Since they do have similar eyewear, you're probably right
  24. javy knows my name
    Are you trying to tell us something that we don't already know here? Look, this is really simple: there is way too much emotion going on in all of your posts. No one is happy that Hill's control has disappeared, and no one knows why it happened. Even if there were a meaningful discussion to be had here (and there isn't), it wouldn't happen because of the nature and tone of your posts. People here don't respond well to these petulant, emotionally charged posts under any circumstances, really. And frankly, the only posts that make the thread readable are the sarcastic ones. You are right when you talk about the vets on this board and the difficulty of getting a post/thread accepted by them. The majority of their posts are probably shots at uninformed and tactless posters cluttering the board, but you'll notice that when any of them start a thread,* they normally make a substantive claim that induces discussion. The "noobs" and the emotionally-driven tend to treat starting a new thread like another post, and forget the substance and hurt any chance of a real discussion. Once you begin starting threads with stats-based claims and relevant information, things will get better for you. *with the exception of maybe IMB. But 90% of them are funny.

    Very nice. This sounds like something Woody Allen would say.
