  1. His 2010 was only a little better than his 2009. He just hit more runs. He also walked less and struck out more. Either way, neither of those 2 seasons were close to the season he had in all 4 previous years.
  2. He's "fine" is the sense that he's still a good player, but he's not even close to what he used to be. His walk rate has dropped and his K rate has gone through the roof. Wright's first 5 seasons: .309/.389/.533 Wright's last 3 seasons .287.366/.468 Almost a 100 point dropoff in total OPS, and it happens right after he turns 26? So I ask again... what the hell happened to David Wright?
  3. In a related thought, what the [expletive] happened to David Wright?
  4. Joe Johnson Despite his bad year for the Hawks, it would been awesome if we had gotten Joe Johnson for boozer money. Johnson is exactly what the bulls need. Colleti is straight garbage,
  5. I always think it sounds incriminating when somebody uses a slur and then says "it just slipped". To me, that implies that the person had these words on their mind before and they accidentally say them out loud.
  6. I loved his reasoning for putting Dunn in there That's some hard hitting anaylisis. A google search of the dude's name.
  7. Yea, I'm near St. Pete and thats one everyone says. Doesn't mean much though. The Cubs position is just a signficantly better opportunity all around. The Rays this year are a pretty good example of why he's eventually going to have to leave, pretty much. The Rays are a very good team this season and still aren't remotely close to the playoffs.
  8. The minor league system sucks because they always give away their picks in compensation for signing Type A/B free agents. There was always kind of a disconnect between the Steinbrenners and Cashman. Cashman is more player-development orientated than casual fans think. He manages the Yankees, so they just assume his philosophy is to spend blindly, and that's not really true. Didn't he almost leave the Yankees a few years ago because he wanted to build up the farm system and George wanted to keep spending on whatever was avilable each offseason?
  9. Let's see if Hollandsworth compliments Soriano for being a leader with Castro.
  10. http://www.cinemablend.com/images/news_img/17979/weekend_at_bernies_17979.jpg
  11. Bruce Miles has always been kind of a Hendry apologist.
  12. Oh man, that would be awesome just to hear what Kaplan/Stone/etc say
  13. Imagine if he ended the Red Sox drought and then ended the Cubs'.
  14. Tied with Youkilis at .861 The Cubs have to pick up his option, right? I wish I was more confident they would.
  15. sabr-themed tournament to find next gm and manager.
  16. It slipped. typical errormiss
  17. Why are you including Byrd, Dempster, and Marmol (maybe) in this list? those aren't bad contracts.
  18. athletes tend to not want to suck as they age.
  19. he's going to announce that jim hendry will be back next year to put to rest any speculation of him being fired. we all know it's coming.
  20. good, it's about time they got rid of hendry and quade.
  21. i doubt quade is back. hendry probably will be, but quade will be one of the guys who takes the fall for the nightmare season. everybody wants changes, and he's an easy guy to get rid of. an unknown guy with no experience who was basically getting a one year tryout this season. now we know he sucks and can move on.
  22. The fact that they didn't trade Pena makes me believe that they are going to try and keep him next season because they aren't going to go after Pujols or Fielder.
  23. i had no idea what to expect from quade going into this season, but i didn't think he could be this bad. yikes.
