    but he wasn't a power hitting first baseman, so why penalize him for that? He was in that mold of first baggers like Will Clark and Olerud. Granted they both had a bit more power than Gracie, but they aren't Thome/Big Mac types. Would it have been nicer if he had more power? Hell ya. He still had a damn strong decade though. this makes no sense to me. i don't understand saying "he wasn't a power hitting first baseman", like that means it's okay that he didn't hit for power. it's like saying "michael barrett isn't a defensive catcher" after someone complains about his defense. mark grace not being a power hitter is a strike against him, at least when comparing him to others. it doesn't make his other stats better. power might not have been part of his game, but it's a huge part of THE game..... especially if you play first base.

    Love Grace, but I'm not sure a .449 slugging percentage from a 1B (especially in Wrigley) is good enough to be a top 20 player for that decade.

    i really want dunn, but man it's going to suck to have to put up with kaplan-esque meatheads whine about his skill set constantly.

    brandon phillips igniting the cardinals will go down as one of the biggest blunders in ohio sports history

    You mean his .335 OBP and sub .800 OPS?

    I can see it now- Hendry hires Sandberg. Sandberg then informs Hendry that Dunn isn't "his type of player". Cubs pass on Dunn.

    doc rivers is still whining about the perkins injury costing them the title?
  10. 17 Seconds
    You mean the article that gave absolutely zero actual reasoning for hiring him? The whole basis of that argument was cliche garbage like "Sandberg understands the Cubs" and "Sandberg has paid his dues". I want a manager who actually understands what REALLY wins baseball games (hint: it's not bunting and "playing the game the right way")

    Why isn't Marmol's season getting the attention it deserves. It's better than the year that "won" a Cy Young Award for Eric Gagne. no it's not. not even close.

    wtg brandon phillips. boy i bet he feels stupid now
  14. 17 Seconds
    So he hates Gilbert, but maybe he'll play for him again? What a bunch of BS. You missed the two best quotes

    As much of a mouthbreather as Kaplan is, he's pretty well connected. This wouldn't be the first deal, or even the third, that he's been the first to report. He's also been completely wrong on many occasions

    james loney is a 1B with a .752 ops and is on pace for about 100 rbis. is he a badass "run producer"? no, because RBIs tell you absolutely nothing and the term "run producer" makes you sound like dave kaplan.

    This just seems like typical lee to me. He shows up in the boxscores when it no longer matters. It happened this year and to a degree last year. He played great in 05 when it didn't matter. When it comes to crunch time as in the post season, the guy has zero rbi's with the cubs and 8 total in 100 at bats. Hes just not a legitimate star, team leader, nor a three hitter. Unfortunately year after year we were left to depend on him in this capacity. If only we had more Jaw jutting, forward leaning, scruff of the beard type winners like Darin Erstad or Scott Brocius. Nice sarcasm but this was hardly a post about having more hustle-type "winners." How does that make us better? Its about getting some consistent hitting out of the three hole and having a real run producer in our line up. jesus

    Still more promising than Rudy's I'd say. What does Rudy do besides shoot the three ball?
  20. 17 Seconds
    Rudy Fernandez does not warrant that sort of additional attention. Yeah, he's pretty overrated and whines about playing time also.....something he'd probably not be getting a ton of if he came here. I read that Portland wanted Taj Gibson and a 1st rounder for Rudy. Ha. I'd take him, but no way in hell I'd give up Gibson.

    So we should keep him because he's not as bad as the other crappy managers the Cubs made the mistake of hiring before him? That's logical?
