    Fuld has no business being a 4th outfielder for a big market major league team. He's a bad version of Scott Posednik. so scott podsednik then

    just saw the first of the 2 shorthanded goals. how does that happen? he just skated right by him.

    Luckily the entire central has looked pretty bad thus far. which means we're losing a golden opportunity to build up a lead

    a fuckin slapshot? this team is garbage right now

    man, campbell should have buried that

    It's at the point where I can't be excited about this team until they get a real goalie. No chance in hell that they win a cup without getting one.

    I didnt think this deserved its own thread, so I figured Id hijack this one for a moment. While I dont knowmuch about Thames defense, he is the offensive equivelent of Cameron, so why not get him for cheaper instead? If we must get as player we dont really want, may as well be the cheapest one. thames is not the offensive equivalent to cameron at all also, thames doesn't play center (meaning we wouldn't get the advantage of moving kosuke back to right) and is a really bad defender in the outfield positions he does play so to summarize.... mike cameron is good, thames sucks, and they are nothing alike at all.

    holliday from 06-08: .329/.400/.579 holliday in 09: .313/.394/.515 that's a pretty big discrepancy. he was always good and i dont think anybody ever argued that. he just wasn't quite as good as his numbers suggestes while he played in colorado. and using greene is kind of pointless when you consider he just flat out turned to crap the last 2 seasons. when he was in san diego. he had a 102 OPS+ from 02-06. if he had played in a normal park when he was actually good, his numbers would have looked really nice. those are 2 players who played in very extreme ballparks though. i don't really see the point of using them with hermida. land shark stadium is kind of right in the middle in terms of park factors. actually, it has land shark as being a hitter's park in 2 of the last 3 seasons... including 4th overall last season.

    i almost forgot that gomez was like the centerpiece in the santana trade. ouch
  11. 17 Seconds
    i think i'd rather take a shot at pie. at least he has a chance of learning how to hit. it seems like even if gomez does reach his offensive ceiling, it's only going to be juan pierre.
  12. 17 Seconds
    i love gomez's career OPS+ of 73 and OBP of .292 also, for a guy as fast as him, he doesn't steal bases at a very good rate

    Anyone who makes a big deal about anyone getting caught with weed deserves scorn, regardless of the race of the person that got caught. If you are making a big deal about the weed alone, I agree, but if getting caught puts that person's availability in peril somehow whether it be by league suspension or jail, or especially if the weed was being used before or during driving, then there's absolutely nothing wrong with laying on the criticism. my point was that the initial poster's attitude was "oh, that wacky Lincecum and his pot", where there are plenty of other players who would not be let off so easily in the same situation cowherd said something similar to that. when lincecum gets caught, it's kind of funny, but when an nba player gets caught, the nba has a weed problem. might have something to do with the fact that nba players get caught with weed all the time and the majority of nba players actually smoke it.

    or those are 2 different groups of posters or nobody said he'd be an idiot for getting hermida at all Plenty of people have been saying that Hermida is not that good. He's a decent insurance policy but he shouldn't be counted on as a savior. and just as many people (probably more) have wanted hermida on this board for a while. the point is that people aren't just praising this move because theo epstein did it. I'm not sure I totally agree with you on this comment. There have been dozens of pages criticizing Hendry on every move he makes (or doesn't make) and praising the genius of Epstein and Beane. and you don't think that's because those people tend to like the decisions epstein makes and dislike the ones hendry makes? people compliment epstein on making good moves a lot because he makes good moves a lot. people critcize hendry for making poor moves a lot because he makes poor moves a lot.

    Just really need to get healthy. Sucks that we have to hit a tough spot in the schedule right now.

    love lincecum

    I'm looking at the schedule for thism month and this team could be in trouble. Remember when we had a 6 point lead in the Wings like a week ago? That was nice.

    The Braves are planning on competing this year. They aren't going to trade a guy who was a top 3 pitcher in the NL last season for the stuff you're talking about. It's not even worth discussing.
  23. 17 Seconds
    This move would be absolutely infuriating.
  24. 17 Seconds
    Vazquez was lke a top 3 pitcher in the NL last season. I don't see why the Braves would want to trade him, especially for that.

    While this list is full of undesirebles, the one name that stands out that would be a perfect match is Lowe. The Braves have been looking for a righty bat for the outfield, and Bradley could match that need. Meanwhile, ground ball master Lowe would be great at Wrigley, and we could then be free to shop for Bradleys replacement, using Marshall, Gorzo, or Shark as bait. Lowe's groundball rate has plummeted over the last few years, and his overall numbers took a nose dive last year too, as soon as he left Dodgers staidum. Last year he had a 1.52 WHIP, he's 36 years old, and he has a big contract. No thanks. I like how people just assume that pitchers will be good in Wrigley if they get ground balls.
