    He refused to take his position. I can't recall another player ever doing that. Yes, he finally went to left and found out it wasn't so bad. But, a player refusing to go to the position the manager assigned him to offends me. Maybe I'm wrong, but I just don't think that happened. He didn't refuse anything when push came to shove. No he definitely refused at first and eventually stopped whining and accepted it. I seem to remember it dragging on a while before he finally agreed to do it

    he's kind of right

    maybe he's feeling the pressure of knowing that this is his contract year

    wait, so now beane is a genius with trading used up pitchers....but only if they're a product of his farm system. in other words, he drafts pitchers who he knows will be awesome for a few years and then fall apart for no reason years later got it

    Yeah, my first thought was how weird it was to see an intra-division trade. I don't know if it's that weird when it's 2 established players of comperable value getting traded for one another. It'd be weird if there were stars trading teams, or a firesale trade from one team to another. When they play the same position and both teams are in the division race, it's pretty weird. This seems like a "let's make a move just to make a move and try to spark this sinking ship" type of deal

    im assuming that promoting sandberg fits in with the "lose as many games as possible" idea

    that was a great post, but you know his reply is going to be something like this- it's funny because most of the time people aren't even arguing with his points, they're just telling him to stop bringing up soriano. he doesn't get it though, he just tuns it back into a soriano argument.

    umm, did you not even read my post? i said i liked fukudome there. jesus dude. you're trying to find ways to talk about soriano and it's pathetic. actually it's getting kind of creepy.
  11. 17 Seconds
    So let's see. Fukudome gets moved to the leadoff spot and finally starts hitting again. He's doing awesome there and what does Lou do? Move him to third for no reason. Reed Johnson is awful against RHP, so what does Lou do? Bat him leadoff against one of the best RHP in baseball. This guy has got to go.

    I suspect he WAS sleeping. Permanently. no he was dead perhaps he was just playing dead

    i don't doubt that, but i find it hard to believe the difference in defense is big enough to make up for a 100+ point differential in ops how is mark reynolds' defense? because he's outhit zimmerman by quite a bit also. so have chipper and even casey blake. zimmerman is actually right in the middle of the pack in terms of offense from qualifying NL 3B it seems like zimmerman got in because of his hot start and hitting streak while his overall numbers were ignored

    bucher is also saying it's not happening

    i'd like for wrigley23 to explain to me why we now have a leadoff hitter who has been hitting badass and drawing walks....but we still aren't scoring runs. i mean, it was all soriano's fault, right?

    unless it has ryan theriot as an above average defender, i'm not sold.
  19. 17 Seconds
    Sorry you don't like defensive metrics. and i'm sorry that you think they actually mean something Seriously? You really think that they mean nothing? I'll agree that they're not perfect by any means, but to say they're meaningless seems awfully ignorant. i think they mean very little, yeah. sorry that i don't buy into a stat that is all over the place from year to year and has ryan theriot has an above average defensive shortstop this season. i guess his awful range actually works to his benefit somehow. kudos to uzr for picking that up. the funny part is that im sure rasmus is a fine center fielder. the problem is that uzr doesn't tell you that. oh well, i guess im just ignorant because i don't buy into a garbage stat that is beyond flawed *runs over to cardinals board to post ryan theriot's uzr*

    boozer is a free agent after next season too, so they'd wouldnt be able to sign him and another big name.

    I wonder if we could send them some relievers for Barmes if they land Sanchez. why do you have such a hard on for barmes? -we need a middle infielder who can hit. -we dont have a lot of money to spend -Brames is a middle infielder who can hit. -Barmes makes 1.6 mil for the season, which is halfway over Barmes has terrible career numbers and has only been good for about his last 700 at-bats. His non-Coors numbers during those "good" 700 at-bats: 2008- .249/.281/.363 (.643) 2009- .266/.308/.418 (.725) career overall- .266/.305/.418 (723) i wouldn't be interested unless we got him for like a ptbnl later, which won't be the case. pass.

    seriously, just put this dude on the dl. it's obviously his knee is effecting him, he's been trash for like 2 months, and fox is raking. there's absolutely no reason NOT to DL him. unless of course you don't want his knee to heal and you want to see a .700 ops in thel ineup over like a .900+ ops.
