    remember dodgerblues? that place is hilarious right now. apparently you can use racial slurs openly and nobody cares.

    interesting i thought so. but unless i missed something (which i doubt, considering all the attention this story has got) the media didn't pick up on this. That's because reading anything into that statement at all is preposterous. not really. it would be kind of weird for him to compare an injection to tic tacs.

    Aaron Miles 2/5 Mark DeRosa traded to Cleveland is the biggest Cubs blunder this offseason (even bigger than letting Wood walk), and is probably one of the 5 dumbest moves this offseason. Fontenot could do a similar job starting for a fraction of the cost. Fontenot can't play right field when Bradley is hurt.

    i still think the giants would be the favorites in that division if they signed him

    i'd put my money on manny not being on an opening day roster
  6. 17 Seconds
    yeah but the word blunder in itself was overkill

    or people who don't trust bradley to stay healthy

    Ryan Dempster that remains to be seen but it could definitely end up that way. at least he was legitmately good last season, So was Estaban Loaiza with the white sox in 2003. Then the rest of the time he's been legitmately terrible i never said dempster would or would not end up good or bad. just that you can't say yet whether or not that was an awful contract. it looks bad right now, but we don't know. desmpter could regress quite a bit from last season and still make the contract "okay". If he has like a 1.30 WHIP and a 3.90 ERA it wouldn't be that bad and those numbers aren't unrealistic

    or just outright wrong Especially when it's only a 2y at 20m deal if he doesn't play 125 plus games. i still haven't seen where that is coming from. the only thing i've seen is that he only has to spend less than 90 days on the DL in 2009 to guarantee the 3rd year.

    well closer contracts are always bad, but compared to other closers the k-rod and fuentes ones were normal

    Ryan Dempster that remains to be seen but it could definitely end up that way. at least he was legitmately good last season, as opposed to have gotten lucky with a flukey era or something.... like when the astros traded for jason jennings and said he'd be a solid number 2 starter.

    Aaron Miles 2/5 i don't see how you can call a 5 million dollar commitment the biggest blunder of the offseason.

    this was a weird quote from lou. he must have little confidence in bradey's legs if he feels it's amazing that they still are okay after like a week

    that too while we're on that topic, who would that award go to? derek lowe for 4/60? burnett for 5/80? renteria for 2/18? i feel like i'm missing someone

    Personally I'm hoping Manny is on the list. that would be nice but manny is pretty much hated already. i want the golden boy to be named so i can watch the media react to it.
  16. 17 Seconds
    I'd give anything for Greg Maddux, David Wells, and Hector Villanueva to be on the list. why?
  17. 17 Seconds
    calling it the biggest "blunder" of the offseason is a little overkill
  18. 17 Seconds
    wow the rangers are a mess
  19. 17 Seconds
    not really the place for that suit, joakim

    i don't think anyone's flipping out, but hendry's prized offseason possession, who is notorious for getting hurt, got hurt after his first at bat of ST. it's not exactly a good start to his tenure as a cub. it happened before the game, and i owuldn't call a tight quad "getting hurt". still thohg, you're right. even when he's healthy, he's not really "healthy"

    i'd give anything for jeter to be on this list.

    unless he puts up his career numbers. then he'll be like the 4th or 5th best hitter on the team. gtyty Read my post again. I never said I didn't expect him to be good, I just don't think it's a foregone conclusion that he'll be a great hitter. He's been a great hitter for about his last full season's worth of at-bats. Before then he wasn't great for a corner outfielder. His career OPS+ is 118, which would have been tied for 6th best on the Cubs last season.... hence my comment about him probably being like the 4th or 5th best hitter on the Cubs if he performed to his career averages. Like I said, I'm not expecting that. I'm expecting him to put up numbers similar to what Aramis put up last year.... rate-wise.

    i don't think anybody is really freaking out aout this specific injury. it's just funny that he already is having leg problems

    but how could this happen..... hendry made sure he was healthy in the offseason
