    kane is on pace for like 110 points now

    If that was true then they won't be after Bradley and others. They can add salary, just not long term salaries. In other words, they are going to be giving out contracts of 5 or more years

    I'm sure this will get a few of you excited. Of course, doesn't mean anything if Hendry isn't interested in bringing Dunn to the Cubs. http://chicagocubsonline.com/archives/2008/12/cubsrumors1219.php

    this is like the dumbest thread ever. have we not learned about doing these things? anyways, i doubt we're the powerhouse we were last year. i'd say we're about a 90 win team... maybe less

    hmm. they might be favorites in the east (just because i don't think philly is going to get the same production from their bullpen and from moyer), but in the nl? did k rod say they were the favorites in the league? i thought he said division favorites. either way he's dumb considering the fact that he's a reliever. remember last year when they got santana and everyone was all over their nuts in the nl? i guess they don't learn the next time he gets chesty (which is absrud anyways considering what they've done the past 2 seasons) just ask him aobut the rotation. it looks pretty ugly right now.

    i read an article the other day about drayton mclane and he was basically saying the fans don't need to worry and they need to remember how good they were in the second half and that's what he expects them to be like all year next season. okay drayton

    I for one am going to laugh my ass off if Teixeira spurns one of the winningest and highest profile franchises in MLB in favor of spending the rest of his career in baseball purgatory so he can add an extra $10 or $20M to what is already guaranteed to be a contract that will put an end to all of his monetary needs for several lifetimes. i agree, and that's why i still think he ends up in boston. this is all just posturing. it's not like we're talking about a 3-4 year deal. we're talking about 8 or more years and essentially the rest of his productive baseball life. at least with baltimore he's play for loyal fans and be kind of a hometown hero.... plus they could compete relatively soon. washington just seems like a nightmare destination.

    whether you like the sport or not, you at least have to respect the fact that hockey is pretty much the only sport left that is not full of greedy, arrogant, primadonnas and the players actually care more about the sport than the money. hockey players are generally legit bullVeterans Committee. explain. yes they get paid a lot and some of them are dbags, but they all care about the sport before anything else. Explain where you're getting this child-like fantasy from. Sean Avery clearly cares about the sport before anything else. did i ever say there weren't exceptions? i said "generally". of course that are exceptions and what happened to avery? oh that's right, the stars won't let him back on the team. if that was an nfl player he would have gotten a raise for being so entertaining

    yeah it must suck to be offered a chanceto attend a once in a lifetime event and get paid or it

    i jst like how scarey is ignoring amost everything everyone is saying but then cherrypicks one post out of 10 that he feels like he might actually be able to argue.

    You'd be surprised. If you have access to HD, you've gotta watch it. The Penguins/Sabres outside game was incredible on HD, whether youl ike hockey or not. The snow falling during the game was amazing looking. My brother hates hockey and he watched the whole thing. I heard of a klot of peopleo n TV saying the same stuff. If you're got HD, you've gotta watch it

    winner plus like the other dude, the difference over the course of a full season is pretty marginal i can't believe we're arguing about ba w/risp. it's like cubs.com

    Sounds like Wren and the Braves are pretty pissed- http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/8954110/Sources:-Furcal-picks-Dodgers-over-Braves http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news?slug=ti-furcalbravesoffer121708&prov=yhoo&type=lgns

    I don't really think Furcal backed out of anything with the Cubs though. I think they just weren't willing to match LA. It just kind of sucked that LA swopped in at the last second

    What am I dismissing? I'm not guessing what Pie's ceiling, I'm telling you that as of right now, Baldleli hasn't proven that he's the guy that Meph claims he definitely is. I never said that Baldelli can't be that guy or even that it's unreasonable to expect him to be that guy this season. I'm just saying that you can't say he is that guy right now, as if he's already reached and that and proven that he'll be that guy over the course of a full season.

    how do you know he's that player when he's healthy? you're guessing. because the last time he was healthy he was that player and the two years before that when he was healthy he was on the path to becoming that player and was just 22. not to mention he was pretty much that player in limited action this year. he also has more raw talent than pie. his tools better pies across the board. you may want to call it a guess, but it's an educated guess that's more likely than PECOTA, DEXTERMORGAN or ZiPS. You mean in 2006 for like 350 at-bats? So that means he's that player now? You know perfectly well that 350 at-bats proves nothing other than the fact that you can go on anextended hot streak. Mike Fontenot OPSd over .900 in a similar sample size this year. you think baldelli is going to be that guy. fine, i'm not even arguing that. but to say he already is that player is kind of dumb when he clearly is not. nobody is denying that he has the potential to be. but as of right now, he's not. it's all speculation. isn't that what a ceiling is anyways? so basically you're saying that baleddli's ceiling is the same as pie's ceiling, but that baldelli is more likely to reach it. good job but you're meph, so you must be right

    ridiculous. Not really... If Rocco could ever stay healthy (which is a longshot, obviously) he's probably a .290/.330/.490 player with plus defense and plus base running. That's Pie's ceiling. umm you just said he "already is" that player, which he clearly is not.
  23. 17 Seconds
    Supposedly they had a verbal or "gentlemen's" agreement with the Braves but Furcal and Kinzer backed out. nice
