    If Hendry misses out on Peavy because him and Lou are obsessed with adding some crappy right fielder I'm seriously going to flip out.

    I bet DeRosa doesn't go anywhere.

    in recent years yes but I don't think it is this year especially when you can get a better closer in Wood for less yes, if by "better" you mean "not better"

    Man, you people need to read the thread This was proclaimed false a while ago by Bruce. among others. this has been explained like 432 times in this thread over the past 12 hours Yea. Nice attitude. I have extermely limited time online and I'm going to spend it reading over 64 pages so I don't have to risk offending posters who apparently are privy to every fact on this subject. You guys take yourselves waaaaay too seriously. This is a game. Lighten up. i think you think i was more annoyed at it than i really was. all i'm saying is that instead of making assumptions wouldn't it be easier to just glance back over the past few pages? you don't half to read everything, just scroll through each page until you see links. that's what i do. it takes like 2 seconds to find the articles where actual info is posted

    well if you combine the 2 peavy threads we're over halfway there.

    Maddux is my favorite player of all time. But Pedro is the best pitcher in the last 20 years. Certainly when he was on the mound. Greg might have him beat in total value because of durability, I guess. Pedro has a strong argument for best pitcher ever for when he was on the mound, though. an era at 2 for 1,000 innings? Pedro is not that good. it has been written, researched, and argued (and well) that you could call pedro in his prime the most dominant pitcher ever. that doesn't mean his whole career, that just means during his peak years. his 2000 season was insane

    well we don't know what the package is so it's impossible to judge.

    A bunch of places are reporting that the Mets are about to lock up K-Rod for something around 3/37. That would be a good deal for the Mets considering what other closers have gotten in recent years.

    Somebody on another board was saying that Dave Kaplan said on his show that a "very good source" told him that Dunn and his agent have been "begging" the Cubs to take a look at him and that he really wants to play for the Cubs. Keep in mind this is Kaplan we're talking about.

    all that matters right now is that towers himself said there was a deal on the table. what some writers talk about means nothing, unless you think towers was lying...which makes no sense.

    What rollercoaster? We're at the same place we were 3 hours ago when everyone was excited
  14. 17 Seconds
    Do you think Hendry is the one waiting to pull the trigger? Well thats pretty much exactly what Towers said
  15. 17 Seconds
    Argh! Again, that was posted earlier. It was BS then also. Even Bruce came to NSBB and posted about it.
  16. 17 Seconds
    ??? Did you even read it? That's really old, and it says nothing negative aout the Cubs chances of getting Peavy.

    He's not? to me "very good" means you're in the upper echelon of players. if an .800 OPS 2B is "very good", then what does that make a .725 OPS 2B? good?

    marquis has negative value and i wouldn't classify derosa as a "very good" player. not unless he duplicates his 2008...which won't happen all things considered, dero in 2008 was fantastic, in 2007 and 2006 he was merely very good...350 wOBA at second base and paying about $1M per win over replacement, thats freakin great i don't think an .800 ops guy can ever be considered "very good" unless he's a gold glove shortstop or catcher and/or steals bases like jacoby ellsbury or hes merely an adequate middle infielder or catcher so an average 2B with an .800 ops is a "very good" player now?

Because his OPS was .869 last year. DeRosa's was .857. Obviously, Pedroia's much more valuable, but DeRosa was very good for a second baseman last year. i already said that he was very good last year.
  21. 17 Seconds
    then again, trading derosa would make milton bradley look less attractive.
  22. 17 Seconds
    Giles isn't going anywhere. He vetoed a few trades last season, including one to the Cubs, as I recall. Yup and one to the Red Sox as well.

    maybe not negative value, but i think it would be more of a "we'll take his salary off your hands" type thing. i think at this point hendry doesn't expect to actually get anything back for marquis. you're right though, the phils might need to give up another lower level guy
