I can't believe someone has actually pick Murton already.
-
I'd say the reason he gets infield hits is due more to the fact that he hits a lot of ground balls, not because of his speed.
-
Fontenot and I don't think it's even close. I often hear people say Murton is fairly fast and I just don't get where that's coming from.
-
This may just be semantics, but the new title of this thread is kind of inaccurate. MacPhail never said anything is dead. All he said was that a trade is unlikely before opening day.
-
I suspect that Belkast doesn't grasp the meaning of the word "brilliant".
-
I didn't even read this thread, but I'd say it's you're in trouble at a position when people are asking "Can Theriot actually be adequate?" That's like saying "Does anybody think that maybe one day possibly George Bush could potentially be not completely retared but only pretty [expletive]?"
-
As soon as I noticed they had Cinci winning 87 games I stopped reading that page.
-
Do the Rangers think they're competing this year or something?
-
Yeah, that's why I said PGA & Co. I think both of them are involved in this. I got an interesting e-mail from Jason Churchill earlier though, he said the people that the Cubs are fed up with right now are the O's financial attorney and Mike Flanagan, not MacPhail.
-
That's weeks (months maybe) old.
-
I just got this e-mail from Churchill: I think that there was never a realistic chance of this ever happening and the media blew it up way too much. We should have known that PGA & Co. wouldn't trade their golden boy.

How does my team look? Input is very appreciated.

How many teams are in this league? You're going to hit a ton but the pitching needs help pretty badly. You also look like on steals. I'd consider trading somebody like Braun or Pujols for pitching. Pujols is a health risk and for as high as Braun is going in drafts and the amount of value he has, there are a lot of variables with him. I'd sell on high on him. -
If walks or OPS is a category in that league, I wouldn't trade Hamels for Crawford. The only way I'd do it is if you're in desperate need of steals. And I take back my statement about Harden. I didn't realize he was "healthy". If he can pull a rabbit out of his ass and be healthy he'll be very valuable. I'd drop Longoria or Bruce as they probably won't see much time this year.

2004 CF - Corey Patterson 2B - Mark Grudzielanek RF - Sammy Sosa LF - Moises Alou 1B - Derek Lee 3B - Aramis Ramirez SS - Alex Gonzalez C - Michael Barrett ???? Plus Nomar, kind of. That lineup was pretty stacked. Oh yeah...I forgot about Nomar. ](*,) ](*,) With the addition of Nomar, that was definitely a stacked lineup. Thinking about the potential of that rotation is even more disgusting. I remember 2-3 games after we got Nomar, we were in Colorado for a series, and we were just basically taking turns batting around the order with everyone getting their hits, and I thought that there were basically no holes in the lineup. Whoops forgot about OBP. The lineup was like Patterson, CF Garciaparra, SS Alou, LF Sosa, RF Ramirez, 3B Lee, 1B Walker, 2B Barrett, C The OBP on that team wasn't all that bad. Ramirez- .373 Nomar- .364 Alou- .361 Lee- .356 Walker- .352 Barrett- .337 Barrett- 337 Sosa- .332 Patterson- .320 Not great, but not atrocious. I think we were right at the league average that year in terms of team OBP.

That really was the year to win it all.

Patterson Lee Nomar Alou Sosa Ramirez Grudz Barrett That lineup looked pretty deadly.

By the way, Bruce Levine said today that talks are in no way off and that the 2 teams are making a final push to try and get a trade done.

Rosenthal says the Cubs aren't interested: http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/7949132/Sources:-Roberts-to-Cubs-looking-unlikely

Did anybody notice that Rosenthal doesn't sound as sure in the updated article? http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/7949132/Sources:-Roberts-to-Cubs-looking-unlikely
-
it's a good thing he chimed in, what with the accuracy he's displayed up to this point and all YOU BITE YOUR TONGUE
-
Definitely Harden. The guy is a bum and even if he stays healthy (ha) he won't be getting many wins with that arocious offense. If Pedro stays healthy he's the type of guy that will be able to produce even if he can't throw hard.

I'm calling it right now: Roberts is a Cub by Friday.
