    Thanks Dude....I appreciate the help... :good: 100 AAA games....almost 3 1/2 years in pro ball? Its time to see if the boy can play MLB... ..and the money we owe Sori is lost...We cant get it back. Have a 'Sori appreciation day' and then release him. Let him misjudge one more ceremonial flyball like Kerry Wood got one more strikeout... We have to pay him either way. So we can release him or we can continue to watch him miss balls in left field. Its our choice.. release a guy who's OPS-ing over .800 with a WAR of 1.4 already this season? i don't think you know what you're saying. i know this is a joke account and all, but i can't resist.

    Would you rather play the Thunder or Spurs? I said shut up it's going to get better. lebron, in his final act of the year, will set fire to the entire ghetto in one night.

    if he throws a perfect game his trade value better go through the roof.

    Anyone notice that Fergie said that Missouri State was in Springfield, Mass?

    but it's been like that at every level and hasn't truly hurt him, yet. sure, there are few players who can be successful with as high a k rate, but jackson is a rare talent himself. i'm thinking curtis granderson. I don't think anyone has major concerns about Jackson's K rate hurting him at the levels it was at prior to Iowa(22.7%). It's now that he's at Iowa and facing some more savvy pitchers that's cause for concern(30% in 450 PAs). what's he slugging in those 450 pas?

    It's not just NSBB. But it's pretty hilarious how meatball-y NSBB gets when it comes to Lebron.. sometimes you just have to go with your instincts, right? i mean, it's fun to make fun of players that pass the ball to udonis haslem. but anyway, i refuse to pretend like he's anything but the heartless, soulless, dick-less Golem of Akron that he is, and i will continue to take pleasure in his defeat. besides, it's good for sports when there are characters that you hate

    Here are the top 10 in P/PA from last year and their minor and major league strikeout rate (I didn't include Fukudome since he doesn't have minor league statistics): Curtis Granderson- 18.9% minor league, 22.1% major league Jayson Werth- 20.1% minor league, 24.5% major league Bobby Abreu- 18.5% minor league, 18.3% major league Carlos Santana-14.8% minor league, 19.2% major league Jose Bautista-19.8% minor league, 19.4% major league Jamey Carroll-9.6% minor league, 13.7% major league Mark Reynolds-23.2% minor league, 33.1% major league Dustin Pedroia-8.6% minor league, 8.6% major league Brett Gardner-16.6% minor league, 16.8% major league Kevin Youkillis-18.4% minor league, 18.4% major league Brett Jackson has a career 24.8% minor league strikeout rate (close to 30% in AAA). Some of that is due to his patient approach, but it's unusual and not very encouraging for his rate to be so high, and to have such a spike against more advanced pitchers. where does adam dunn fall, though? but anyway, we'll make a bet. if jackson hasn't had a relatively productive major league career in 10 years, i owe you a coke.

  18. Magnetic Curses
    yeah, i agree, he'll strike out a lot at any level, but his power and patience numbers are good enough at every level to assume that the k rate is something we'll have to live with and not indicative of poor pitch recognition. people are so caught up with that k rate as an indicator of future failure that they don't see the rest of it. jackson will be just fine.
  19. Magnetic Curses
    i hope romo's career is over. next time, hit that hanger, soriano, if you can't do that, you aren't good for anything.

    If you watched another team for a full season that wasn't yours - almost every game and almost every inning - you'd see weird and/or bad crap happening to every single one of them. No, i don't believe that such terrible things that have happened to the cubs happen to any other team. We''re talking historic calamities. They are all cubs tales.
  21. Magnetic Curses
    put that on your long list of things that never ever happens to other teams

    i read that as jenny mccarthy and thought you were about to disparage the polio vaccine as being full of bull testicles.

    if he is, he will undoubtedly suffer injury after injury, including but not limited to getting a line drive off his good eye and his fingers mashed up in a wine press or losing a leg to a great white shark.
