    So, anyone think Jeff Francoeur is a good outfielder? I never did hear the other side of the discussion. :grin:

    My cousin's brother's uncle's dad's barber saw Bedard land and gave him a hair cut. Apparently Bavasi wants him to get rid of his side burns before a trade is done. Take it with a grain of salt.

    :shock: You rang? Wow, I didn't think about that when I did that. My bad. :doh: You don't suck, you just stink a little sometimes. I keed I keed! Dont ban me...I didn't do it! It was the one armed man!

    What do you have that supports your arguments? That you have MLB EI and watch more games? That you played in college/high school? Sometimes the numbers...are the facts. And the fact that people agree with you means nothing. At one point in time it was a great idea to look at HR and RBI's as the sole offensive statistic and a lot of people thought it was the gospel truth. Thats been proven wrong. Again... I don't want to fight with everyone...But I don't just look at triple crown numbers trust me.. .But honeslty.. sit down and think.. He is only 24... If I wanted to I could come on here and say Felix Pie is the worst CF in baseball...But no one could convince me that he is the 2nd worst RF in baseball. Could someone convince you that, say Jake Peavy would be a better fit than Johan Santana? Or that Kahlil (sp?) Greene is better than Furcal? Or did you know that already? Not being mean or anything.

    vladdy doesnt have much bbs to fall back on and PECOTA thinks his power is a ticking bomb (dunno why). not slugging 500 this year. dunno why. Sometimes it looks like Vladdy got Dawson's knees implanted in him in his sleep.

    Wow...

    Anyone know that Duke and UNC have some sort of rivalry going on? I couldn't tell, ESPN only told me that 1,572 times so far during the game.

    Hey Meph, when did you get into the "beyond the regular stats" stats? Did you just wake up one day and go, BBB sucks, I like YYY better. Kindergarten? In the Nursery?

    I just wanted to be part of this historic thread...before it gets locked. JesseG. relax, its just numbers.

    Can't wait to see Roberts in a Cubs uniform by this weekend! Its getting done, book it!

    AL East Boston (Fenway/Cell) Tampa (Wrigley [the day after the Cork game]) Toronto (Wrigley) Baltimore (Cell) AL Central White Sox (Cell/Wrigley) Cleveland (cell) Minnesota (cell) Detriot (in Detroit [vs Cubs]) AL West Oakland (Old Comiskey[bash Brothers!]/Wrigley [the Todd Walker slide game]) Seattle (cell/wrigley) I used to go to an entire M's/Sox series back in the day when Griffey was on the M's. Texas (Wrigley) I have seen every NL team at Wrigley in my life time, including the Expos and Nationals. I have probasbly seen the Reds/Cards/Astros the most (in that order). I have seen the Cubs in Cincy (GABP) and Milwaukee (County Farm Stadium/Miller) tons of times. I need to go to more away games.

    Nah, no GRIT. Theriot is fine anyway. He makes solid contact, and he hustles.

    #-o :shock: Wow...

    Sweet! I am gonna have to check that out tonight when I get home from work! Pretty much all Cubs games broadcast in the Chicagoland area will be HD now, except the rare few that will be on CLTV (I think its called CSN+).

    Hey Meph, if given the opportunity and money not an object...Greene or Furcal? Just curious.
  18. Burtonbell
    For the Twins sake I hope this trade works out for them. To trade your top pithcer away for peanuts and a possible #1 who is 18 right now seems pretty idiotic.
  19. Burtonbell
    Ok, so it seems more like a bunch of names that talent to me. Guerra looks to have the highest potential out of the bunch from what I have read and looked at so far.
  20. Burtonbell
    My sources tell me Angelos may nix the whole deal...Stay tuned. Ok, that doesn't seem to steep a price to pay. Or am I incorrect in my thinking?
  21. Burtonbell
    I need some convicing on Anderson, he doesn't seem like a good fit for this team as I see it.

    Ouch.

    I pulled out MLB2k7 last night, and he's only ranked an 82. I really don't know why we're trying to trade for an 82. derosa probably ranks an 81... marginal man...marginal I got Cabrera and Roberts through trades on my MLB2k7 and I just won the series. So, yeah. This trade will go down in the next 2-3 days. The paperwork is being filed and will be with Selig in a few days.

    Anything...? Hendry's Pants? Free tickets to Chicago's version of Wicked? Lifetime (free) subscription to Playboy? Hubcaps to a 1972 Pinto? Where will end man! :P
