    that's what i've never understood. people want to say miles can play multiple positions, but if we can deal with him playing short, we can throw fontenot there too.

    He's a passable option at 2B vs LHP, not that I want him around, and can play a bunch of positions. None of that justifies the signing, but I'm guessing that was the reasoning behind it. he's played 7 games in the of in his whole career. 15 at third. he can play short and second and maybe get thrown into a couple other spots, but he's not an awesome guy who can play a bunch of positions.

    where does he go now? i've got a draft in a couple days and i have no idea what to think of him. i'm tempted to just assume he'll go too early and write him off, but this could be an amazing value pick in some drafts. well?

    John Brown was such a bad ass. he really was, but i have a sneaking suspicion that a lot of kansas students wouldn't actually like him all that well if they knew much about him. i personally think violent uprisings are awesome, but i'm somewhat outside the norm, sadly.
  5. treebird
    yes plz
  6. treebird
    that is correct, sir. at least until fukudome shows he's awesome this year and needs to move up.

    i've got the same thing, superfast emails on games 1 and 2, nothing yet on game 3.

    i've been through thrice, grabbed tickets for june 19th and 20th against the indians, and then just snagged 6 bleachers against the white sox.
  9. treebird
    this sucks. i have class all morning an a job interview in the afternoon, so i'm mos def out of the loop on tickets this year. hopefully ryan is right.

    Except the guy at the top. No, it benefits him too, at least financially. Wait... The union overriding the player's own decisions is a benefit? Wow, who knew big brother was so benevolent. you know it's not that simple though. as soon as you do this once, teams will be all over players who want to be traded, telling them there's no one interested at the salary and he needs to give some cash away. it's a completely unacceptable precedent to set, and the players' union was completely right to refuse a-rod's attempt to screw over teammates and competitors.

    Of all the images you still have from that, it's this one? Do you have sleeping hendry? i was going for obscure as possible. sleeping hendry is definitely better, though. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v386/edstevensiscool/nine.jpg

    Last year has nothing to do with it, that's why I told you his cumulative two year OPS was .865. I was using '06 and '07 because he combined to play 2 half seasons, was a full time outfielder, and that wasn't his career year in a hitters park playing DH like last year was. i don't know how much i like a system that says a half season of an .865 ops from a corner outfielder in worth 10 million dollars. i mean, that's what we're paying him this year. if he hits 285/365/500 in 81 games, are we breaking even? of course not.

    it has nothing to do with being a heterosexual male as opposed to anything else. it has to do with the kind of activities you're engaging in. http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/rr5402a1.htm#tab1

    when looking at guys like aaron, you have to take into account that steroids weren't as good or as properly used then. it's very reasonable that the same degree of cheating would get a player much less in the way of results in that time period.

    stop having horrible acts and maybe i'll be slightly less mad when you f up the field

    if by luck you mean two of the other good teams in that division being moved to another division then i agree. I think you are selling them way short. They were the second best team in the division last year by Pythwins. maybe the red sox will take a (small) step back, but the rays should be the same or better and the yankees should significantly better this year than last. toronto just doesn't have the offense it takes to do anything interesting in that division. they should look into joining forces with the orioles, who have the opposite problem.
  23. treebird
    it's impossibly to say about arod in particular, but i'd say it's very likely that there are a good number of players who quit taking steroids after the 2003 season. nobody wants to get busted.
  24. treebird
    or gathright and so taguchi make the roster. jesus, don't even say that.
  25. treebird
    this either means that hoffpauir makes the roster or we sign someone wholly unacceptable to back up 3b/ss/2b. let's hope it's hoffpauir. let's bet it's someone wholly unacceptable.
