I don't get this. If we are just going to throw around thoughtless insults that have no bearing on the discussion, let's just not post. I think this thread has enough pointless sarcasm by now. lol i get it the sarcasm guy doesnt like sarcasm brilliant Actually, I wasn't joking. This is getting a bit too juvenile. oh god stop youre killing me lololol Maybe you should be Sarcastic. When was the last time you wrote a post that had to do with baseball? Take it to the social forum. i write lots of posts about baseball. for example, page four of this thread.

any Soriono predictions for 2007? my prediction is that it will be june before you figure out how to spell his name

i just want to point out that AramisRamirez is the poster who (i believe) first used the phrase "inject heroin into my forehead," so dap to him.

the only reason jones isn't seen as strictly a platoon player is that he hasn't played on a team smart enough to do that with him yet.

what is your point? how about this Lee 04 OPS 125, IsoD 61 05 OPS 110, IsoD 59 06 OPS 125, IsoD 55 Soriano 04 OPS 98, IsoD 44 05 OPS 110, IsoD 41 06 OPS 135, IsoD 74 (go ahead and take away the IBBs, it's still a vast improvement in an area Lee is getting worse at) not sure why K/BB ratio is in the discussion. we're not talking about pitchers and I thought the general view was strikeouts are not a strong consideration amongst those with the sabr mindset. Just presenting the facts that Soriano and Lees production is a lot more similar than people think. The K/BB tab on the comparison was just random, I was scrolling through all of them looking at the differences. I really don't get your point though. So you are saying that Soriano had one fluke patience year because he was hitting in front of Felipe Lopez/Jose Vidro/Royce Clayton and Nick Johnson/Jose Vidro? If you do isolate out his IBB from 16 to his normal 5 or so, then that takes his IsoD down 10 points give or take a few. So on the whole you are saying that his patience is worse than Lee's, right? 2006: Lee - 27.2 VORP Soriano - 48.2 VORP 2005: Lee - 24.7 VORP Soriano - 39.5 VORP Soriano is vastly superior your numbers for 2006 are wrong. bp has carlos lee split into two different players since he changed teams in midseason. lee as a brewer had 27.2 vorp, and lee as a ranger had 20.0 vorp, giving him a total of 47.2 vorp, making him very comparable to soriano. also, wasn't soriano playing second base in 2005? that would make it kind of hard to compare their vorp's for that year since they are no longer playing different positions.

Nhoe

He "smashed the ball" after the third quarter ended, apparently. the only way that should be a T is if you literally smash the ball and it pops and they have to go get a new one

i say we change the title to "cool people talkin bout stuff" and people can just guess as to whether this is actually a thread about soriano or not

chocolate milk is a terrible mixer, definitely apple juice if you can't drink your liqor straight Are you freaking kidding me? Peppermint schnapps and chocolate milk... tastes just like those Junior Mints you get at the movie theater. brb doing shots of skol like a real man

the ideas you've formed based on the 27 times you've seen soriano bat = facts I don't think so.

Right on, man! All this twaddle about "stats" is just one more attempt by our oppressively monolithic Western culture to subvert your deep-seated natural instincts and to denigrate the rightful primacy of your sociocultural background and condition by subjugating you with it's fascistic "ideas" and "facts." This cult of heartless, dreamkilling fascists plots to rip us out of the rich cultural tapestry into which we were born, and to rend us from the abiding connection to our cultural roots which is the source of all truly abiding nourishment and sustenance. Thousands of endangered sac bunts die every day, and what do we do? But you can see through this--you and perhaps you alone can see through their imperalistic claims of "objective truth" and obsession with illusory "facts." You and perhaps you alone can see that they wish to tear you from your natural impulses-- the exhilaration of exciting plays unmediated by reflection. You and St. Morgan may be our last hope-- to protect the sanctity of pristine baseball-in-the-moment experience and anecdotes-around-the-fire from the fetid conspiracy of these boot-licking statistics lovers! Down with the fascism of facts! Or not. NEW FAVORITE POSTER

who would you rather do, j.d. drew or alfonso soriano jd more like JUST DO (me) WAIT WAIT i want to change my answe i choose soriano (because i know that he sucks) Well, just like people are saying they would rather we sign both of them......I'm thinking threesome. im shocked that the guy with the kevin avatar would suggest a 3some

Prove it... and you can't use any stats! I WATCH THE GAMES

ok guys im finally caught up and ready to fight (sorry it took me so long) i hate soriano because he is ugly WHO WANTS TO DISAGREE

go look at izturis' career numbers

Honestly, the Drew thing is possible, but not all that probable. The Zito thing is ridiculous. well, i wouldn't be surprised if zito or boras called hendry personally and said he'd be interested in playing for the cubs. more suitors = better contract if i was a free agent, id desperately want hendry to start making crazy offers at me, even if i hated the cubs and would never plat for them

hahaha might have been a hold there

they both taste the same, dont believe the coporate lies

A large portion of the problem with the DeRosa deal is the fact that Hendry thinks it's a good idea for him to come be our second baseman.
