    I've gotta be honest. No offense, but I can't believe some of the things some of us are finding as important. He doesn't have enough sac flies? Well, Aramis Ramirez has none so far this year. Does that scare us to death? On a Reds radio braodcast, Marty Brenneman mentioned that stat, but said someone in the Reds organization did some research and found that Dunn had 9 homers in those at bats, which is actually as good as 18 sac flies. I'm guessing that would pretty much lead the league. If you don't want Adam Dunn because his power and patience hinders him from making "productive outs" then I think you are outsmarting yourself. This needs to be posted every time Dunn's name is brought up. Well said. Very well said, although the 9 homers is really way better than 18 sac flies since they generally dont result in outs.

    I think it's pretty unlikely that anyone who's capable of hitting .330 against righties would hit .100 against lefties.

    Unless you improve your walk rate/power, obp and slg will decline when avg goes down. His power and walk rate were indeed declining somewhat, but not as much as it might appear.

    if you're figuring slg yourself, it's easier to use this: hits + doubles + (2* triples) + (3* HRs) sometimes it's hard to find the number of singles hit without subtracting all the xbh's from h's.

    the chiefs manager got tossed tonight granato had a check swing on 2-2 and got hit by the pitch he clearly didnt go around, but the catcher picked up the ball and tagged him out anthony argued a little, but not much. garcia, the chiefs manager, came down from third base and argued with the umpire pretty emphatically and got tossed quickly. then he walked over and covered home plate up with dirt. the crowd loved it, as did i.

    You know Harden has been with Oakland all along, they got Haren from STL, right? Oops...my bad. :oops: One letter does make a whole lot of difference. this expert votes that it doesnt make a difference and that you are okay

    They also just cleared a pretty decent amount of payroll. Couple that with the five million or so they had to play with before the season even started, and then they have space to make a pretty significant move if they so choose. Okay, I just had a chance to look at the numbers, and I don't see Oakland clearing any payroll. A's send: Byrnes= 2.2 million Bradford= 1.4 million Total= 3.6 million A's recieve: Payton= 3.5 million Kennedy= 2.2 million Witasick= .316 million Cash= -? Total= 6.016 million - cash from Boston So in order to free up any payroll, they need to get at least 2.5+ million from Boston. So even if the Red Sox pay all of Payton's salary, Oakland doesn't free up more than a million(500k in essence since half has been paid) in payroll. don't forget that san diego is paying part of payton's contract, too. That's true, SD is paying 2.65 million. However, like I said before, even if Oakland doesn't have to pay a cent of Payton's deal, the most money they free up is a million. The A's do indeed pay nothing to Payton, but once you consider that they sent some money to Colorado, this looks pretty empty. Randomly shuffling the players, basically.

    wtg luis Some of these new guys with the Chiefs had better hit, or they are going to be awful.

    Everything is cool, so long as the Tribune doesn't cut payroll, which Hoops has said is a legit possibility. If he wanted to drop in and say that was no longer a possibility, I surely wouldn't complain.

    i thought the exact same thing

    Rumor is Eric Byrnes is going to be traded soon, possibly to Pittsburgh for Craig Wilson. Some are speculating that Adam Melhuse might be included since he's a real solid back-up catcher, which isn't really necessary when you have Jason Kendall.
  24. treebird
    Yup, that's about right. The Cards will get Wagner for next to nothing and then re-sign him cheap for next year and he'll never get hurt again.

    I'm hoping this doesn't come off as creepy. Where do Chief players live? I'm not asking for an address, obviously, but what kind of living situations (apartment, hotel, mansion, cardboard box) do the players have? Do you all have similar living situations? Thanks!
