    why? It's not tryout camp. He failed early and why should he replace anyone? exactly. Murton was brought up to be a pinchhitter and an occassional starter. That is what he should be unless he proves himself differently. How exactly is Murton supposed to prove himself when he gets 8 AB's a week (which is about what he would get as "a pinchhitter and an occasional starter")? That is the hue and cry of every bench player. Everybody can't start every day. You prove yourself when given a starting position at the start of this year (he failed here) and you prove yourself when given limited at-bats by hitting well. Murton will get more at-bats if he hits well in the at-bats he gets. Patience and quality will rise to the top. I said the same thing with everybody's favorite--Choi--that if he was really a quality guy, the cream would rise to the top. It never did. If Murton is a big time hitter--he will show it and get more at-bats.

    uh, Lee does not equal Murton. Man, I like the kid, but some here need to get a clue. Murton is a utility guy who may become a starter if he improves. Get over it.

That is what he should be unless he proves himself differently. Oh god. Compare last season's stats of our entire OF and tell me who the top three are. Until then, try to talk about something else. You may make sense that way. You talk like an ape. I assume you are making a caveman joke, right? Yes, no harm intended.

    Has a pitcher ever won the Cy Young and not made the all-star game?

    Murton just got called up a couple days ago, and you guys are already having a hissy fit because he hasn't started? The love for Murton is approaching the same zeal as the love for the long gone Choi.

    The Cards may finish second if the Brewers spirit is broken. The Cubs will win this division by 5+ games. Cards starting pitching sucks and their good pen will wilt under all the innings, as somebody already mentioned.

    Stece Phillips is very good, he just can't keep his hands off the ladies.
  10. Peoriaman
    Jones is playing very well and Pie is helping us win. That is what I want. Lou is doing the right thing.
  11. Peoriaman
    No kidding. That is what fans do here--bitch and moan.

    Some people have such a hatred for Rothchild as well as certain other players/coaches that they can't give them credit when they do well. This seems to be a characteristic of internet message boards. It shows a lack of maturity in posters.

    I love Lou, but why does he use sugar in his coffee?
  14. Peoriaman
    no.
  15. Peoriaman
    well, I see Duncan has ruined Carpenter's arm.
  16. Peoriaman
    yes to these questions. What a strange way to start a thread.
  17. Peoriaman
    what happens if any starter on any team doesn't "produce"? You go to the next guy on the list. That is what we will do if/when that happens.
  18. Peoriaman
    so if we have 6 good starters, we immediately trade one? Have we not learned anything about starpitchers the last few years?
  19. Peoriaman
    Mathews has not denied using steriods, just made a no comment. That says it all.
  20. Peoriaman
    Hendry "rebuilt" this offseason without trading away young players. This has been a success.
  21. Peoriaman
    good signing. Big time arm.
  22. Peoriaman
    Being optimistic on this board is unacceptable!
  23. Peoriaman
    Grace was much better than a nice hitter. He was also a terrific defensive player.

    A major league scout on Ward: "Has the body of a 45 year old, but he can flat out rake righthanders. Get him out against lefties. A great pick-up for the Cubs."

    The Angels guy has a bad elbow. They traded him before it went pop.
