    You can't be serious.... :shock:

    In 2000, Antonio Alfonseca was 45/49 in save opportunites. His peripherals indicated that he wasn't as good as his save numbers indicated. Those peripherals proved to be predictive. In 2001, he was 28/44 and in 2002 he as 19/28. While I hope Dempster is as good as his 33/35 might lead some to believe, there is enough reason to be concerned.

    That's a nice looking third place team. I can't believe that anyone would be in favor of bringing back Burnitz, especially at 7 million dollars!

    Jimenez would be an excellent bench option. He has a 267/350/382 career line. He's played 386 games at 2b, 43 at 3b, and 100 at SS. He would be an excellent fill-in. I too don't see anyone giving him a chance to start, so he should be open to a bench role. He made 2.87 million in 2005. I wonder how much it is going to take to sign him.

    Len is head and shoulders above Chip. There should not even be a comparison between the two.

    I guess then the question is... Why? Head case. See yesterday and Mitch Williams for more. Judging a pitcher on one outing and not the overall numbers is a very ridiculous thing to do.

    What worries me the most isn't that the Cubs couldn't compete for his services. I'm worried the Cubs won't make Giles a target. We hear the Cubs in all the rumors for Furcal, but never in the Giles rumors. I would just love to hear one report saying that the Cubs have interest.

    I would take him in a heartbeat. He provides an excellent utility bat. He's been somewhat of a headcase, but isn't that part of the reason we hired Dusty. I'd jump on this guy.

    Of all the Astros, I think I like Biggio the least. Mike Gallo is on the Astro that I really like.

    Anyone wondering if they'll just pitch a tent in the bullpen?

    I wouldn't root for the Sox if their opponent was the Taliban and Bin Laden was playing first base.

    My team might end up worse if I do show up at the draft.

    You've never been IM'ed by aparoche aka Jabroni then.

    I'm more or less indifferent here. I'm still hoping the Angels get by the Yankees and win the whole damn thing again.
  15. vance_the_cubs_fan
    I found this headline amusing. They have big units and wangs in the Yankee pen. Impressive!

    I'm going to have to persuade him to add the grim reaper ...or maybe the plzdie. That one was fun.

    We need to add some of the emoticons from the emergency site. I nominate these: http://67.18.37.15/2643/156/emo/th_grim_reaper.gif and http://67.18.37.15/2643/156/emo/kneelsuckers.gif.

    I voted Giles because I don't think it's realistic that we could trade for Abreu. Even if he's available, I don't think it is feasable that the Cubs could put together a package of players to obtain him. If we're going to have trade of Abreu as an option, I'd like to re-open the SS discussion and add trade for Arod. I'd also like to nominate trading for Vlad as another option for RF. Giles is the most realistic and best option. He only costs money and we don't have to speculate on whether he's available or what player costs it would take.

    Go Angels. I need to have one team I don't hate left in these playoffs.
  20. vance_the_cubs_fan
    This one didn't end the way I wanted. :x
  21. vance_the_cubs_fan
    I want my premium...:cry:

    With free agency pending, Farnsworth likely cost himself a couple of million dollars with that implosion. He'll likely be a good reliever for someone next year, and maybe back with the Braves.
  23. vance_the_cubs_fan
    It's working for me.
  24. vance_the_cubs_fan
    Thank-you. I was anyway, but I'm glad I have your permission.
  25. vance_the_cubs_fan
    If the Cubs can't sign Giles, would Jenkins be available in a trade?
