  1. if he begins the season in the pen, i dont know what scenario would have to happen to let him get back to starting. i really dont know what is needed to "stretch out" a reliever so they can handle 6 innings at a time like a starter. if he's already starting in iowa, it only takes an injury or marquis suckitude to bring him back to the bigs.
  2. marquis will go injury free, i'm pretty sure
  3. Wow. I feel bad for the guy. Hope his surgery(ies) and rehab goes well. the espn ticker just kept going ...torn ACL...torn MCL....torn PCL....dislocated... well of course its dislocated, thats pretty much all the ligaments (i think). it hurts to think about it. he's a peoria kid, right?
  4. anybody use mlb.tv premium today?
  5. i'm think i'm going to break down and get mlb.tv. i'm just hoping that if the quality sucks, as i fear it might, i'll be able to cancel and get a prorated refund. i should be more than ok bandwith wise, i'm at 986 MHz instead of the recommended 1000 which should be close enough, and i've got double the RAM needed. i'm just guessing the demo may not match the product you get everyday.
  6. wheres the best resource that explains these in laymens terms? i think the + indicates a comparison to other players in the same year, but i'm not sure if park or league effects are thrown in and other wrinkles.
  7. it'll be interesting how much RF time floyd and murton get in ST
  8. bruce pearl on one side and florida on the other. can they both lose?
  9. i dont think its accurate to compare high school first rounders to oden. look at one and done first round draftees, i bet they have benn extremely successful, moreso than high school kids drafted on projected ceiling. we could debate whether he would improve more as a 19 year old in the nba or in the big 10. there's no question he stands to lose alot by trying the latter.
  10. and i'm expecting non-spectacular D from him, too. but hopefully it wont matter as we score 5 runs/game and the pitching staff stays healthy. 8-)
  11. i'm hoping it doesnt take half a season to replace itzy if he's putting up 650 OPS. ronny needs to have a good start in iowa and force jim's hand here. no other team is going to make their ss available for a trade the first few months of the season.
  12. The White Sox team is one in a perfect position to fall off a cliff. I think Seattle is better than they give them credit for as well. i agree, but that's quite a nose-dive to take in one year with no huge turnover on the roster. The White Sox might be the toughest team to predict. Not only are they in the toughest division in baseball, they seem like they are in a state of transition. They brought in a bunch of youngsters, but a lot of them won't help right away. But, they also have a few aging stars that aren't getting any younger. i think 90 losses would take a major injury or three. i wonder if ozzie would survive a season like that.
  13. and they wouldnt do marshall for church? SMRT!
  14. wow, i just realized that i'm older than wade. he will turn 31 in september. carptenter might have been a little younger but not much. wade was 28-29 in 2005 his last year in boston. its just spring training, i'm not ready to give up just yet.
  15. Playing time in college > practice time in the NBA. It's not highly unlikely he won't get much time in the NBA. He's not a very good offensive player right now and he would benefit from playing another year in college. I don't think he will stay, but it would be better for him. Yes, something bad could happen to him, and people always throw this out there, but it's highly unlikely. This isn't football. the best thing that could happen if he stays in college is he might be a little better prepared mentally and physically to help his NBA team when he finally gets there. and this is debatable. if he decides to do that, then thats great, he can pat himself on the back and feel good about his sacrifice, but he wont get drafted any higher or make any more money. the bad things that could happen are catastrophe- ACL type injuries, or having a so-so year and falling down in the draft.
  16. development be damned. if oden is a top 3 pick, he'd be insane not to go pro. Just because he could be a top 3 pick doesn't mean he's ready to play in the NBA. They are two completely different things. You are forgetting one big factor: $$$ who cares is he's ready to play? the risk of dropping from top 3 to the 2nd round would be a huge drop in cash. leinert still had a good year and he fell to what, 13?
  17. i had no luck friday, but just now got 4 horrid seats for a september saturday game against the pirates. i hope its a game that still matters. somehow 4 $16 seats costs almost $90. 5 bucks/ticket for a convenience fee that doesnt include shipping?
  18. yeah i'm more comfortable with just two years.
  19. development be damned. if oden is a top 3 pick, he'd be insane not to go pro.
  20. i'm not seeing where i can 'create an account"? edit: found it at the bottom, too much coffee today
  21. Prior's gonna havta beat DLee for CPOY. And Kerry Wood, and Wade Miller. . and Ceasar Izturis. . marquis, floyd. is it bad most of the team would be candidates?
  22. we need to find lou's son, see if he takes bribes. i'm sure guzman and the riot is available in his league, make him an offer he cant refuse.
  23. if he's healthy thats awesome, it means we're a playoff team. if thats the case i hope mark's usage allows him to be healthy for october.
  24. yeah, i dont think admiring home runs was done to prevent hammy problems. i'm ok not seeing that anymore. routine grounders are a different matter altogether.
  25. “Secrets of the Demon Miracle Pitch.” haha i love japanese translations. Mr. Sparkle is very disrespectful to dirt.
