    The NBA thread

    Ok maybe Im way off on this, but in my opinion if the Hall is going to allow known steroid users into the Hall, then let Pete Rose in. Pete supposedly didnt "cheat" while playing only as a manager, unlike the steroid group. Ive been in the belief Rose belongs in before all this, but this to me, just backs my opinion.

    Here's the info that just went out on the Chiefs website late Thursday: also, for those of you that hadn't seen this story, the Chiefs and the Chiefs Boosters will be doing a raffle to benefit the fund set up for Donnie and his brother. Love to see you in Peoria on the 17th (although it does mean I'll miss the Len and Bob Bash)! Man, if it wasnt for Soto coming to Peoria Id have no interest in going at all. We got the short end of the stick thats for sure. Still cant decide if Im going since it occurs on bowling night....

    Good luck Glendon, you are a terrible pitcher but a hell of a guy apparently, so that means something to me.

    Dbacks also traded Jose Valverde for Qualls and Chris Burke.

    Isnt it a little early to be declaring who the teams to beat are?

    Lol. Yea what a baby he was when he was constantly trying to come back from being hurt, while still being hurt and needing surgery. What a puss. This is a man who was paid over the past 3 years for doing *nothing* He never came back, something always ached, and then when it was time for him to step up as a "good guy" and stay with the franchise that nursed him along over all these years he splits because he wants MORE money. If this was a person at your job that acted in such a manner and wanted a raise after being on medical leave for 3 years, you'd be up in arms. Doing nothing? Do you think rehab is easy? Do you think trying to pitch when you need surgery is easy?
  10. Keener98
    Yea why would a guy who had surgery FINALLY to get what was wrong with him fixed, ever pitch again. We've spent more money on bigger wastes that unfortuanately were able to play then what we've spent on Prior.

    I pray your wrong. Most projections I have seen for KFuk have him hitting 20 homers with 25 being the high end. DLee's power seemed to come back the second half of last year so hopefully he return to being a 30-35 homer threat. Also Dlee looks like he'll have a better lineup around than he's ever had in a cubs uniform. Power is more than HRs. If you look at Fukudome's PECOTA projections (.289/.401/.504 ), probably a little high across the board. But that's an ISOP of .215. Even with Derrek's power surge in the 2nd half, he finished at .195, thanks to a big September with the power. FWIW, I think Fukudome will hit much more than 10-15 HRs. I could see him easily hitting 20-25 pretty consistently. I believe LH power hitters can thrive in Wrigley in the HR department, because the wind typically blows to aid balls down the RF corner. Corey Patterson, Mark Bellhorn, Henry Rodriguez, and Rick Wilkins all hit for more power in Chicago than they did in the rest of the world. Jacque Jones and Fred McGriff posted power numbers they hadn't touched in about 6-8 years. Jones in 2007 says hi. I agree with what you are saying however.

    Why so Baker can completely finish what hes started?
  14. Keener98
    Fayson has officially declared hes transferring to U of I from Florida by the way. Suck it Florida!

    Has there been any word yet on who will be attending the Caravan in Peoria? I havent seen anything yet.
  17. Keener98
    I really really hope Fontenot is not on the Cubs 25 man.
  18. Keener98
    I'll preface this by saying I really like the Fukudome signing. Couldn't be happier to fill the need and not overpay as much as we could have. Also I didn't like the Jones signing at the time. However, Cubs fans booed Jones for his first season hitting: .285/.334/.499 27 HR That said Fukudome has been projected to hit .289/.401/.504 15 HR and everyone is thrilled. I would rather half a Fukudome than a Jacque Jones and a half. However, you have to admit the booing during Jones' first season was a little bit unwarrented. I don't think Fuku will get booed and I am glad to see Jones in a different uniform, but I think Cubs fans were pretty disrespectful to him even with the baserunning and throwing gaffes. The booing with Jones was after a horrid start, and alot of stupid ass mistakes, and then some comments regarding the fans treatment of him, so it snowballed from there. Id be shocked to see Fukudome make the same dumbass plays and baserunning mistakes that Jones made.

    Is that 5 CT? Thanks for the tip. Yea Im pretty sure it is.
  20. Keener98
    "On Fukudome's personality and attitude: He's a competitor too. Kind of a throwback guy. No dyed hair, jewelry, image enhancements. Buzz cut, square jaw, intense eyes. Not that those things make you a good or bad player, but fans will be turned on by his serious approach." http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2007/05/mike_plugh_on_k.html i know i'm turned on It's the "intense eyes" Nope, its the "square jaw" that does it for me.

    That's an assumption. But him coming back and pitching 10-15 starts isn't? I think I have his past history on my side of the assumption while the other side of it is wishful thinking. There is no past history of Prior coming back from surgery. That type of surgery is different for Prior because he's Mark Prior? Doesn't it take a year? Thats absurd. What an ignorant statement. Yes, what you just wrote is, I agree. Yea that makes sense. How can you say because its Prior it will take a year? Prior has never had surgery until now, so you have no clue at all what his recovering ability is like. Im sure you will point at how long it took Prior to come back from other injuries and still be horrible. Well when his arm was still hurt he wasnt actually recovering, but still trying to pitch. Now that he has had his injury fixed once and for all, how in the hell can you think you know what his recovery time is? Let me guess its the steroids again huh.

    It's really that simple. On top of that, Greene is better than Theriot by a far wider margin than Roberts is better than DeRosa. That other stuff about lineup positioning, while nice to think about, is pretty insignificant. This team + Greene instead of Theriot would score more runs than this team + Roberts instead of DeRosa. Any concern that the Padres might have the Cubs last on their trading partner list after the Fukudome signing? No Kevin Towers is smart, he wont let something like that get in the way of him trying to improve his team. Any GM that does hold a grudge for losing out on a player like that is basically a jackass.

    Not sure where to post this but Jim Hendry will be on ESPN1000 at 5 pm today. Im sure it will be nothing earth shattering but thought some people might want to listen.
  25. Keener98
    Ryan Theriot was barely better than Caesar Izturis last year people, thats how bad he is. Why is this so hard to see?
