    Freshman year (Vanderbilt): 82.1 Sophomore year (USC): 129 IP Junior year (USC): 138 IP Hmm, I never knew that Prior went to Vanderbilt. Do you know why he transferred?

    Nice to know that failure is taking place in AAA as well! Seriously though, what happened to him?
  3. Mizzou
    .248? Ouch. Pagan hit better than that in AAA. How are his other numbers this year?
  4. Mizzou
    I sure hope it's true!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Why is Jimy Williams a bad choice?
  6. Mizzou
    Hahahahahaha

    A 2 year $22.5m deal is not that hard to beat, not to mention, playing for somebody other than the Cubs is probably worth an additional $4-5m per year in happiness. You really think he'd get a deal that pays him more than 11 million a year at this point? I don't. He might settle for less to get out of this circus though, I know I sure would if I were in his shoes.

    Good for Aram. And the opting out thing seems farfetched. At this rate, he wont get a better contract this offseason.

    Our offense is pathetic... so let's trade away one of our best hitters who is signed to a very cheap contract! Brilliant!

    Jim Hendry: Give us Broadway and Fields and you got a deal. You don't want to trade with the White Sox unless we fleece them... we get it.
  11. Mizzou
    Um... what?
  12. Mizzou
    He just barely crossed the century mark, and Novoa is the only pitcher ready; I'd rather have Prior here, atleast let him get out of his own mess Agreed.

    What a bitter thread.
  14. Mizzou
    The Bulls signing Wallace is the equivalent of the Cubs signing... who? I ask cause I'm an admitted fairweather Bulls fan who hasn't really cared much about the NBA since MJ retired.

    How the hell does Clemens have that many pitches against this offense?
  16. Mizzou
    Juan's been on fire lately! Or so it seems.

    No, it's not bad. And I just showed you that it's not bad. And it's hardly slightly above terrible, or any other ridiculous hyperbole you'd like to use. Get over your dislike of him for two seconds and acknowledge the FACT that his batting average is good. And as for your last statement, how else would you like to evaluate minor leaguers if you don't want to look at their stats relative to their competition? You compare a player's numbers to the best numbers of players playing his position in the minors. Then you look to see if the person is old or young for his league. Compaing a player to league averages is ok for a major leaguer but the vast majority of minor leaguers never make it. Why compare a player to a guy who isn't good enough to move up a league? His batting average would be good if he also had an OPS of .950 or an OBP of .390 for his career, but alas his doesn't. I don't hate Pagen. I have nothing against him. A .282 batting average is good, regardless of whether his OBP is .290 or .390. Adam Dunn has a great OBP, but that doesn't make his average good. Nor does Pagan's modest OBP make his batting average bad.

    No, it's actually not. The league average for the AA and AAA leagues ranges from .247 to .269. So again, it's wrong to say that Pagan can't hit. About how many prospects hit .250/.260 for their minor league career and make it to the bigs? I have no idea... but what does that have to do with anything? We're talking about Pagan, who isn't a .260 hitter. He's a .282 career minor league hitter - which is good, whether you want to admit it or not. Good question. 25 man roster complications for the Mets, I would guess. And I'm not saying that he's "so good." I am saying that he can hit though. And that's all I have been saying in this thread. That's the only thing in Jon's post that I took issue with.

    I guess it should be mentioned here that the article states that those guys would be the two centerpieces. It wouldn't be Aram for ARod straight up.

  22. Mizzou
    Can't hit? He's a .282 career hitter and can't hit? Can't hit for power would be more appropriate, but it's flat out false to say that he can't hit.
  23. Mizzou
    Nice piece. Dusty wants to be evaluated by team morale and hustle, among other things? What a moron.
  24. Mizzou
    Great pics, Fred! And NorthsideAvenger... why the hell would you quote that?
  25. Mizzou
    Wow, good for him.
