    Per 40 numbers (Points, rebounds, assist, fg%, ft%) and PER: -Chandler: 8, 13.5, 1.5, 57%, 50%, and 12.23 PER (after being right around average for the prior three seasons) -Gordon: 21.7, 3.5, 3.9, 42%, 78%, and 14.59 PER (15 is the average) -Frye: 20, 9.5, 1.3, 48%, 82%, 18.12 PER -Rose (pretty irrelevant since he would play almost zero time here, but...) 18, 4, 3.5, 42%, 78%, 13.95 PER. And Rose's contract off the books and no more Tyson(!) would be tough to pass up. Bear in mind, I realize some other minor salary contributors would be needed to make this deal a possibility. It would probably be insignificant players.

    GUESS WHO STARTED JUAN CRUZ ON THEIR FANTASY TEAM? That takes weeks of great pitching to make up. May never make it up.

    These Nats are real awful.

    Walks haven't been Aramis' problem this year. He's on a pretty good pace. But didn't he take a strike to make it a 1-1 count before hitting the 1-2 pitch to the wall? I don't know if the third pitch was in the zone, but it didn't really sound like he did anything wrong in that AB. Aramis' problems is that he's sucked the meat missile this year swinging the bat. Still gets a pass from most though. He better start producing.

    Assuming NY stands pat this off season, but I'm more concerned with what Gordon could turn into here. I remember you calling him nothing more than a role player this past season, but I see a lot of Arenas in his future. I'm not ready to write Tyson off yet. He was very disappointing this year, but he's still a defensive presence. How old was Ben Wallace when he finally figured stuff out? Rose's expiring contract would be a nice chip, but they've got a lot of nice chips already without him. It's a gamble. Could pay off, could fail, certainly not a no-brainer. Gordon's a good player, but not a top guy. What this trade could allow is that we can be good next year with our two draft picks, not give up the farm for a guy like Garnett, grab a great young player who's a legit Center, and have the cap space in the summer of 07 to lock up our own core with the possibility of bringing in another superstar. About Tyson to Wallace. Could be. That's the risk you take. I think its worth noting that two guard is the easiest spot in the game to replace. Given a very underwhelming big man group, start with two great young talents like the draft pick and Frye and let them develop with Deng, Nocioni, and Hinrich.

    Gambling the Bulls could sign one of the big free agents in next year's class? That would indeed be the plan. I saw the list awhile back, and it was sick. Still a long shot to pry any of the truly elite players away from their current teams. Might be able to land a guy like Carter, but how much does he have left? A little too risky for my tastes, but it could pay off. The reward far outweighs the risk. Gordon won't become a great player in NY because there still wouldn't be enough ball for everyone. Tyson may develop into a servicable player out there, but nothing great. You get rid of his albatrostic contract for the next five years and gain a huge bargaining chip with Jalen Rose. If you draft Aldridge or Bargnani, you've got your front line for a long time and a two guard in the league is probably the EASIEST position to replace. I tried it at realgm, it didn't work, so there may have to be some salary throw in to make it work for both sides. On paper it looks a bit outlandish, but the logic behind a move like that is strong.

Edit: Looking it over, the list includes guys likely passing up their player option to put themselves into the Free Agent Pool. Here is the list: Bibby Billups Dirk Rashard Lewis Vince Carter Jamison Stackhouse

    I could live with Gordon and Tyson for Channing Frye and Jalen Rose.

    I'm thinking of calling my (fictitious) bookie tomorrow to lay down a grand on the Nats.
  11. Mark_R
    Contreras did yeah.

    linky Seems like a solid deal.

    Who'da thunk another stupid Choi argument would break out? In a thread concerning Cedeno, nonetheless.

    At least 5 -6. Your point being? Since people might attend more that I have a small sample of experiance to pull from right? I see people acting embarassingly. IMO. To me it shows that they don't understand the game at all. All they know is stats and stat books filled with numbers on how this player should have this avarage or should be this good for my team. That's more than I'll go to this year because I don't feel like wasting my money anymore on a crap product on the field. I normally go to double digit games, but as tickets get more expensive and the team on the field sucks more, its difficult to justify to myself spending that much money with the great chance I'll be disappointed. The Cubs fans who go to Wrigley are no longer "blind leading the blind" when it comes voicing their displeasure of the on field product. Call it embarassing if you'd like, I call it long overdue.

    Proposed a trade to you, hopefully you come here to take a look at it.

    I'm a pathetic fan because if the Cubs suck like I'm expecting on Thursday, I'm gonna boo. Scott, I"m curious, how many games do you go to a year?

    Dusty needed a new person to fetch him a toothpick.

    Macias hits home run. Prior decides to retire.
  19. Mark_R
    Most of these "highlights" came in Cub losses. What a season this has been :roll:
  20. Mark_R
    I'll bring the crowbar for Woody, you cough in Prior's face.
  21. Mark_R
    I remember Barrett adjusting himself for like 5 minutes last week when they were in San Diego. Couldn't believe the camera was staying on him between pitches for so long....
  22. Mark_R
    And when I win the Jackie Robinson jersey, oh it will be a great day.
  23. Mark_R
    Let's hope that Prior doesn't come down with a hacking cough to set him back til August.
  24. Mark_R
    Stand up guy too, though unnecessarily. Apologizing to Torre, as if he has anything to apologize for. Just being there everyday busting his ass for him. More players should be like Matsui.

    Fire Dusty

    Merge plz. The Dusty hatred has reached its apex. The pressure is on Hendry. Get it done, Jimbo.
