  1. Milwaukee just took the lead on a Weeks homer. If our rotation doesn't step up we're not going anywhere this year.
  2. Bunch of morons man. Lilly has definitely looked much worse than Hill. His velocity is down as well.
  3. I don't think the cubs will rush him either. At only 19, he needs innings at various levels through out the system. there is an outside shot he might get bumped up to Daytona very late in the year just to get his feet wet. With a solid year this year, (looks great so far) he will definately be in Daytona next year though. But certainly no need to rush thihs kid. Welcome!
  4. I really hope Samardj has a great year.
  5. Wright, Hanley or Miguel Cabrera. I'd be happy with any of those.
  6. Utley is a sick player. He missed all that time last year due to a broken hand and still put up a .332 AVG 22HR and 103RBI. Those are Miguel Cabrera numbers but at 2B.
  7. IMO, there are about a handful or so of players (now or the immediate future) who are worth a contract starting at $15mill. ARod/Pujols/Vlad/Manny/Ortiz/M. Cabrera/ are definately worth $15 + per yr. Guys like Utley/Hunter/Hudson, IMO, are closer to being worth in the 10-13 mill per. So, IDK if I would have given Utley that contract. And I am sure as heck know I wouldn't give it to Hudson. Utley is definitely worth more than 13 mil. I would give him 15-16 mil. He's a damn good player. Utley is a lot better than Hudson is.
  8. Damn! This sucks! I have Directv and it's on channel 668. Watching now..
  9. Hudson is clearly delusional if he thinks he's worth anything close to what Utley is getting.
  10. http://chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseball/cubs/cs-080407-kosuke-fukudome-chicago-cubs-piniella,0,7789593.story I had a sudden image of Kosuke turning around to bat RH against a LOOGY late in a tight game, ala Rocky II. Fukudome, with the bases loaded and 2 out, down 3 to the Mets in Game 7 of the NLCS, facing Wager is down 0/2: Fukudome (tapping off cleats): I'll admit it, you are better than I am Wagner (rubbing the ball): Then why are you smiling? Fukudome (settles in batters box): b/c I know something that you don't Wagner (firing nasty breaking ball): What's that? Fukudome: I...am not left-handed [switches to RH batters box and crushes a grand slam] =D> Classic!
  11. Small sample size but Wellemeyer was good for the Cards last year as well.
  12. If we're mad now about Soriano(which I am), imagine what it's going to be like when he's playing left field for us at 38!
  13. So I just checked Kline's numbers and he was brutal last year against lefties. Actually, he was worse against lefties than righties. He's not worth it. http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/5778/splits;_ylt=AiljwuZ4qa9BE3HjKRCN0OKFCLcF?year=2007&type=Pitching
  14. I do but have it at home. If you don't have it by tonight send me a PM with your email addy.
