    I think most of the people out in the St Pete area are transplants. Maybe they are fans of other teams? :huh

     

    I think that has a lot to do with it, same thing in Arizona. IIRC the D-backs has trouble selling out their playoff games last year, and that was even with all the Chicago people going too.

    The only question I've ever had about an international draft are the ramifications on international free agency. What would have happened to Contreras, Ramirez, Matsuzaka, Ichiro, and the others as a result? Would there be a pardon to those that have played at a professional level within their own countries?

     

    It'd be complicated, but some form of an international draft would be for the best of the game.

     

    No doubt an international draft would be so good for the game, as it would keep the richest teams (Yankees, Red Sox) from automatically grabbing the best international guys, but, like ya said, the complications would be endless(assuming all older international players would automatically be in the draft too like college guys here)...

     

    -why would japanese teams give up their signed guys when they just got $50 mil from Boston just to talk to Dice-K

    -how do you decide between an 18 year old with all the potential or a 30-year old with experience that will contribute now...

    -does the worst team get the first pick in both drafts?

     

    i know the questions go on and on, just something i've thought about it a lot before

     

     

    Uribe playing ss in Charlotte?

    My biggest concern with Uribe as a utility guy on the bench is that he would bring nothing to the table as a pinch hitter. You cant bring pinch hit him when you need a bunt, or if you need to move the runner over, or even just a sac fly cause chances are he'll strike out.

    Volquez 6-1, 1.12era, 48.1ip, 57 k or hamilton .293avg, 8hr, 44 rbi. The stud hitter or pitcher?

     

    What a trade that was for both teams! But gotta make you wonder about the Texas pitching scouts. They are always looking for starting pitching and they traded away Volquez and Danks, who they could definitely use now. Even Masset has probably performed better than McCarthy has been so far, granted hes been injured.

    Well the thing for me is Mark doesn't have to overcome his D once in a while. So far, I think he has had to overcome it one way or another, in every single start. That is when it becomes hard to just block it out and not try to be perfect.

     

    True that, and its much harder to overcome when you are a contact pitcher and cant depend on strikeouts as much to get out of jams.

    So the back to back errors that put 2 runners on before Vlad were Marks fault?

     

    The definitely werent all his fault but a good pitcher doesnt collpase and start getting rocked as soon as his defense makes a bad play or two. Same thing with the 2-0 loss in Toronto, Crede made a 2-out error and Mark just gave up a bunch of hits in a row and that lost the game.
