Gene Honda Civic

Shoeneweis -- He's got the stuff to be a very effective LOOGY. Plus, last year he showed that, when healthy, he can be good in the rotation too.

What's funniest is the "LW" or last weeks rating column -- The twins have moved up 2 spots while doing nothing in the last week. The sox have stayed even while adding AJ Pierzynski.

The deals done -- TBA at the fest /pure speculation

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Jan 11, 2005 -> 02:56 PM) les see what Tank does in the long run b4 we bash him As if being replaced by Ian Scott wasn't enough

What's more troubling is Southsider way down the list at #6 Edit -- I just noticed I missed the first row --- Even more shocking.

Shawn Estes has supposedly signed a 1 year deal worth between 2.5 and 3M to play for the D'backs. -- What's funnier is this quote if found Jesus H. Christmaspunchers is Bowden an idiot.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Jan 11, 2005 -> 01:57 PM) I'm 6/10 and I really don't care who or why regarding Marina Towers. I know it was some social revolution versicle city concept, but really . . . I'll save you the trip, Tex. Wilco designed the Corn cobs.

Also the act of leaving Andy Sisco open to the Rule 5 draft, losing him to the Royals with the second pick, and signing Stephen Randolph in his place -- This would be like us not protecting Chris Young next year becuase we needed the roster space for Timo Perez. -- f***ing Brilliant

It really sucks that the bears wasted their second round pick on Tank last year -- I think that Jonathan babineaux could end up being a steal in the DT spot.

Ima go see Buddy Guy thisa weekend

QUOTE(3E8 @ Jan 11, 2005 -> 01:18 PM) Maybe percentage of entire team's win shares would be better? not really, WS are based off of pythagorean record -- a team that doesn't win as much(brewers) probably has fewer people contributing, and thus those few players who actually were contributing would have a greater percentage of teams WS. But that's sorta like being the tallest midget

QUOTE(Punch and Judy Garland @ Jan 11, 2005 -> 01:10 PM) I'm no stat guy but wouldn't that 29>37 be wrong? You don't need to be a stat guy to realize that. As for the rest of your question, you are right, and there is an inherent flaw in WS. They are very good at describing what you did for your team in that year, as they value high leverage situations(close and late AB's W/RISP) , but they are poor at predicting future production, especially when a player changes teams and roles ---

I voted for Hendry -- Any off-season where you can secure both Neifichiro and henry Blanco has to be considered a sucess

Coughcough7coughcough

Divide by three

It's true -- I don't drink anywhere near as much as I did just a year ago

QUOTE(quickman @ Jan 11, 2005 -> 12:11 PM) Agreed, this guy is a piece of s***. He is not a member of this board correct? I believe he's been banned -- Wore out his welcome after just a handful of posts

Seriously, this kid needs to be beaten.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Jan 10, 2005 -> 11:54 PM) They got three right and they get paid for his? That does not seem very good. I posted a contest in the contest area -- Let's see how people here have done so far
