Hatchetman

i kinda understand now why the giants fans would never believe barry was on steroids. it's never the guy on your team.

The mystery is what the new WSCR lineup will be. I don't think Mully and Hanley can do six hours every day...or can they?

I would have brought up Eldred just for the fun of it.

he looks sort of like pete rose.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 9, 2008 -> 10:11 AM) Less than guys like Albert Pujols, Chris Carpenter, Mark McGwire, Jose Canseco, Dennis Eckersley, Rickey Henderson, Dave Stewart? lol. the guy has managed over 30 years.......

hang on. he hit .280 as a freshman. .307 as a sophomore. elite college hitters hit around .400 as beckham did his junior year. .280 is atrocious. that makes donny lucy look like johnny bench. name five major leaguers that played at georgia.

all i got to go on is the stats and the 2 minute videos. beckham is a little guy. he doesn't look 6'1" to me. smoak is a monster specimen who launches 450 foot bombs. anyone who thinks both have the same power potential is delirious. beckham's crappy fresh/soph stats worry me. also if a player doesn't have the range to play short, he doesn't have the range to play 2B in my opinion. just as many balls go to the right side. obviously you don't need the arm to play 2B. there have been mediocre range guys at 2B (like jeff kent). that doesn't make it a good idea. so then you have a .260 15 HR 3B with your #8 pick. great. a .260 15 HR SS is a different matter.

barf. if this guy can't play major league SS, it's a waste of a pick.

QUOTE (bighurt4life @ Jun 4, 2008 -> 06:05 PM) not saying that the slotting system was in place but we did pay a very large bonus, equivalent at the time to going over slot that was a loooong time ago. probably scarred JR for life too.

QUOTE (Ozzie Ball @ Jun 4, 2008 -> 05:26 PM) Smoak Hosmer Those are my 1, 2. yeah, you and me both. then anybody but beckham.

his bat is a helluva lot faster now than it was then. wonder how that happened.

boy is he rough with the glove. hopefully he's a quick learner.

i just want to be on the record of saying i don't like beckham. reminds me of jeff blauser. i'd be happy with smoak, wallace, or hosmer (unlikely).

I think they should increase prices more so they can increase the payroll more.

but more importantly what was his time in the shuttle-run?

thanks. guy should have been the #4 prospect in all of baseball.

what an idiotic play.

kingman made 48 errors in 120 games at 3B. heh heh.

QUOTE(dielac @ Apr 3, 2008 -> 12:02 PM) I hate to say this but Quintin kind of looks like Conseco. i hope he hits like canseco

that kind of thing has been going on for a long time.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 3, 2008 -> 10:43 AM) Best? You think Swisher in CF is better than Anderson in CF? he said Offensively.

was he thought of as any kind of a prospect? his numbers before last year were not all that impressive. maybe some of our minor leaguers with mediocre stats will turn into cy young candidates.

there were 5 better offenses than cleveland last year.

danks against the tribe: 19 IP, 5 homers allowed.

yeah. that game yesterday was f***ing brutal. reminded me of corpseball.
