QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 6, 2011 -> 07:17 PM) I totally understand why they did it, it's the same move as the Tigers making in 2004/2005 when they signed IRoid and Ordonez to try to get back some respectability. But they might wind up in trouble even if that team somehow suddenly can afford a $120 million salary. Let's assume Harper, Zimmerman, and Strasburg are all great. Harper and Strasburg could probably ask for, and get, $20 million a year if they live up to the hype. Then that Werth contract is really bad. There's no good excuse for that contract.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 6, 2011 -> 07:04 PM) Then again, the Werth signing could wind up hamstringing them just as much as Soriano with the Cubs. Will, unless they can trade him somehow. I still can't believe how bad of a decision that was.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 6, 2011 -> 06:40 PM) Healthy Strasburg/Zimmerman, Harper will be up next year and Rendon? Yeah, I like that foundation. Strasburg has awful mechanics. Nationals need pitching and outside of Zimmerman, they have no one that isn't a huge risk.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 6, 2011 -> 06:36 PM) Good move by the Nats. They should be running the NL, along with the Braves, really soon. What the hell are you on?

Bundy squats 500 lbs? Wow, beastly.

Awful pick. His mechanics are really, really bad.

Way to watch that double play develop, Alex. Piece of s***.

I know it's a small sample size and blah blah blah, but Jordan Danks "only" struck out once every five ABs in May. If he can keep up that ratio he'll probably make it to the bigs.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 18, 2011 -> 02:24 PM) Sample size and the fact he's already 24. Kuhn was a guy I was excited about going into 2009. But he didn't do anything of relevance. Certainly nothing to deem him a top prospect. He doesn't have a particular tool(s) that jump out at you. If he can keep this up for a full year then MAYBE you have something. And let me emphasize maybe. But it's not going to happen. He's got like 5 career HRs. He's not going to maintain a .500+ slg%. Having over 25% of a season's ABs isn't sample size bias. Also, I don't understand how being 24 in your second season of AA is bad. Perhaps you can enlighten us. It looks like Kuhn's success can be tied to him cutting down on strikeouts and putting the ball in play more. Obviously one can argue that part of his success is that he's getting luckier, which would be true, but he's showing a lot of progress at AA. He most likely projects as a utility infielder with a good bat, little pop.

Danks has been pretty damn good lately.

QUOTE (mmmmmbeeer @ May 6, 2011 -> 11:55 PM) Was Santos unavailable tonight? In Ozzie's brain.

Rule No. 1: You don’t get rid of a top-five manager in his prime. The only top 5 list Ozzie is making is Top 5 AL Central managers. He's atrocious.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 3, 2011 -> 10:03 PM) My prediction is Walker goes sometime in May, Ozzie leaves for Florida at end of year, and KW becomes VP with Hahn taking over during offseason. That's way too optimistic. Your title and that post don't jive at all, Mister.

KW will be the first to go. I think he has a shred of dignity and will eventually fall on his sword. In a few months.

Don't worry guys, we have all this talent in the minors. This organization is so, so f***ed.

First CG at any level. First shutout at any level. If Greg Walker isn't fired in the next hour the White Sox should be named the Chicago Good Ol' Boys.

Has a no-hitter ever ended on a CS?

Alexei Ramirez is a moron.

Yeah, a 24-year-old bust. Jesus, lay off people.

That was....ugly. But it worked.

Honestly, teach those f***ing fundamentals Ozzie.

Don't worry, we've got a can't miss bullpen pros... f*** me.

Pena is absolute trash.

Good job by Ohman. Now let's score some f***ing runs.

Whole lot of sample size bias going on on the board (Thornton). Oh God CSN needs to stop showing that dropped fly ball.
