QUOTE(Jabroni @ Jan 28, 2005 -> 12:51 PM) What free agent 3rd baseman that could put up similar numbers to Nakamura and at a fraction of the cost is still available? Please don't tell me it's any of these guys... http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/features/fre...il&positionId=5 If we were looking to give crede competition or upgrade at third we wouldn't have waited this long. There were several third basemen available that can put up better than crede type numbers.

QUOTE(Jabroni @ Jan 28, 2005 -> 12:27 PM) That's great but you thought it was ridiculous when I suggested him and the Dodgers could be interested. No, i saw nothing about the dodgers in your post originally. But i did see this. You can find someone in the states that will most likely put up similar numbers for a fraction of the cost. Which is the reason i said '' how about no''?

QUOTE(Jabroni @ Jan 28, 2005 -> 10:57 AM) Told ya someone would sign him... http://rotoworld.com/content/playerpages/p...ort=MLB&id=4948 They are considering signing him. He is not signed. His numbers ae still nothing to get excited over.

QUOTE(Goldmember @ Jan 26, 2005 -> 05:38 PM) here's a quickie. How much you charging?

QUOTE(SouthSideScraper @ Jan 28, 2005 -> 01:14 AM) I wouldn't say to contract Pauly for 28-30 million dolalrs over three years either. Maybe for 15 - 20 over the next few years. It's still great money and as it was posted a little earlier, he isn't in this for the big money. Gload is all right and he is a lefty. True he finished strong last season, but again. He needs to proove himself a little more. And unfortunately, that means moving Pauly to DH or benching him for those games. And if Thomas comes back strong, that means Pauly will be grabbing some bench. I don't want to get off topic on a tangent. Konerko is a good ball player who can only help our team. Whether it's at the plate or in the clubhouse, he produces. If konerko has another year like last year he will get at least eight million per year, most likely more. No way he takes a 10 to 15 million dollar paycut just because of loyalty.

QUOTE(ZoomSlowik @ Jan 28, 2005 -> 12:33 AM) Is it just me, or does it look like the rookies are going to get smoked? They're going against a team with two superstars in James and Wade, a couple of other really good players in Anthony, Hinrich, and Bosh, and some other decent players. As long as James and Wade don't drop out, I see a huge margin of victory. 40 points at least. It's not like it's a game anyway. It's just another dunk contest.

QUOTE(JoshPR @ Jan 28, 2005 -> 12:05 AM) Does it really matter to you??? No right, so stay out Yea, sorta does since you complain about every single poll and new member. If you don't like it i don't see why you have to comment on it all the time. They are not all gonna suddenly disappear.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Jan 27, 2005 -> 11:07 PM) Josh ... take a chill pill, buddy. It was a tongue-in-cheek post. I thought it was quite a clever one. C'mon. New poster ... cracks a joke ... and you hit him with the angry-f***you-smilie and TROLL. Let's give these a guys chance before we draw and quarter them. He hates anyone new and polls.

QUOTE(elrockinMT @ Jan 27, 2005 -> 08:56 PM) Exactly. I saw Ray King pitch at the rookie league level when he first came up with the Reds. The only reason he sticks around is because he is a lefty pitcher. You have got to be kidding.

QUOTE(toasty @ Jan 27, 2005 -> 10:55 PM) wow... ive never seen a closed thread on here... and we may end up with more than that one Three have been closed in the last day.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jan 27, 2005 -> 10:24 PM) and bad. You are a joke.

Someone else besides me should read this.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Jan 27, 2005 -> 10:10 PM) But what is the problem? It worked out great tonight. The starters got a rest, and the bench took care of it. Im sure if the Bobcats were still hanging around with about 6 min left, Ben and Kirk would have been back in. I think your b****ing to b****. I am not b****ing. He said pargo and all the other bench players were put in because skiles thought they could win the game. Why the hell would skiles think that when the game was within two points? I was just saying there was a reason that they were taken out. They(curry, gordon, and hinrich) must have done something wrong and we just don't know yet. Also, kalapse, pargo does not suck. He is just very streaky.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jan 27, 2005 -> 10:03 PM) What? He didn't pull anyone? Um ya, both hinrich and gordon were pulled when the game was still close in the fourth. They were both out the majority of the fourth. He didn't pull them because he thought the bench could beat them. I am postive there was a reason for them being benched even if it was a bad reason.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jan 27, 2005 -> 09:57 PM) Skiles didn't pull anybody. Man, that was good.

QUOTE(Jabroni @ Jan 27, 2005 -> 09:51 PM) I guess there's no such thing as a lefty reliever in your scenario. :rolly So you are going to bank on Wilson Valdez to hit lefties for our team? What a joke. I'd still rather have one good 2nd baseman that can hit both righties and lefties. Hopefully, that guy is Iguchi. Maybe he even knows how to steal a base, unlike Willie. Could have sworn i said valdez or some other guy could be brought it to hit lefties. Didn't have to come from free agency. I am pretty sure valdez could hit lefties ad well as miles does and that is all we would be looking for. You are gonna bank on iguchi being are primary second baseman?

QUOTE(whitesoxin' @ Jan 27, 2005 -> 09:49 PM) Good thing Skiles is the coach. All I saw in this game was the last five minutes. It appears that is a good thing. As soon as I got home, my dad asked me who Pargo was. I have to admit I had no clue, I had heard the name before and thought he was a foreign guy. I sure know who he is now. Wow. Pargo would have not been out there with practically any other coach. But skiles feels he has to pull players every time they sneeze and they don't ask for his permission. Like i said before, he is all or nothing. Before today he was a combined 1-16.

QUOTE(Jabroni @ Jan 27, 2005 -> 09:41 PM) I'm not saying either is better than the other but I'd rather have the guy that can his lefties AND righties. If you have a utility infielder than can hit lefties decent it shouldn't matter. You face a lefty on the average of what once every five games? I am sure if we just had willie as are primary second baseman valdez or someone else brought in could put up similar numbers against lefties that miles does.

QUOTE(Jabroni @ Jan 27, 2005 -> 09:35 PM) Since when does "part-time" player have to mean 50-50? It means that he has to platoon with a right-handed 2nd baseman that can actually hit lefties. You are arguing over semantics. Either way willie>miles. Now you can argue that.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Jan 27, 2005 -> 09:29 PM) Jannero Pargo: You can't stop him, you can only hope to contain him. Until he goes one for seven next game.

QUOTE(Jabroni @ Jan 27, 2005 -> 09:27 PM) Do you refute the fact that if a player can't hit lefties at all that he can't be a full-time player? Willie is a platoon 2nd baseman at best. I am not saying he would be a full time player. I am saying he wouldn't be a part time player. Part time means 50-50 or close i believe. But yes, he would be a platoon player, ne said he wouldn't.

QUOTE(Jabroni @ Jan 27, 2005 -> 09:20 PM) If Willie can't hit lefties he's a part-time player. Aaron Miles can switch-hit. I wouldn't consider playing 80 percent of the time ''part time.'' Which if he played all the righties he would be play close to 80% of the time.

QUOTE(Jabroni @ Jan 27, 2005 -> 09:14 PM) Aaron Miles hit .293 in his first full season with the Colorado Rockies last season. I don't want to hear any excuses for Willie. ...and willie also is ten times the fielder with a better obp.
