Blake is the s***

June was the month he missed most games due to injury, and not surprisingly, his splits from that month are horrid. Even so, 50% of Dye's hits this year are for extra bases. His ISO after the all-star break is freaking 400. He provides power Lofton cannot dream of.

Reminds me of London's 'Gherkin'.

Didn't Ty Cobb kill a man

Nice turn Danny. Damn that is a massive whitehead on his lip

What a stupid douchebag

I completely agree with you about the draft picks. But the opinion varies depending on who you talk to, so they're definitely worth mentioning and I guarantee KW will use that fact as leverage in any trade discussions. I highly doubt there's any way Dye accepts arbitration. Why would he accept around ~$10 million for limited playing time (which would hurt his future value) when in free agency he will get more than double that guaranteed.

But if you are drunk behind the wheel and kill someone it is because you actually hit them, they are doing nothing wrong. If the criminal killed someone while in the car chase because he hit them then I would definitely put him at fault. What if the air traffic controller made a mistake by letting one of the copters into an area or one of the pilots weren't following proper protocol and because of his mistake three lives were lost. I don't know where the line can be drawn. Could someone watching the story say they now feel depressed and sue this guy? The criminal obviously needs to serve some time for his actions, but with a homicide charge many many more years could be added to his sentence.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Jul 28, 2007 -> 08:33 AM) As we have seen with Iguchi, free agents to be without huge numbers don't bring back much. Mediocre 2nd basemen free-agents-to-be who don't offer compensatory picks don't bring back much. It is not a position of great value and the market for them is poor. Pitching and position players with power are another story. Just look at Linebrink, who's numbers are far from 'huge'. Away from Petco his ERA was almost 6. This year his HRs and BBs were up, Ks down. All the Padres got for him was a 20 yr old AA starting pitcher with a career 2.28 ERA and 11 Ks/9, a 26 yr old relief pitcher with career 1.76 ERA and 11.6 Ks/9 with 1.00 WHIP, and LH starting pitcher with modest but not bad stats. That is a nice little group of prospects right there for a guy who is s*** outside of the biggest park in baseball. For any team that adds Dye, they are getting a guy with huge power potential who has been absolutely tearing it up since coming off injury. Not to mention draft picks after offering him arb. I fully expect a package of talent much closer to what the Pads got for Linebrink (centered around a B+/B spect) rather than Iguchi brought back.

This child birth brought you by 7-11 convenience stores, play ball

1. Gio 2. DLS 3. Sweeney 4. Egbert 5. Carter

Interesting, I disagree with that new law.

Why should the guy in the chase be charged for the helicopter deaths?

A good deal for both teams. Hopefully for Texas' sake Ramirez can stick at C.

s***load of flyball outs tonight

Wow. Not many will mess up back-to-back opportunities at saving their pitcher some runs. Then again, Pods can neither field a fly ball correctly or put any strength behind a throw. I guess the odds were against him.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jul 27, 2007 -> 08:51 PM) Frank's double was just an incredibly high flyball that drifted to the wall before being brutally misplayed by the incompetent LF. Hill's single was a line shot to LF, hit very hard. And Stairs' single was also hit pretty damn hard to RF. So yeah, I'd say they were solid hits. Good lord. I just saw the replay. f***ing embarrassing.

Were the Toronto singles in the 4th solid hits?

Nice 4-seamer there

We can't have lots of long outs like the one to JD. There will be many scouts here tonight

Could this come together any better? Seattle is in desperate need of starting pitching, on the verge of losing their 7th in a row, the asst. GM is head over heels for Garland, KW is asking 3 top spects for Garland. It's the perfect storm. The trade Flash has been hoping for. Since Garland is not just a half-season rental, I'd be asking for Balentien, Clement, and Triunfel.

How much longer will Carter be in Kanny? Or does that depend on Schnur

Final Fantasy 7 - My favorite game ever. I must have spent over 100 hours playing it. Tomb Raider 2 - This game was f***ing impossible, or at least it seemed that way when I was like 12 or 13. Even with a walkthrough I thought it was so much fun and unique.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Jul 25, 2007 -> 11:54 PM) I don't think they'd give up Adam Jones, but I don't see Jeff Clement talked about the same way that I do other top prospects (maybe I'm not looking hard enough?). I'd love to have Clement -- his numbers don't look that great considering he's hitting in the PCL, but his .850 OPS is still better than anything we have at the catcher spot. Dye + Contreras + $$$ (say, half of Conde's contract) for Clement? Yeah you're right Jones is out of the picture, but I think I'd go for Balentien before Clement. Clement was red hot in June but looks like he's cooled off here in July.

Seattle has top 50 spects at all positions we need. Bavasi has made questionable moves in the past. Seattle could be desperate after losing 6 straight. Get it done KW.
