Punch and Judy Garland

you didn't mention obp and you dismissed the steal cateogry for the most part. I'm not saying where he ranks among left-fielders in the league but its clear from your post that you were using numbers to make your point and not letting the numbers make the point for you.

Coco should be available today unfortunately

you only chose the stats that fit your argument. Not sure if Scotty is overrated or not but it's not fair to do that if you are goign to leave off things he's better at. All I know is that when he gets on base, good htings happen and I don't care what the numbers say about that.

If I started a team, and that's the criteria I use when considering the greatest ever, he'd be my pick over Bonds or Ruth. He changed every game he played in, outside of course the ones he played in more recently. I should also mention that there is NO cloud of steroid suspicion with Henderson. If there was the slightest, he would have been named in Canseco's book. His absence from accusations tells you everything you need to know.

well we'll have to agree to disagree then

I didn't read one of the 27 pages and I KNOW someone had to make the joke but I'll give it a go anyways. It's no wonder Jon had a bad outing, you wouldn't concentrate if your slippers were stolen either.

Rickey Henderson is the greatest baseball player ever to live (in my unpopular opinion) so he's not really someone to judge Pods off of. Maybe Vince Coleman or Juan Pierre. THe rest of the list is a joke to me. Blalock? Sabtathia? Come on. Also, who outside of espn and fox's payroll thinks Kevin Millar is a good player?

I don;t really have strong feelings on Levine one way or another besides that I had a sub in high school that sounded like him which is kind of wierd when I hear him talk. In his defense, I think he broke the Andy Pettitte story of signing with the stros. At least, espnews gave him all the credit. Just saying

Furcal > Konerko. Not sure if it will play out where we get Raffy but you gotta figure its a one or the other situation. Here's a question and I don't even know if he's a free agent and people here seem to hate Darin Erstad but would you rather have Konerko/Uribe or Furcal/Erstad? If we got Furcal and Erstad we will have gone from having no leadoff hitter before this year to having about 4 which is kind of funny.

hmmm. I heard he'd be an A tomorrow. I guess with Cano's bad August they want some insurance not named Tony Womack

Proud to be a Saluki this week!

My college dorm blocks limewire as I have to use virusscan, a McAffee product I think, to log onto the network. It prevents downloads and searches on limewire. Any way aroudn this? If not, what file services are you guys using now (mainly free ones)?

I think Frank would have to be on the active 25 for the loophole to occurr. Now if Podz, Dye, Timo, etc were to get hurt after Spet 1st, then we could add Anderson. I think you reset your playoff roster (with injuries anyways) after each series.

I drafted Thomas Jones as my thrid fantasy back.....today. Ouch. Hopefully Mewelde Moore can become that guy

QUOTE(Wedge @ Aug 28, 2005 -> 03:04 PM) so he's getting traded to the pirates? very funny! Anyways, I think this didn't mean a whole lot ebcause he didn't say he wouldn't come to Chicago (although that is probably) but he just said basically that he hasn't been asked

Why don't we rename the Rolaids Award to make it mroe prestigious. Either the Hoyt Wilhelm Award or the Dennis Eckersley Award. It might make it seem like a bigger deal so we can eliminate this closers for CY talk that comes up yearly.

Although the perception was that we were better than the Jays in 03 because we were actually in a division race, we won nearly the same amount of games

I wasn't sayign Colon is the sleeper, just that Santana is. Now, of sourse he's not a sleeper in the context of expectations going into the season but he's not in a lot of people's top 3-4 now, but maybe he should be is what I meant

Even K-Rod didn't close for the champs, we can use Jenks VERY effectively in the 7th and 8th in the playoffs

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Aug 28, 2005 -> 01:34 PM) Nicely Done!

I said last night that Bartolo Colon would be my CY pick over our two standouts but I'm begining to wonder if Johan Santana might be the guy if he continues to rattle off great starts like today. He needs 5 more wins for serious consideration but he might once again singlehandedly carry the Twins to the playoffs, via the WC of course

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Aug 28, 2005 -> 01:12 PM) Griffey is not coming to the White Sox. ...so you're saying we got a chance!

It's not happening Fathom this year, you better get used to it. Griff is officially back

I don't really rely on defensive statistics so we'll have to agree to disagree on their defensive abilities. As far as Chipper going back to left, it can't happen. His hammy's just won't allow it and he is their best player. He might not be as good at third as Marte but he's the team leader and has to be in the lineup. I'm not sure that they would put him at first with Franco/LaRoche there but its possible. I think they might trade Marte for a frontline starter/reliever in the offseason, in my opinion
