hahahaha thanks for this. Torres is my favorite.

QUOTE (Tex @ Oct 6, 2009 -> 02:08 PM) Now let us hope that we do not have to trade one of them to fill in holes elsewhere. I really don't think we will. I think that's what happens when you have a sit. like boston, with some people being blocked that can make it in. But when you have an overwhelming strength at such an important part, I think you look to upgrade it via other means. I'm not so sure D. Hudson is safe though.

Really pleased. So Peavy Danks Floyd Buerhle Garcia Who the hell would've seen that as our 2010 rotation in 2006.

I'd rather they kill off Vince, Drama, Turtle and E and focus entirely on Ari.

Sorry, haha, by not popular I meant most hated. Haha, I'm not allowed to wear that jersey down in Curitiba, I'd even have to think twice about what part of Sao Paolo.

QUOTE (mmmmmbeeer @ Oct 5, 2009 -> 11:44 PM) Ha! I think you're about dead-on with all of those. I really think that Peavy is going to have the biggest influence on Gavin. Even when he's rolling, Gavin looks scared sh**less out on the mound, imo. I think Peavy is going to teach him that it's okay to get out there, have absolute faith in your stuff, and to let the hitter know, simply using body language, that YOU'RE going to beat HIM. fixed for clarity.

Do not want this guy. Hope he can't find a job anywhere. Even the raiders.

QUOTE (longshot7 @ Oct 5, 2009 -> 07:53 PM) it was hard to believe she had never played in the US before this tour. Great stuff. Wow that's insane. She could've made so much money.

In Getz first stint in AA his OBP was in the .320s, the next full year it was .380. You never really got to see his adjustment after a full year, in the same competition. So just because his OBP dropped, doesn't mean it's not a dynamic number.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Oct 5, 2009 -> 06:17 PM) I said earlier that i think he could manage an OPB around .333. It seems to fall in line with his career averages. That's league-average, i don' think it really works in the future leadoff man arguements favor. How does that fall in line with his career averages again?

K, but, I mean it was his rookie year. You won't allow any adjustment period for this kid?

He's a nice change in attitude. I'd love to see him and danks go back to back in the rotation. They both have that look that "I want to dominate you". Buerhle is more of a "haha, I'm smarter than you" while Floyd is like "Check out my pitcher face, do you believe it?" These are pure aesthetic observations in how I watch the game, have little to do with performance. More of a cinematic approach to pitching.

Unless we can find a clear upgrade that fits into our lineup well (top of the order guy) I'm fine with the platoon at 2nd. It's our outfield/1b/DH I want KW to figure out.

thanks!

The thing is, no Zumaya is an idiot as president. Yes, he overstepped his bounds. Yes, he should have been removed, but AFTER a trial. This is so 80s republicans to merely support the overthrowal of a leftist president no matter. I like that we are respecting the reactions of the other countries around them and am in favor of our policy on Honduras so far. Americans enacting a more facilitative, patriarchal approach to SA as it grows as opposed to dominating will improve relations so much more and lead to some really positive benefits. Really tired of the only coverage of south america being CHAVEZ + LEFTIST LEADERS ARE DOMINATING THE REGION. Chavez is not that powerful, he's not intimidating/dominating other countries, he's in cahoots with Ecuador, they seem to be pals, but thats it. Colombia seriously doesn't seem to have a problem dealing with them, Brazil doesn't either. Chile/Uraguay are, once again, completely not influenced by Chavez. But I guess they are leftist gov'ts therefore Kill.

So, nfl.com isn't working for me concerning highlights. Are there any other places I can watch bears highlights from yesterday?

QUOTE (WCSox @ Oct 5, 2009 -> 05:52 PM) No, it's not. Did you even look at Getz's minor league numbers? OBP of .401 in rookie ball, OBP of .382 in AA in 2007, and an OBP of .366 in Charlotte last year. Just what I was about to write. He improved his OBP by 60 points in AA from 2006 to 2007. Dropped to .362 in AAA. There's reason for hope that at the same level his OBP would improve next year. Obviously from AA to AAA control improves. Same for majors.

No that's the precedent I was talking about. What were you talking about/

LOL god I love that Larry Flint set an important precedent for our country hahaha.

Haha, so I think it's fair to say we don't take the EU seriously/don't care.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 5, 2009 -> 02:05 PM) The question for me isn't if he could help in 2010, it is would he help more in 2010 right away, than he would help in later 2010 through 2016 with some more development under his belt. If you are talking about a guy like Carlos Torres who doesn't have a high ceiling it is one thing, but a guy who could make a large impact as a starter is another story. You take a special level of care and work for a guy like that. I agree. Who knows how his arm will respond to this year, and if he has to learn how to work through that, better it be at AAA

THink I'll talk about the Brazil league's in here. Corinthians is the team I root for because my sister-in-law's brother gave me a jersey. They are not very popular. All my roommatesa re Sao Paolo fans. Corinthians has Ronaldo. Curitiba seems okay as well. I'll get back to you all .

QUOTE (Brian @ Oct 4, 2009 -> 11:10 PM) I had to live down there around Rams fans when they won the Super Bowl. Most of them didnt know they had a team til that year. Well i mean it's not like the team HAD been there for years or anything. They moved there in 95 or 96.

I don't know if Quentin gets a pass for his injury because I don't know if we'll ever be able to rely on Carlos Quentin the way we could, say, Dye for 05-08. Yeah, he got up to 20 hrs. But his average and lack of RBIs really worried me. I'm not sure I'm confident he should be relied on as a major piece to our future.
