QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jul 1, 2005 -> 01:16 AM) Why would Oakland want Joe Crede AND Alex Cintron when they already have Bobby Crosby, Marcus Scutaro, Mark Ellis and Keith Ginter already? Because........

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Jul 1, 2005 -> 12:57 AM) Offensively? Dunn worse than Tejada? You're kidding, right? Going off of career averages, you lose almost .100 OPS % points with Tejada, about .050 OBP % points, and .040 SLG% points. Overall player, sure, you take Tejada 'cause he's a stud on defense. But offensively, not a chance. Vlad, yeah. He's up there. I was going off the top of my head, don't know why I forgot about him. Even so, what does AVG mean, again? A guy isn't great because he doesn't have a good batting average? Like I said this is just a difference of opinion but Tejada is an rbi machine he's a .300 hitter and overall as a hitter I would rather have Tejada. Dunn I like because he's a lefty power hitter but I know for damn sure he'd drive me nuts cause he is an all or nothing hitter. Getting on base or not you got to be able to hit your way on base at times but that's jmo.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Jul 1, 2005 -> 12:39 AM) Name some guys better than him offensively... Pujols, Bonds, Manny, Ortiz. And then there's a bunch of guys who are right around where he's at, like Helton. What does BA mean? Let's see, Dunn gets on-base at a real good rate, and when he hits the ball, he homers or doubles. I can give a damn what his BA is when he has a 150+ OPS+... Vlad, Tejada are for sure ahead of him imo. There are a lot of other guys I'd rather have then Dunn, I personally just think you have to hit higher then .245 to be considered a top offensive player even with his obp. But hell when do we ever agree anyways. Agree to disagree

QUOTE(knightni @ Jul 1, 2005 -> 12:30 AM) If Rogers won't play in the AS Game, I bet Francona will take Clement or Chris Young instead of Freddy. Clement's a lock already.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Jun 30, 2005 -> 02:58 AM) Happy belated birthday. ^^^^^^ Hope you had a good one.

QUOTE(jerseysox @ Jun 30, 2005 -> 11:54 PM) i know i'm getting off topic, but with the all-star GAME allegedly meaning something these days, every team shouldn't get an all-star Continuing that thought, if it does mean something the fans shouldn't vote either, you can't have it both ways. You can't have some idiot fans who don't know what the hell they're doing potentially effecting the world series.

QUOTE(CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jun 30, 2005 -> 06:34 PM) I'm happy as hell that Shingo is Shingo again. We all but forgot about Mr. Zero. Keep throwing strikes. That was his only problem as I've said in the past. If Japanese batters didn't figure him out all those years I don't see why MLB hitters would. During the rain delay today I saw highlights from last year and Willie Harris scored a winning run and there was the usual mob scene around the hitter. I saw Willie on the edge of the group and Shingo comes up behind him and starts punching him in both ass cheeks. Left, right ,left ,right ,left, right. Willie turns around and puts up his dukes as Shingo runs away. Cracked me up. Did anyone else happen to see that or remember it ? For the record he was punching THE Timo Perez not Willie.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jun 30, 2005 -> 11:42 PM) I believe the word is our. Go back to grammer school. Serves ya right for ribing me for using the word bajillion Oh no you didnt................... For the record I wasn't ribbing on you about bajillion it was just an honest question

QUOTE(VAfan @ Jun 30, 2005 -> 11:35 PM) Yes we could have had him, but signed Uribe for 3 years instead. I bet KW is rethinking that decision now that Uribe's hitting has returned to pitiful form. I'm not suggesting this trade is a slam dunk, but it does give us a more balanced offensive team because it gives us a SS who can hit righties (Vizquel) while keeping one who can hit lefties (Ozuna). Together they will make a lot fewer outs than Uribe/Ozuna. The OBP differential for right handed pitchers between Vizquel and Uribe is .166. That's like having Frank Thomas's OBP instead of Joe Crede's. I bet you Kenny hasn't thought twice about that deal.

I'd say Buehrle's been are best player in terms of numbers but AJ's been this teams mvp.

In terms of our al central record the Indians have kicked our ass It's been unreal 26 and 5 within your division is ridiculous.

Freddy's numbers warrant consideration but it won't happen. I'd love to see him there but as I've said for Mark and Jon I'd prefer they don't pitch.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jun 30, 2005 -> 10:28 PM) If you're talking about Chavez he does cost a "bajillion dollars" but he is much better than Crede. Does his contract say bajillion dollars?? Anyways, Chavez isn't getting moved now with Oakland playing so well.

Awesome, as told by my avatar I'm a big fan of Getz.

QUOTE(Antonio Osuna @ Jun 30, 2005 -> 07:42 PM) I disagree, for this reason. Schilling/Clement and, to a lesser extent, Colon, are essentially power pitchers, whereas Mark is a finesse guy. I think that makes him inherently less reliable, because of his reliance on things like defense and trickery. Sure, Uribe/Crede are solid, but they're still human. They're still going to make mistakes. If you strike guys out rather than induce grounders, as long as the guy behind the plate has a rudimentary catching ability, you're a lot better off. You remind me of a poster from a different board. Not to mention you registered around here right around the same time this other guy got banned.

Every single time this team has had a bad series, they just come right back and kick some ass, really amazing!!!!!!!!!!

AARON!!!!!!!!!!!!1 Beautiful game, absolutely beautiful

QUOTE(nvxplorer @ Jun 30, 2005 -> 03:11 PM) Wasn't it some smartass from the Tigers that said Detroit and Cleveland were the only competition in the Central? I wonder what he has to say now. (If he was talking about competing for 3rd place, I guess he was right.) Dmitry Young.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Jun 30, 2005 -> 03:08 PM) Did you get an education? No kidding, that looked like some of your posts.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Jun 30, 2005 -> 03:06 PM) What? Widger>>>>>ben davis. I like Widg, I was just pointing out your bf isn't the best hitter in the universe anymore.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Jun 30, 2005 -> 03:05 PM) :finger 21 of that last 222 retired by Freddy. That ain't very good.

YAWN

qwerty wat happened?

QUOTE(qwerty @ Jun 30, 2005 -> 02:53 PM) Timo is going out to run for thomas? Go to hell ozzie. He's basically become Frank's backup.
