who knows what we gave up, but this move has alot of upside IMO, at least enough to take a shot at it....i dont think hes gonna play everyday, but probably a handful of games a week....if i had to guess masset is involved in this deal somehow

where would he play? i know...its an old and bad joke, but i had to

thats a terrible loss for the cubs

the game is far from over fellas...especially when the cubs are at home

i guess the cubs are seious about limiting hardens use....only 5 IP today and 87 pitches....thats not gonna help that already shaky pen out much

QUOTE (knightni @ Jul 26, 2008 -> 01:09 PM) Why Wassermann, was Russell bad? thats what i was wondering...he had two rough outings where he gave up 2 runs (and some inherited runners iirc) but its not like masset/logan were any better in those games....and i thought he was solid before that..frankly i thought the guy was a better option than nick

QUOTE (3E8 @ Jul 26, 2008 -> 12:44 PM) I wouldn't really say Getz has been pushed abnormally fast. He turns 25 years old next month. He was not injured during college and still compiled an ISO Getz also has the best track record of strike zone discipline of anyone in our minor league organization...before this year i would have agreed with you that he is just a singles hitter...but getz also has 21 doubles this year...on pace for mid 30s... what is puzzling to me is that he was never really a doubles hitter before this year either...but i also think the talent jump from AA to AAA is more significant than the jump in park factor from bham to charlotte, but maybe not either way, if getz continues to show that this moderate power he has shown is for real, than its time to take him seriously... power is generally the last tool to develop and maybe hes just finally developing i realize sweeney was considerably younger, but frankly their numbers were fairly similar and everyone around here creamed their pants over sweeney...which isnt to say i think getz will be better than ryan, i just like what i see right now from getz, and if it continues i think hes a big league player

QUOTE (scenario @ Jul 26, 2008 -> 11:05 AM) I'm assuming that was supposed to be in green, but if not... what's the horrible part? Season AVG G AB R H 2B 3B HR RBI BB SO SB CS OBP SLG OPS vs Left .322 115 18 37 6 1 2 13 10 21 4 3 .370 .443 .814 vs Right .300 223 34 67 16 0 7 30 23 25 5 1 .364 .466 .830 http://web.minorleaguebaseball.com/milb/st...&pid=460051 home vs. road.... still IMO getz is the best position prospect we have (not counting fields or beckham) not sure about defense, which is a huge part of hudsons game, but eventually i think getz gives you similar on base and power numbers as hudson, granted thats certainly not a given and is almost certainly not going to happen right away

http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=3506150 stark said it will be done by the end of the day....not a bad package cleveland gets back...glad to see blake out of the division though...seemed like he always came up with the big hit

is that mccutchen any relation to andrew? the one the pirates already have

getz has a chance to be a solid regular...i wouldnt at all be surprised to see him at 2b next year

anyone see the Q-uperman sign? that had to be soxfan1 right?....i think its him with TCQ dressed as superman in his avatar...they showed a dude who had the same pic on his sign at the end of the game

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 23, 2008 -> 03:37 PM) Good thing we left one of the worst pitchers in baseball over the last week in to allow 2 insurance runs. for a reliever to be one of the worst pitchers in baseball over the course of 1 week means absolutely nothing

richard reminds me of scott schoenweiss

good news....bears start camp tomorrow seriously though...we're just in a mini rut...pitching has been lackluster, JD being dinged up wont help, but we will come out of this...most important thing over the long haul is that javy had a good bounce back outing...1 bad mistake on 2-0 to a helluva hitter

QUOTE (Wanne @ Jul 21, 2008 -> 08:05 PM) Was that a changeup?...I only saw the slo-mo replay. I swear...friggin Javy. looked like a hanging slider

QUOTE (letsgoarow @ Jul 21, 2008 -> 05:25 PM) Bizzaro Kramer? "hey i bought you some groceries!"

QUOTE (BurlyMan56 @ Jul 21, 2008 -> 05:50 PM) Rotoworld.com says Scott Feldman is pitching tonight instead of Hurley feldman? from across the hall?

with the exception of russells last outing i liked what i saw from him and frankly id rather have him on the roster than masset, but im excited to see richard....when he was drafted not a lot of people expected too much out of him,

i went epstein, but frankly i think if beane had epsteins resources it would be beane.... i also think theo is just the face, or sort of a puppet for bill james and larry lucchino, but i still voted him because that organization does alot of things right and gets the best results

sewer caps

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 17, 2008 -> 05:25 PM) Um...baseball isn't a capped league. yeah, bad choice of words....financial flexability....you know what i meant

loaiza against Price tonight.....gonna be ugly

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 17, 2008 -> 06:19 PM) There is NO acquisition in major league baseball more perfect for this team than Ichiro Suzuki. i agree....unfortunately we dont have the prospects to land him or the capspace.... it would take a package as big as the biggest ones weve seen lately...like what atlanta gave texas for teixeira or what the mets gave minny...maybe even more...and outside of dealing danks + Poreda + getz + richard, we dont have the pieces
