QUOTE(indyman @ Nov 15, 2005 -> 03:58 PM) The CW is Iguchi would be a much better hitter if he wasn't batting second. By batting second he is distracted, and has to give him self up all the time. What do the facts say? Batting Average with man on 1st: .326 (slugging .511) Batting Average with none on/none out: .205 It doesn't appear batting second hurts Iguchi. He actually maybe getting better pitches to hit. Why would you only look at those two specific sitations??? There are a bunch of different scenarios that Iguchi would either have to give himself up, or get to swing the bat. Your picks seems to be biased towards exactly what you want them to portray. The most important stat when looking at whether Tads is hurt by hitting second is to look at his average with two strikes. Because he sees a lot of fastballs, and has to take them to give Pods a chance to run, that is a much more vital stat. Look at how bad hits 0-2, 1-2, and 2-2 to get a more accurate view of the reality of hitting behind a base stealer, because odds are he will be taking strikes in order to give Pods a chance to steal. Also by focusing only on a runner at first base you are looking only at the runner who has not moved. How many times did Pods steal 2nd only to be moved over by Tads on a groudball to the right side? That wouldn't factor into your numbers either I gotta say if you are going to say we need to trade someone, you need to make a better case than this...

QUOTE(White Sox Josh @ Nov 15, 2005 -> 11:59 AM) Yes but Lawton was such a bust that they had to trade him. Had he played well he wouldn't be traded. I'd be willing to bet that the two Lawton trades happened when his steroid test results leaked out. No evidence, just a feeling.

And in a related story, the sun is indeed "hot".

Good to see this is happening. I am especially happy that they added speed to the list.

QUOTE(The Critic @ Nov 15, 2005 -> 03:31 PM) I think I've been called both of them. If they expanded the list to 20, I've probably been called all of those too.... And that's just by me... s*** where did my green keyboard go to???

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Nov 15, 2005 -> 11:49 AM) The post office was making a mint off the .37 cents for a while. They did a lot of re-bidding moving the postal mail around, cut costs, and fuel wasn't an issue really until about 15-18 months ago. In case you didn't know it, Fed-Ex moves most of the mail around now. I'm VERY familiar how all that went down. Yeah, IIRC they got the last increase after 9-11 and Anthrax stuff right? Fuel has got to be their big cost now, and I doubt they are effecient enough to actually hedge their costs like some of the airlines do.

FYI, The Trib is doing a special college preview section in tomorrows paper.

Why not just make it 40 cents and save another rate increase proposal in a year? To be honest with the increase in gas prices I am surprised they aren't looking for a bigger jump.

QUOTE(Antonio Osuna @ Nov 14, 2005 -> 06:00 PM) At the end of the day, its "Most Valuable Player", not "Best Player". If we want Best Player, we can just look at the stats. I'd argue that Ortiz was more valuable to the Red Sox than A-Rod was to the Yankees. But I'm not about to waste digital breath defending a member of the AL team I hate the most. If that was it, Travis Hafner and Paul Konerko should have been battling it out of the award instead of two guys who had 8 figure salary hitters protecting them. Hafner and Konerko were way more important to the Sox and Indians success than ARod and Ortiz were to the Red Sox success.

QUOTE(easyw @ Nov 14, 2005 -> 11:40 PM) Another thing to keep in mind, whatever the figure is for "full" season ticket holders, I'd bet about half of those seats are corporations, NOT individuals. The Sox have a huge - and growing - fan base, but it is not one with deep pockets. Corporations don't have deep pockets?
