QUOTE(chitownsportsfan @ Apr 26, 2006 -> 09:09 PM) Give me a break Farmer: "A walk to him (Pods) when healthy is usually like giving up a double or triple". The more I listen the more I'm thinking Singleton is the lesser of two "evils".

Pods grounds out.

Free agent I believe.

Charlotte up 7-5 in the 5th. Gonzalez 4-4, 3 RBI. Rogo 2-2, SB. Redding roughed up early. Barons @ Biscuits, Liotta going for BHam. Hogs rained out. Kanny loses 4-0, just 2 hits, including an Allen double.

QUOTE(shawnhillegas @ Apr 26, 2006 -> 07:19 PM) right now i think hes more talented (offensively) than brian anderson He can hit the ball further.

Good to see you appreciate African-Americans there, Balta.....

VORP = value over replacement player (I believe)

QUOTE(RME JICO @ Apr 26, 2006 -> 04:49 PM) Some interesting numbers. 7 batters in the top 127, and 4 pitchers in the top 57. I know it is still early, but the team looks pretty solid. VORP Rankings MLB Rank VORP Jim Thome 4 17.0 Paul Konerko 15 11.6 Jermaine Dye 23 10.1 Joe Crede 88 5.5 Tadahito Iguchi 98 5.2 AJ Pierzynski 100 5.2 Pablo Ozuna 127 3.8 Alex Cintron 225 0.9 Ross Gload 254 0.4 WTF? A triple must mess with this Brian Anderson 391 -0.9 Juan Uribe 460 -2.0 Does this take D into account? Still errorless I believe Chris Widger 473 -2.4 Scott Podsednik 520 -4.1 Robert Mackowiak 524 -4.4 -- Aaron Rowand 110 4.8 Carl Everett 235 0.8 Willie Harris 443 -1.4 Frank Thomas 540 -5.7 * out of 551 batters ----------------------------------- Pitchers MLB Rank VORP Jose Contreras 1 15.9 Mark Buehrle 7 14.2 Javier Vazquez 31 8.4 Brandon McCarthy 57 6.2 Boone Logan 158 2.9 heh Bobby Jenks 159 2.9 Neal Cotts 193 1.9 Matt Thornton 205 1.6 Freddy Garcia 284 -0.3 Jon Garland 345 -2.6 Cliff Politte 348 -2.8 -- Luis Vizcaino 86 4.9 Damaso Marte 195 1.9 Orlando Hernandez 301 -0.9 [b]this shot up today[/b[ *out of 407 pitchers

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Apr 26, 2006 -> 12:32 PM) I love putting the bass booster on, turning the volume all the way up, and listening to music in the library. Good thing you like message boards cause in a few years you aren't going to be able to have a conversation with anyone.

If you guys thought Baylor-Iowa State football was intense, wait til Iowa State- Illinois. Just wait.

QUOTE(soxhawks @ Apr 26, 2006 -> 01:34 PM) I think it's a good idea, but I think TCU to the Big 12 makes more sense than Utah Which Oklahoma school comes north?

QUOTE(Jimbo's Drinker @ Apr 26, 2006 -> 12:18 PM) I don't Why is that? Two of the best homecourts in the midwest, with Illinois' being one of the best in the nation.....Illinois would be the new Kansas on Iowa State's schedule. The Illinois side of the rivalry would pick up after we beat them in the first few meetings....

However if that did happen, I have a feeling ISU vs. Illinois basketball could develop into a rivalry.

Both ISU and Illinois would benefit from being able to have a shot at a conference win in football.....because ISU would instantly become one of the worst football teams in the Big 10errr+2.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Apr 26, 2006 -> 09:27 AM) I usually sleep between 5-6 hours a night. Last night I slept for 8, today I feel like s***. wtf? Isn't it weird how you can get way too much sleep and still feel tired, yet you could get 4 hours of sleep and feel energetic?

Jason....any thoughts on Corey McIntosh? Came from Fullerton College, was the Cali JC POY and just committed to ISU....

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Apr 26, 2006 -> 08:29 AM) I like it, although Iowa State is currently in better shape and position for growth than Mizzou athletics IMO, so I'd take the Cyclones. Jamie Pollard was a freakin' godsend. Thank you, Wisconsin.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Apr 26, 2006 -> 08:28 AM) Also from the "coming out of nowhere" department, stud 2006 forward Tyler Smith picks Iowa. GREAT pickup for the Hawks assuming he qualifies, congrats to the Iowa fans on here. We're holding out hope Steve Alford coaches him for his time at Iowa.....

Iowa State would be trashing a lot of history, being in the same league with at least 5 of the original Big 8 since early this century. I don't think there'd be a lot of support from our side for it.

I gotta imagine it'll be Matt for the ninth unless Oz wants to get Cliff more work....

Sleeper will be Agustin Montero. 6 H in 13 IP. WHIP of .77. It'll probably be Javier, but we've got some guys doing well.

So, probably looking at Lopez or Montero. Probably not Trace or Haegs.

So, yeah.

Gload with a triple.
