witesoxfan Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Oct 22, 2008 -> 03:47 PM) what's his fly ball/ground ball ratio? career is 1.07, and I'd guess it's close to 1.10 over the past 5 years. He gets a lot of his outs on strikeouts though too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sircaffey Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 The majority of players perform better at home than on the road no matter the stadium. Buehrle (for his whole career), Vazquez (while on the Sox), Floyd, and Contreras were all better at hitter friendly US Cellular Field than on the road. Danks was the only one better on the road. In the case of Peavy, sure Petco helps a little, but to shrug him off because he pitches in Petco is ridiculous. When healthy, he's one of the best, and would dominate in US Cellular Field as well.

fathom Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Ugh, a rotation of Zambrano, Peavy, Harden, Dempster and Lilly would be one of the best in the NL this decade. http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/8761340...62&ATT=3498 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'm the Padres, I don't do this trade unless Marmol or Soto is included. Hopefully this is just planted in order to get the Braves to push harder to make it happen.

fathom Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 (edited) QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Nov 6, 2008 -> 04:49 AM) Did it feel good taking about a month off to not worry about the Cubs, or did you feel like something was missing in your life? It was absolutely fantastic, and even this, I'm not too worried. It's just ironic they seem linked to top-notch players, while every name we see associated with the Sox is a terrible player (Lugo, Castillo, Taveras). Hopefully this means KW is accomplishing his goal of working under the radar. Edited November 6, 2008 by fathom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitesoxfan101 Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 If last year taught us anything, there is no use worrying about the Cubs until October 1st because the regular season means very little. And even by October 1st, odds are overwhelming that they'll just blow it anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalapse Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Wow, I can't decide which is a worse choice for GG; Young or McLouth. Oh and Torii Hunter won another one.

fathom Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Sounds like Cubs are going to get Peavy this weekend for a package of the ugly Notre Dame guy, Marshall, Pie, and Cedeno. To get one of the 10 best pitchers in baseball (signed long term) for no major pieces in your organization would be a steal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Chappas Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Levine has them or Atlanta getting Peavy. That payroll is going to be $200M in no time and as you see with the other teams that are trying to win with huge payrolls it doesn't necessarily work. Really sad that St.Louis and Houston have nothing to offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really sad that St.Louis and Houston have nothing to offer. St. Louis actually has Ludwick to offer if the Padres think his season last year wasn't a fluke. The Cards have a kid coming up behind him that they want to work in, and that makes one of their OF's expendable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I am the Pads, im asking for no less than Giovany Soto as my centerpiece. Pie, Cedeno and Marshall cant even get playing time for the cubs. Samajdjijajia came up, was good for a bit, then showed who he really was. I dont think that kid will be much more than a decent set up guy.

A few days ago someone challenged me when I pointed out that getting a ton of press coverage for a prospect, i.e. someone coming from Boston or NY, could be an excellent way to make another team think he has higher value. I will hold this as a prime example if that deal happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
