Question:
You a Jazz fan? If so that makes 4. :P
These are the saddest of possible words: "Tinker to Evers to Chance"
Boo! -1
Don’t knock my Jazz!!!!
These are the saddest of possible words: "Tinker to Evers to Chance"
BTW, why didn't they change their name when they moved?
I’m sorry, but the last thing that comes to my mind when I think about Utah is jazz ;)
lol.
I hate the Lakers more than any team except the Cards.

No clue.
They moved the year I was born.
These are the saddest of possible words: "Tinker to Evers to Chance"
They didn't change the name
because they had a whole ton of merchandise with “Jazz” on it that they didn’t want to throw away.
Seriously.
The business of the NBA was a lot different back then than it is now.

Yeah, but he could have been at a lot more if they'd taken some pitches
And, for Z, that’s not bad at all
Is it too much to ask
to ask the boys to run up Looper’s pitch count?

Ken Rosenthal
is saying that the Dodgers have jumped into the Sabathia sweepstakes. If they’re willing to deal Kemp, this could get interesting.

Yes he is
although Rosenthal isn’t reporting on Kemp. I’m just taking the earlier pronouncement that Kemp is available and making a guess.
Rosenthal is saying they want to deal Andy LaRoche, but they might have to deal LaRoche to Pittsburgh for, get this, Jack Wilson.
As if Pittsburgh doesn’t have enough of the LaRoche kids.
It's a girl! Born 1-18-08. 2246 PST. 8 lbs. 1 oz.
If it will make you feel better,
the Cubs are leading 2-0.
"I've never complained about it. I'm thankful to have a jersey." Mark DeRosa, 22 Aug 2007
They need a SS more than a SP.
"I've never complained about it. I'm thankful to have a jersey." Mark DeRosa, 22 Aug 2007
Are you thinking Nomar? Berroa? Hu?
"I've never complained about it. I'm thankful to have a jersey." Mark DeRosa, 22 Aug 2007
They're talking about sending Hu too
for CC. But again, Rosenthal says they want Jack Wilson, and they need to send some prospects that way.
It's a girl! Born 1-18-08. 2246 PST. 8 lbs. 1 oz.
I am utterly amazed at how many teams...
...that have shortstops I covet are trying to upgrade from them.
Well
he likes “gritty veterans.” He spent an awful lot of money on Juan Pierre and Andruw Jones.
It's a girl! Born 1-18-08. 2246 PST. 8 lbs. 1 oz.
Not nearly as bad as Zito.
"I've never complained about it. I'm thankful to have a jersey." Mark DeRosa, 22 Aug 2007
Except no one anticipated Zito's slide
You could see Andruw’s coming a mile away. He already sucked when they shelled out that money.
The Zito deal was bad, but there were a lot of teams that were in the running to look like fools on that one.
I think everyone anticipated Zito's slide.
People just underestimated how quickly it was coming. It was pretty obvious that he wasn’t the same pitcher he was a few years ago.
Yeah, I guess my point was that Jones already sucked
And spending that kind of money on him was absurd
Yes
I think both you and I predicted it on this board.
Zito hasn’t been a great pitcher since 2002 and had been getting worse every year after that.
It's a girl! Born 1-18-08. 2246 PST. 8 lbs. 1 oz.
Yeah.
And people tend to seriously underestimate just how much of a pitcher’s park the Coliseum is. It’s as bad as Petco.
Remember,
Andruw is, at the very least, a great defensive CF, unlike Pierre. Admittedly, defense-only guys aren’t worth $18M, but it’s only 2 years. Even if Zito were decent, 8 years is a long time for a SP.
"I've never complained about it. I'm thankful to have a jersey." Mark DeRosa, 22 Aug 2007
Pierre's an underrated defensive CFer.
Jones is a symptom of a deeper organizational dysfunction more than anything else. The Zito contract is just stupid on stilts.
Except that he can't throw as well as I can.
"I've never complained about it. I'm thankful to have a jersey." Mark DeRosa, 22 Aug 2007
I saw
Bengie Molina score from first on a single hit to Juan Pierr in center. Watching Pierre roll the ball toward home plate and Molina crawl in the same direction was fascinating.
(I’m kidding. But he’s got a terrible arm.)
It's a girl! Born 1-18-08. 2246 PST. 8 lbs. 1 oz.
Yeah, but he's got range.
You can’t make a throw on a ball you can’t even get to. You can hide an arm like his out in center or left.
So, and I'm just asking this as a philosophical question
You’d rather have plus range than a plus arm?
Depends on the range and the arm...
...as well as the position. But generally speaking, true talent level for a throwing arm for an outfielder is +/- 5 runs from the average. True talent level for fielding (catching the ball, basically) is +/- 15 runs. So range, especially in CF, is more important. In RF, there’s a certain bare minimum arm strength you have to posses.
The Twins had a bounty of CFers...
...with Jones and Hunter. They went ahead and basically wrecked Jones’ career by moving him to a corner. He was a really good CFer, defensively and offensively.
He actually
was a pretty good defensive CF for us last season.
It's a girl! Born 1-18-08. 2246 PST. 8 lbs. 1 oz.
Do you classify DeRo
as having adequate RF arm strength?
"I've never complained about it. I'm thankful to have a jersey." Mark DeRosa, 22 Aug 2007
I'm sure he does.
He can play third base, if nothing else. Don’t have Excel at work, or I’d check the ratings.
His defense is down a bit too
And, at some point, you’ve got to hit as an outfielder, and every team in the majors know that if you throw it down and away, Jones will keep hacking
He's currently hitting .206.
That’s why they traded for Berroa. Can they afford to be that patient when the west is so winnable?
"I've never complained about it. I'm thankful to have a jersey." Mark DeRosa, 22 Aug 2007
The West is so winnable every year.
And it’s that attitude that makes them shell out buckets of money on pure crap in free agency. How in the world a team with Kemp and Ethier ends up with Pierre and Jones baffles the crap out of me.
thats stupid
(not you) but the dogders don’t need pitching. they can’t score.
by halfblindcubbiegirl on Jul 4, 2008 8:57 PM CDT up reply actions
Totally agree
But might as well win games by SP. Don’t score much, but shut em down with a Penny, Sabathia, and Lowe combo.
but still you have to score more than 2 runs

"I've never complained about it. I'm thankful to have a jersey." Mark DeRosa, 22 Aug 2007
He's blocked by Escobar. They also have Hernandez behind him.

Sending Francouer down...
...tells me the Braves are close to throwing in the towel. They’ll probably be sellers, not buyers.
60% of their projected rotation is on the DL, 20% was...
There injury list has made the Cubs’ look trivial.
They haven’t been able to sit Francoeur (even though he’s been hurt all year), and give him a chance to work in the cage, because their OF has been so banged up. Now, the problem is so bad they had to send him down. Kotsay still isn’t healthy.
Bobby Cox is a fighter, but even he knows that being swept at home by the Phils is pretty much it—especially since the WC will probably come from the Central.
"I've never complained about it. I'm thankful to have a jersey." Mark DeRosa, 22 Aug 2007
I don't know
I used to cover a couple Braves game every now and then when our beat reporter needed a day off
It was astonishing to see how many silver linings Cox can find
Guy gives up seven runs—“I thought he was gonna throw a no-hitter with that stuff. They just got ahold of a few of em.”
Even if Cox refuses to give up...
...Wren and Schuerholtz aren’t going to trade away young players for rentals to indulge him. They know this isn’t their year.
And Cox is a former GM.
He knows not to do something stupid in their current position.
"I've never complained about it. I'm thankful to have a jersey." Mark DeRosa, 22 Aug 2007
They can't re-sign him
Boras is his agent and the Braves don’t have the money
Could keep him for the draft picks, I guess…
Just guessin'...
No. I think they still feel they have a shot to sign him. If they trade him, he won’t come back.
Even though he’s a Boras guy, his wife is from Atlanta and he went to Ga. Tech. If the Braves can come close to the Yankees’ offer, he might stay.
"I've never complained about it. I'm thankful to have a jersey." Mark DeRosa, 22 Aug 2007

want him bad and the Yankees probably do too.

He's been promoted

But it’s also a really small sample size; both for good and bad.

Maestri
is someone I’m really proud of as he was an unknown guy I saw here in Boise two years ago and said that guy might be something. To see him actually become a prospect gives me great pride. Now I’m just worried we’re going to trade him. :-)
It's a girl! Born 1-18-08. 2246 PST. 8 lbs. 1 oz.
Would you call him a "B level" prospect?
Or is it too early to say?
I wonder if the Cubs will let him play in the WBC. He might have DeRo as a teammate if they do.

when he isn’t the tying run.

Trust me that's
nothing compared to what you would be reading from the ledge jumpers if we were behind.
I think it hit the pole
like it matters. Not sure if I like the Cotts/Ankiel matchup.
We’ll soon find out.

I wouldn't put him in this game.
I’ve been a fan of keeping him in the running, but not going to lie, I would have either gone Cotts or Woody here.
These are the saddest of possible words: "Tinker to Evers to Chance"
