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.

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.

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.
by cwyers on Jul 4, 2008 9:15 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
So, and I'm just asking this as a philosophical question
You’d rather have plus range than a plus arm?
by cocknfire on Jul 4, 2008 9:16 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
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.
by cwyers on Jul 4, 2008 9:18 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Jacque Jones laughs at your minimal arm strength
by cocknfire on Jul 4, 2008 9:18 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
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.

was a pretty good defensive CF for us last season.

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
by cocknfire on Jul 4, 2008 9:11 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
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?

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.

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.

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.
