Interesting things to watch in the next week
1) The play of Fontenot and Fukudome. They’re essentially competing for a starting job.
2) Shark (can’t spell his name with my throbbing head). My guess is he will pitch a lot, so Lou can make sure he deserves a playoff roster spot.
3) Pie vs. Hoffpauir for the final roster spot. My money’s on Pie.
4) Z’s final start.
sounds about right
it’ll be interesting, methinks

Would Shark have to go on the DL for one of those guys to get a spot?

The Cubs will have a few roster spots open because of guys who were on the DL
that’s how they could sneak Pie or anyone else in there if need be

You can only designate players to the playoff roster...
…who are either on the 25-man roster or the DL as of Aug. 31st.
However – once you’ve designated a player on the DL to the roster, if he’s still on the DL, you can replace him with any player on the 40-man as of Aug. 31st. Cubs have 4 players on the 60 day DL, I think – I know Rich Hill and Chad Fox are on there.
there you are!
That's the beauty of baseball. You never know what's going to happen until the final out -- Lou
He doesn't have to go on the DL.
Anyone who is eligilble (i.e., anyone who was on the roster or DL on Aug. 31, plus 4 “free” moves from the 40 man roster for the four DL guys) can be on the playoff roster. Also, the roster can be changed every round — Pie could be on the roster for the first round, then be replaced by Hoff for the second round.
"I've never complained about it. I'm thankful to have a jersey." Mark DeRosa, 22 Aug 2007

No way for Hart or Wells.
Plus we should be talking about Howry’s replacement, not Shark’s. LOL.

Colin,
There used to be a stat called “runs created”. I think it was: R + RBI – HR = RC.
If RBIs are a product of opportunity, is this a valid stat? What would it mean?
"I've never complained about it. I'm thankful to have a jersey." Mark DeRosa, 22 Aug 2007
That's runs produced.
It works. I mean, there are better stats out there. But you can work with runs produced.
Would a high RP be a good power hitter, or just a good all-around player?
Would there be any correlation with OPS, since both might signify OBP and power?
"I've never complained about it. I'm thankful to have a jersey." Mark DeRosa, 22 Aug 2007
RP and OPS should correlate reasonably well.
Essentially you end up with a poor man’s linear weights.
OK, I'm just a little bit baffled at how to rate DeRo's season.
His OPS is only .843, but he has scored 100 runs (15th in MLB), despite not batting at the top of the order. He has only 83 RBIs despite batting mostly 5-7.
I tend to think of him as best when batting #1 or #2 (table-setter), but obviously Lou doesn’t. It’s a really good (career) season for him, but is it a really good season in MLB?
"I've never complained about it. I'm thankful to have a jersey." Mark DeRosa, 22 Aug 2007
Colin, just out curiousity
how does his season stack up to the rest of the league’s 6 or 7 hitters?
I would think you could make the argument he’s the best 6 or 7-hole hitter in the NL.
I love to play baseball. I'm a baseball player. I've always been a baseball player. I'm still a baseball player. That's who I am. - Ryne Sandberg
thanks, Colin
I love to play baseball. I'm a baseball player. I've always been a baseball player. I'm still a baseball player. That's who I am. - Ryne Sandberg
Does the fact that he has scored more runs than he has driven in
despite hitting in an RBI slot signify that he is better as a table-setter, or is it just the opportunities (or lack thereof) that he had batting behind a slumping Dome?
"I've never complained about it. I'm thankful to have a jersey." Mark DeRosa, 22 Aug 2007
It could mean a lot of things.
I really don’t care whether a guy scores runs or drives them in, just so long as he contributes.
Besides, I don’t think he really has played much in an RBI spot. He’s “leading off for the bottom of the order.”
very nice DP

How did this end up here?
SBN and I are NOT on speaking terms…

it's messing with me too
there must be a lot of people posting today… that’s what Al said last time we were infected with SBN-itis
That's the beauty of baseball. You never know what's going to happen until the final out -- Lou
It would have looked like a better move if Roberts
could have managed to have a higher OPS than DeRo…

Lopez batting cleanup...
Ladies and Gentleman, the 2008 St Louis Cardinals.
Nobody cares about your fantasy league team
And he came from the Nats
no place to go but low A

I don't know about you guys
But I am totally not stressed out watching this game. It feels good.
Follow me.
Follow me to freedom (a la Charlie Steiner). Overflow thread
I love to play baseball. I'm a baseball player. I've always been a baseball player. I'm still a baseball player. That's who I am. - Ryne Sandberg
Favorite Wrigley Moment of the Year?
Toss up: DeRo’s homer vs Rockies or Soto’s homer vs. Brewers.
Nobody cares about your fantasy league team
I like Lee and Ramirez going back-to-back to tie up the first Sox game, too

Gotta go with
the comeback against the Rockies. Love all the choices, though.

Good for you, Felix!
That's the beauty of baseball. You never know what's going to happen until the final out -- Lou
wow..
Felix can flat out fly around the bases!

What the heck!
I looked away from the TV for 30 seconds and Pie is on 3rd.
Pie has jet rockets in his shoes!

Wow...Pie gets under the tag!
I think we might have gotten a break there

Okay, I knew Felix was fast.
But that would be MONEY in a pinch running situation in October. Wow.

Pie bowls over Jason Varitek
To score the winning run in game 7 of the World Series.
ha ha ha.
That would mean Game 7 was less than 20 minutes from me.
I’m down.
Believe or Leave ~Cubswynn 9/9/2008
Or maybe
Pie bowls over AJ Perizynski to win game 7.
That would mean the game was really far away.
But I have to admit, I’d love it.

Cubs rally on Daley Plaza... fun!

The Offense just exploded in the second half...
…once they stretched the TB defense with a long pass.
I need the Bears D to put the pressure on.
I have them in 2 fantasy leagues!!!

Dome great throw! A man with something to prove I like that!

Okay, odds of koyie on the playoff roster?
With Soto and Blanco I’m thinking slim to nil…
