  1. As much as Valentine would like to bring Iggy north. I don't think that they want to put a lot of pressure on him if he is not ready. Also, it would force their hand to dump Aviles or Punto. I think they will wait until Iggy plays his way to the big leagues or one of the other 2 gets injured.
  2. I looked at the stats one time. The proposition that the CS percentage being lower with Wake on the mound was not true historically. That's my recollection.
  3. Salty's footwork looked better on Sunday than I remember. Little tweaks like that can make a big difference. Bobby V is great at picking up stuff like that. There's not much they can do about the fact that he doesn't catch the ball well.
  4. There was one vote in this poll for "other.". I am curious whether that person had a particular pitcher in mind.
  5. So with Silva out of the mix, Aceves, Padilla, Doubront and Cook remain to compete for the 5th spot. Cook is cooked. He has more physical problems than Silva. Aceves is the best of the rest, but we really need him more in the pen. I hope Doubront can take a big step forward, because Padilla is a walking MASH unit. Last year, he had arm and neck surgeries.
  6. We can live with these 2 guys at catcher. If one of them flops or gets injured, Lavarnway is waiting in the wings. The biggest issue for this team wll be the way the pitching falls into place.
  7. In the poll about the 5th starter coming north, there were 25 votes and no one picked Silva. Everyone was right about that.
  8. No, because eggs can't come and that is a scientifically provable truth.
  9. Let's change topic. What came first the chicken or the egg?
  10. Please take this truth vs relativism debate to a non-sports forum. It is just going in a ridiculous circle.
  11. Silva is down. That was fast. They will fall quickly one by one. These guys: Silva, Cook and Maine are all badly damaged. Padilla is the only one with any shot of contributing. We have no depth in this department. If we think we do, we are deluding ourselves.
  12. The first garbage bag has been put out to the curb.
  13. I think he was exposed in the weakened lineup in September. I don't think it was about conditioning.
  14. If he's league average, he's adequate and tall. If he isn't league average, he sucks.
  15. UN, i don't know what you are posting after my posts, and. I don't care.
  16. This argument should be in the cut the crap thread.
  17. One comment on this whole argument that started because one poster essentially said that Miller stinks and would never amount to anything. The important part of that statement was that he stinks, but we have been engaged in a ridiculous argument for 2 days about whether "never" means "never". I have seen this argument many times from Dutchy, Imperial59, YazSideburn and atWork. They always engaged in this type of argument that wastes every one's time. Feel free to debate the meaning of "always" in that statement. It is very annoying that the ignore feature is practically useless when stupidity like this is engaged in for pages. Absolute Truth: Dutchy et al = UN
  18. Relative Truth: Andrew Miller is tall Relative Truth: Andrew Mller throws hard Absolute truth: Andrew Miller throws left-handed Absolute Truth: Andrew Miller is a stinky major league pitcher
