QUOTE(Jeckle2000 @ Mar 9, 2006 -> 01:05 AM) Well to be fair US Cellular field is hardly the hardest place in the league to play CF... Hell he'd be better then Carl Everett was when he was our starting CF... Somehow adding another potential 40 HR hitter in the lineup just makes me want to cream my pants... How is he going to hit 40 homers when he plays 30 games. What a HR/Game ratio.

QUOTE(Jeckle2000 @ Mar 9, 2006 -> 12:57 AM) Ohh well either way... Is anyone else hoping that KW now just says payroll be damned and swings a trade with the Reds for Ken Griffey Jr and say Kent Mecker.... Griffey and Mecker for Borchard, Any outfield prospect not named Anderson or Sweeney, and one of our top pitching prospects... If KW did that then I think I would just cream my pants on the spot... The Griffey ship sailed about a year ago around the trade deadline. We got this slugger named Thome who fills that position. Griffey hurts himself when he farts, so I dont think he would be anything for us besides a DH.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Mar 8, 2006 -> 05:04 PM) Do you remember when I wrote him an email about a trade rumor we made up, and it was mentioned slightly on his site the next week? That guy is a joke. Hence why mlbtraderumors.com is a worthless site. The guy uses fanboards as his source for rumors. Half the stuff we come up with here are "wishes". Imagine if this guy comes here in late June/July when chaveztalk starts up again.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Mar 8, 2006 -> 05:00 PM) Maybe you or your buddies at Rotoworld can name a few better back-ups since he is an average one. Rotoworld has some great contributing writers. Such as the guy from mlbtraderumors.com who had all of these insider rumors that never every panned out. Remember how one of those insider rumors was exactly like a post that someone put on this website a week before that said his father was one of the Whitesox owners. It was pretty much verbatim quote of the soxtalk thread on mlbtraderumors. The minute some of us saw that, we dismissed that site, and now I have some reservations on any site that uses that guy as a writer.

Gload cut off Anderson's throw. Anderson had a shot at home. Chris and Farmio are talking like Gload messed up on the cut.

Leadoff single, after going 0-2 on the hitter.

Tim Redding is in.

QUOTE(fathom @ Mar 8, 2006 -> 03:12 PM) That's what I've heard from the Baseball America people His curveball is supposedly a plus pitch though. Its all about location, and then using that pitch to offset his fastball.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Mar 8, 2006 -> 02:55 PM) I don't know what he's doing in the spring so far. But he was ranked the Padres #1 prospect by BA. He pretty much dominated at AA last year.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Mar 8, 2006 -> 02:49 PM) I'm not at all judging him by this performance. But I still wish we would've taken Carrillo. I hope Broadway makes me eat crow, though. I have the same feeling about Cesar. I liked him over broadway.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Mar 8, 2006 -> 02:47 PM) Come on Lance, you are better than this. Lance is doing his best Felix Diaz impersonation.

QUOTE(SSH2005 @ Mar 8, 2006 -> 02:46 PM) Gload is gone, lol. I wonder if he will get the teeshirt and parking validation that Bentz got.

mack robs a dong. Broadway getting rocked so far.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Mar 8, 2006 -> 02:31 PM) Lance Broadway in the game. I thought Hermy was supposed to go two innings today? Broadway promptly walks the first hitter.

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Mar 8, 2006 -> 01:44 PM) What's Baj's ERA+ ? Could any resident stathead, or BP Subscriber PLEASE tell me what is the point in looking at OPS or OPS+ for smaller frame baseball players whose roles are NOT to to hit hit home runs? Amen to this.

QUOTE(chitownsportsfan @ Mar 8, 2006 -> 01:05 PM) Yea, a career OPS+ of 85. Another "eh" trade. I guess these guys are "eh" then. Last years OPS+ numbers of guys that were similiar. Pods OPS+ 86 Uribe OPS+ 85 AJ OPS+ 90 Then we have to look at frame of reference. Is Alex being asked to replace those guys. No. Here are the OPS+ numbers for the group of guys he is asking to replace. Timo Perez OPS+ 48 Willie Harris OPS+ 72 Jeff Blumm OPS+ 33

I like Gload, I was one of the people that wanted him up last year. However When we needed a backup first baseman last year more than anything. Ozzie and KW decided to use Timo Perez at one point, Dye at another. Now Ross's injury would keep him from play the OF, however he could still play 1st. He was also hitting at a .350 clip in AAA at the point and we needed offense, yet he still was down in the minors. Now if that doesnt speak volumes on how this is going to go nothing does. Ross and/or Borchard are gone.

QUOTE(Rex Kickass @ Mar 8, 2006 -> 11:57 AM) Umm, they need to do that in reverse order. Multitasking Rex. They can do it simultaneously. Have the one bus sending the freaks out the door to prison, and new recruits with new rules coming in. Have the defrocking and excommunication happen as part of their intake procedure at the jail.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Mar 8, 2006 -> 10:06 AM) http://www.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/europe/03/08...s.ap/index.html Now I know why my cousins shudder when I mention that I was an altar boy They need to allow married priests to replenish the ranks, and then defrock, excommunicate, and then hand over to authorities the freaks who touch kids. This broken record of abuse needs to stop.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Mar 8, 2006 -> 11:21 AM) BTW, im liking our Sunday lineup this year. Our Sunday lineup looks better than some teams starting lineups. LOL

From rotoworld earlier this year Think about how much our bench has improved from last year. Timo and Willie have been replaced with Alex Cintron and Mack. WOW, great job Kenny.

I think Borchard gets moved now. Someone(the padres who tried to get him late last year) will want him.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Mar 6, 2006 -> 03:50 PM) Sweeney crushed a HR to right. 3-1 Sox. Good to see some power out of Sweeney. Hopefully his wrists are better this year. That kid has a pretty swing. He is one of my favorite prospects.
