Future Hall of Famer Ryne Sandberg was drafted by the Philadelphia Phillies in the 20th round of the 1978 draft and made his Major League debut with the...
Actually, I'm surprised there isn't already! As much as sabermetricians are taking over the analysis of the sport, it will only be a matter of time, IMO....
Cub infield ranked #5 in NL by The Sporting News. Check out the comment about Lee & Ramirez: 5. CUBS 1B Derrek Lee, 2B Mark DeRosa, SS Ryan Theriot, 3B Aramis...
Hi, Its true, the cubs need a leadoff hitter real bad.... but like I said, I do not want Roberts...I do not want any cheaters on the Cubs....The last thing we...
From Jayson Stark's column: "There has been so much talk for so long about the Cubs trading for Brian Roberts, you might think that deal would go down 30...
Good stuff, good stuff. I do wonder if Soriano will produce at that spot. He seems to produce at a constant threshold with constant faults (Ks, popups,...
Lou will keep Soriano at leadoff until Hendry aquires someone who can replace him at the top of the order. Fonzie has said in the past that he's more...
Good point. When he was put in the middle of the order in Texas, he didn't seem to produce any better (and some might say, worse) than he did in the lead-off...
I wonder how many times the #5 hitter leads off the second inning. Then if you put Fukudome #6, you've got another speedy, table setting tandem in the 2nd...
If you want to avoid any cheaters, you better start recruiting grade school players. You have to get real and face the facts, if you want to condemn any player...
Hi, That is not my point George. I am not in the business about worrying about the things I cannot control. If it comes out that current players on the Cubs...
... conj - I don't think that anyone accepts it, and it's gotta go. But what I think George is alluding to is that the problem is rampant from the major...
Exactly- and you know I think this is the first time I have seen anyone suggest just wipe it clean and start with a new standard. Face it, we are never going...
good points- I am not advocating for exploding baseball.... I am saying that if the penalties are not very, very strong..it won't deter anyone for trying to...
What's your definition of cheating? Purity?? So you are saying that; No Cub player has never looked into an opposing cather while leading off of second base??...
Today from Buster Olney, at ESPN.com: "The Mariners are awaiting word from Baltimore that the six-player Erik Bedard trade is completed, writes Geoff Baker....
Olney also stated that Gallagher would be the "centerpiece" of the deal. This would seem to indicate that he's the best player they are giving up. If Pie or...
I'm kind of the opinion that the Roberts deal won't get done... With all of the prospects coming aboard via the Tejada & Bedard trades, the O's will need a...
It won't be the end of the world but I'm hoping you're wrong. It looks at this point that the Cubs may get him without giving up any core member of the team. ...
hi, I am inclined not to move Marquis. 191 Innings pitched- 15 quality starts 4.6 ERA I like the eating of innings he provides- plus a bonus with the bat. Lets...
hi, My point was not to examine every incidence of cheating in the history of the game. But it was really just to look at the illegal use of substances, HGH,...
Want to see a Cubs game at Wrigley Field this year? Individual-game tickets for the Cubs' 2008 regular season will go on sale Feb. 22. Tickets will be...
Roberts represents what Podsednik did to the ChiSox, a game changer from the top of the order and balance in the batting order. The price will be a good young...
hi, first of all, if you think those things were and should be part of the game, so be it. again, I am talking about players who are a part of this recent rash...
From The Baltimore Sun: Trading Roberts the next obvious step for Orioles Potential move could have more obstacles than dealing Bedard Dan Connolly | On...
I definitely think it needs to be a strong consequence for people found cheating. One big problem is- HGH has no legitimate detection means right now. And they...
