from Will Carroll's latest.. It's not often that I have to wonder whether I can actually describe an injury on the radio. When I was talking to Dave Kaplan on WGN the other night, I actually had to ask "Can I say 'twisted testicle' on the air?" Answer? Yes. Do I ever want to? No. Pie has a problem that is, as you'd expect, exceptionally painful, but not a long-term concern. How it happened is unclear, but it's luckily an uncommon problem in men. Usually, the problem will correct itself, but sometimes, it has to be--you guessed it--untwisted with "surgical or manual methods." Try not to imagine it and know that Pie isn't going to miss much time. This little twist in his spring training shouldn't decide whether or not he gets the starting nod in center field

"We're not going to leave resources that would go into the payroll and go into our restoration plans on the table to appease people who say, 'I don't think you should do it.'" Jesus fuck, that makes me want to strangle Crane Kenney. The Trib selling the naming rights has fuck all to do with payroll or restoration plans; they'll be long out of the picture when any restoration begins and they'll probably be gone before another payroll is set. This is PURELY about pumping up the volume of Wrigley Field so they can coerce a higher price from the State in a rigged frigging deal that those of us in Illinois are going to have to pay for. FUCK.

"and to make matters worse he was a left fielder, delivering meager run production from a position that really can't afford that luxury." sigh... its so not 1960 anymore. we have SS and CF who hit for power and C's who hit for ob%/avg. the sum of your team is worth more than looking at any position and its batting strength. reminds me of an "argument" i had with someone who was claiming Ichiro in RF is useless while Ichiro in CF was a plus...based on things that have absolutely nothing to do with his glove, what his teammates were doing, or the fact that what some other RF does with a bat has nothing to do with what Ichiro does with a bat. its time to let that argument die a long overdue death.

Well, the argument is correct, but the application of it in this case isn't very good. Not even counting non-stolen base baserunning, Coleman had a better years in Left than Manny Ramirez put up last year, according to BP. Coleman batted leadoff and played left field for the '85 Cards. He wasn't a very good OBP guy, but he was an outstanding defender (ET McGhee played center) and he was a terror on he basepaths. That Cards team had about 60 fewer errors than their competition. He had a bad season in 1994, but the next season he rebounded to a respectable .348 OBP. One of the things that this type of statistical review trivializes is the manager's decision process. It's not what Coleman did for the first half of 1994 that made a difference to the manager on July 6th when he was filling out his lineup card. It's what the manager expected Coleman to do on July 6th.

    Hi Arizona Phil!

    Exciting to see Naz Mule in box scores a few times. What's his stuff like now after the TJS?

  • Childersb3 (view)

    Mastrobuoni can't come back, yet

    Wisdom does have an option left. He can hide in Iowa if Jed DFA's someone else

    Does Brennan Davis get shown the door? I know it's too early for that, but these injuries are crunching the roster of a 12-7 team playoff demands and BDavis isn't going to help anytime soon.

    Someone has to go to add Peralta. And Canario isn't going to get to play everyday regardless of RHers or LHers. Neither is Tauchman. Also don't see PCA getting a chance over Peralta.

    If Jed does those moves:

    4 OF: Belli, Peralta, Canny, Tauch

    2 C: Gomes and Amaya

    2 DH: Cooper and Mervis

    5 INF: Busch, Nico, Dansby, Morel, Madrigal

    Little short on OF depth but two injuries will do that

    I have had the pleasure of watching some of the young A's pitchers lately (first Joe Boyle the last day of Minor League Spring Training in March, and more recently Luis Morales last week and Steven Echavarria yesterday at Extended Spring Training), and it reminds me of the Miami Marlins a couple of years ago. A really nice collection of young pitchers. It will be interesting to see what the A's will get for two years of ex-Cub Paul Blackburn at the Trade Deadline (there should be a robust market for Blackburn).

    Good deal

    MB needs some talent infusion!

  • Arizona Phil (view)

    Childersb3: Very possible. Suriel, too.

    DJL: if a pitcher is recalled to be the 27th man for a doubleheader and then is optioned back to the minors the next day, the 15-day "clock" does NOT reset. The one day call-up for the doubleheader is treated like it never happened with respect to a pitcher having to spend at least 15 days on optional assignment before he can be recalled.

    Probably the only reason David Peralta is still in the organization (he is at AAA Iowa) is to be available in case anything bad were to happen to Ian Happ (which it just did). So if Happ needs to go on the IL, the Cubs can select Peralta to play LF, DFA Wisdom (and hope he and what remains of his $2.725M salary gets claimed off waivers), and recall Mervis to platoon at DH with Cooper (with Canario / Tauchman sharing RF), at least until Suzuki and Happ are back...

    i'd just like to take a moment to express to the world i'm still pissed willson contreras is not a cub when the pricetag was 5/87m (17.5m/yr).

    it would be nice to have a legacy-type player to stick around, especially one with his leadership and the respect he gets from his peers.  cubs fans deserved more than 1 season of contreras + morel...that was gold.

    happ, right hamstring tightness, day-to-day (hopefully 0 days).

    he will be reevaluated tomorrow.

  • Childersb3 (view)

    I guess I'm not looking for that type of AB 

    Just a difference of opinion
