Talent need not apply at ESPN

EY is the younger version of Joe Morgan.

I want Dan Shulman, Orel, and Phillips to do every game I see on ESPN. That is a good group when they work together.

Is it really going to matter that much

the big market teams (Yankees, Sox, Cubs etc..) are going to sell out and the other teams there is what a 5-10,000 person difference. A number that seems like a lot but in the grand scheme of things not a ton of money.

The first rule of running on Ichiro is that you don't run on Ichiro

really, I wouldn't think twice.

A guy who potentially could be our #5 starter, potential pen guy, and potential 4th outfielder

for an all-star RF who hits .330 with 20-30 HR 100+ RBI

by Dbullsfan on Jul 15, 2008 10:05 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

It wouldn't be nearly enough

We’d obviously make that deal. The Rockies will not.

For 1.5 years of that guy. And he'll be a

.300/360/.540 hitter away from Coors. Not with it.

Plus Canadians are easily manipulated.

We can sign Bay long-term, not so much with Holliday/Boras.

by R.J. Anderson on Jul 15, 2008 10:10 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Yes

He’s going to steal 25 bases and can play defense. Bay can do neither of those things. They are very similar hitters, but Holliday is the better player.

He plays an average LF. He'd move to a more challenging right.

I just don't think you can completely discredit everything a guy does

because he plays in Coors. Not to mention 2008 Coors is different than late 90’s early 2000 Coors.I remember hearing about them changing the balls to counteract the thin air.

We have the depth in the farm

why should we be scared and lose are chance to win this year by getting a guy like Murton instead of ponying up and getting Holliday.

by Dbullsfan on Jul 15, 2008 10:14 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Murton wouldn't be that far off for four years, and cheap

by P Brady on Jul 15, 2008 10:14 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

woohoo we an have a below average RF for 4 years

Instead of an all-star for 2 but it’s okay we will have a couple extra arms in the pen.

My guess is if we have Murton he won’t be our starting RF in 2 years anyway.

by Dbullsfan on Jul 15, 2008 10:17 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

No, we'd have an above average RF

And my guess is if we have Holliday he won’t be our starting right fielder in two years either, unless you think Boras is missing out on that payday.

When to Matt Murton become above average.

The Cubs gave him every oppurtunity he could possibly want to start in LF and he couldn’t do it.
