    RJ to SF

    Well, you might have to read between the lines a little bit. There is more information there than you think if you look harder. Like Jim McClennan did http://www.azsnakepit.com/2009/1/8/714166/casting-the-runes-analyzin

    The 2007 "Adopt A Diamondback" Thread

    It may have seemed like it happened all the time to you, but as the season went on, he made that mistake less and less. It took him a while, I agree, but he finally figured it out. This was something very specifically discussed at length, both on the broadcasts and on message boards. Like I...

    The 2007 "Adopt A Diamondback" Thread

    He improved alot as the season wore on, and the advanced defense metrics showed him as league average last year. http://www.baseballthinkfactory.org/files/dialed_in/discussion/2006_national_league_gold_gloves_as_i_see_it/ If you don't like advanced metrics, (I do) and just like to look at...

    Not looking good that the D'Backs are going to sign Max Scherzer

    Although the examples of getting Drew and Upton signed after lengthy delays have been held up as giving hope to getting Scherzer signed....for some reason I have been skeptical of him actually getting signed for a while now. IMO, this is because I think the D backs view him as a risk due to...

    Dbacks given 72 hour window, these are the players involved in Johnson trade

    Byrnes is really a platoon player thrust into an everyday role Vs RHP .242/.304/.410 .714 OPS Vs. LHP .300/.357/.527 .884 OPS Of course 2/3 of his at bats have come against righties, as roughly 2/3 of the pitchers in baseball are righties. A STRICT platoon of Davanon against...

    Randy should be the closer

    He is paid too much for that. They need innings from RJ to justify the trade.

    Zito agrees to deal with Giants

    I thought the other teams were responding to the D Backs bringing in Doug Davis and Dana Eveland :-) Seriously, losing Schmidt and getting Zito is not a move UP for the Giants...and they are now saddled with that huge contract. I am REALLY happy about this, believe it or not. Sure, getting...

    Don't Fall For It!

    yes, KLL's post explains where the team is in their success cycle perfectly. By being prudent now, the team will be set up for a run of division titles and playoff appearances starting in 2008. By going for broke in 2007, the team would be putting the next 6 years at risk.

    Don't Fall For It!

    Well, the guys that have signed multi year contracts already are the easiest of course, because the information is readily available at this site: http://mlbcontracts.blogspot.com/ Then, you have all the first and second year players. Major League minimum is 380,000 for next season. So I...

    RJ back to Dbacks?

    Thanks to the several posters welcoming me. I registered here a long time ago, but have not been posting, although I have been lurking. Happy Holidays to all.

    RJ back to Dbacks?

    This is the kind of deal I could live with: Yankees trade RJ and 5 million for Eric Byrnes, and one of Ross Ohlendorf, Evan Maclane, Greg Smith. Addition by subtraction in the case of Byrnes, as then Scott Hairston can play in LF. He is a better hitter than Byrnes, better by enough to...

    Right now, we will have to latch on to anything positive.

    Looks like we got some decent pitching today

    El Duque had a good gameagainst the Angels., throwing 6 Ip, 1 ER , 5 hits, walked 2, struck out 2, ...the lone run on a homer by Morales in the 3rd. And Nippert must have had a good outing against the Padres, as it's 2-1 in the 9th. He must have just let up the one run in the 4th.

    Rotation: Vargas and Hasley to battle for #5 spot in rotation, El Duque #2 starter

    It's going to be tough to remain patient this year. Like McCray said, I would rather watch a youngin get shelled, in the hopes that he learns something from it, than watch the ancients and the awful (Ortiz) continue to get shelled, for no other reason then they are getting paid too much to...
