    Edgar Gonzalez

    Villareal no, Gonzalez use. Villareal was signed in 1998, so he's been in the organization for several years, moving his way steadily up, despite his youth. BK basically went straight from Korea to Arizona. Edgar Gonzalez was in A ball last year I believe, that's too quick. I think Villareal...

    Baseball draft, June 3rd & 4th

    Undrafted free agent is anyone who was not initially acquired via the draft. It applies to foreigners, who are not subject to the draft, and to any Americans who were not drafted. It's uncommon for an American player to make the majors through the undrafted free agent route, though, of course...

    ESPN reports Kim for Hillenbrand trade

    Well I have been saying since Damian Miller was traded that the D-Backs are cutting salaries and payroll and there has not been one single move made that didn't cut payroll by replacing a more expensive player with a less expensive, except signing McCracken to a way excessive salary. Miller >...

    Why does everyone hate Kim?

    This is the first time that the D-Backs have been in a trading away of players mode, instead of trading unknown prospects for stars from other teams - so it's a new experience. Phillies have routinely engaged in this practice. They bad mouthed the heck out of Curt on his way out of town, and...

    Craig Ansman

    I checked McCracken's salary. He's making $1.75 mil. Dellucci only makes $900,000. But it gets worse, and this confuses me, but Greg Colbrunn, according to ESPN's salary numbers, is only making $750,000. I thought he signed for $1.75 mil, what he made last year. McCracken was arbitration...

    Elmer stinks!

    Then RLakin explain the fact that they traded Damian Miller for two bags of balls and are playing two pre-arbitration catchers. They could have kept Durazo and not played Overbay. Gracie was signed as a bench player and to mentor Overbayand to keep fans happy. They don't want Williams or...

    Elmer stinks!

    Well, see I recognize this behavior by a club very well - it's as you say what they do when they wish to get rid of somebody and know it won't sell with the fans - so they start disparaging the person's attitude and character. Phillies did this with Curt Schilling and Scott Rolen - that Bob...

    Minor league update

    Ditto TeamoneBaseball. Several of my Phillies guys subscribe to this. Those are the two biggies in terms of top 100 lists. Here is their site Team One Baseball

    Minor league update

    D-Backs minor leagues sure have improved even if nobody else seems to realize it. None of the major publications rated Brandon Webb highly and look what he's doing. Have the D-Backs been drafting well and/or is it good minor league instruction and operations. Don't know much about who is in...

    Good article by Jayson Stark

    Curt and Jason Stark are friends. And Jason is a Philly guy too. :)

    Reality TV Comes to baseball

    This is really wild. Coming to my hometown. I'll have to stop by and watch this all being filmed, what a scream. I wonder what legendy coaches and future hall of famers will be the judges? Randy Johnson's agents is one of the persons involved with it. I'm not into this reality TV stuff at...

    The Stopper pitches today!

    Usually the D-Backs bullpen does come through. I guess everyone has to have a down day. Good news, though was that in this series, Myers looked seriously good. He will be a big boost if he is pitching well. I guess with Curt and Randy you can afford to have one pitcher on the team only go 5...

    That's because our offense is offensive.

    Phillies do not need Schilling's poison

    Ryan, it's not just Shonda, its his kids who are as fair skinned as they can be and may likely have a predisposition to skin cancer as well. I read somewhere that they kids play outdoors after dark because of the fear of exposure to the sun. They wear special protective swimwear, I heard an...

    Did Matt Williams prove my point for any of you?

    Forrestham, I inartfully worded my response. When I said "they" I didn't mean the D-Backs, I meant the team picking him up would only be responsible for the major league minimum. That's the problem with DFAing someone and having to put him through waivers, that some other team can pick him up...

    Memo to Cintron

    He DWKB, I noticed your signature line. I don't think I've ever been a huge fan of chemistry and intangibles as opposed to stats. I certainly do think they are way overrated and I think I've consistently held that position, though maybe over time I've to be more of a stat fan. But when it...

    Great game again by Dessens

    Elmer is beginning to remind me of Albie Lopez and Rick Helling. No consistency. Good game, bad game.

    Memo to Cintron

    Tony Womack is not a good role model. :rolleyes: I heard Schulte say that Cintron took 4 pitches in his first two at bats tonight and 3 pitches in his first at bat last night. I'm sure that isn't what he was doing in Tucson.

    Did Matt Williams prove my point for any of you?

    Steve, I believe that if Tony was designated for assignment and he refused that the D-Backs would be out from under his contract. He's not a 10 and 5 guy, so I don't think that comes into effect. Tony would be crazy to refuse the assignment. However, the more likely scenario would be that...

    crowd at BOB

    I don't get your point. Why are you complaining about fans who come early and show up late, and only appear because it's a social event. The alternative is empty seats. That would really be great. I'm sure Jerry Colangelo would prefer to have 25,000 really hip, in tune knowledgeable fans to...

    Did Matt Williams prove my point for any of you?

    Mike Lieberthal should be shot for calling for a curve ball on an 0-2 pitch to Matty. He can't hit fastballs any more, but he can still put a mistake out of the park.

    Are SBs really just running in place?

    Your stats are really interesting, I would have said you were dead wrong that stolen bases didn't help the Marlins. they sure hurt the Phillies when we played them. What shocks me is that the Marlins slugging and home runs are greater than the A's. The only quibble that I have with your...
