the ball will go under Ibanez's glove like Bill Buckner and the Mets will come out of nowhere and win game 7.Sharp said:Ibanez is so done, I hope he loses the Phillies the World Series for them somehow.

Windu said:thats nice. But considering its about who will be the better option going forward and costanza has a sample of 13 games which isn't predictive at all. That really tells me nothing. Considering the year heyward has had this season which everyone says is awful is right in line with Constanza's career Minor league numbers is kinda funny.
Minor league results don't necessarily mean the guy will automatically put up the major league equivalents when given a chance.
Some guys play much worse than their minor league results some guys play better than them at the big league level. I'm not going to call Jose Constanza a scrub until he actually fails hard at the major league level. It hasn't happened yet. Fredi should let him keep playing until it happens.
And Heyward's production over a 90 game period isn't worth playing for the final 2 months of the season if you're trying to make the playoffs. If you think Heyward can outperform that than play him. Fredi and everybody in the Braves organization either thinks hes injured or he sucks for whatever reason. So he goes with Constanza instead. There's absolutely nothing wrong with that.
well yes, i think heyward can out perform costanza going forward. And if he is hurt, DL him. If you are going to not play him, send him down so he can at least give him at bats. If he is on the roster, play him.darkside31337 said:Minor league results don't necessarily mean the guy will automatically put up the major league equivalents when given a chance.

Well fortunately for you Fredi pulls all the strings.
Fredi for NL manager of the year.

Torres on DL and Belt called back up to Majors. I feel bad for belt, but in transition from Majors and AAA so many times this year.
How did I know?Sharp said:So this is pitcher regression week I guess. That must mean Lannan's next.

Livan used up all the magic pixie dust from his start last night.
Lannan had no chance.

How convenient for AJ that Garcia cut his finger in a "kitchen accident"

Holy fuck the Nats fell asleep on that play. lol.
He was put on the "get fucked" list and cannot participate in any team stuff for 30 days. Union is appealing. Zam Zam says he isn't retiring.Windu said:oh didn't know he was kicked off the team.

Union is going to win so hard. Cubs are going to pay for this move pretty hard down the road. Messing with the union is probably the dumbest thing you could possibly do.
They should have just DFA'd him.

Would any team still be willing to want to put with Zambrano's shit after this season?Windu said:

For something near the league minimum? Yeah definitely. Why wouldn't they be?
Zambrano has an $18 million contract for 2012.darkside31337 said:For something near the league minimum? Yeah definitely. Why wouldn't they be?

Nobody is going to trade for that.
At best they might be willing to find somebody willing to give up zero prospects and pick up maybe $5 million off the tab. And I think that's generous.
Right, so not league minimum.darkside31337 said:Nobody is going to trade for that.

After yesterday, there best bet in 3 mil and no prospect.darkside31337 said:Nobody is going to trade for that.

A trash for Trash deal is the only possible way he is moved too, so the cubs would have to take back a problem player themselves.

Somewhere around that. ~2-3 million is basically the league minimum when compared to that massive 25 million dollars he has left or whatever it is. Semantics man.
2/3 million is not 5 milliondarkside31337 said:Somewhere around that. ~2-3 million is basically the league minimum when compared to that massive 25 million dollars he has left or whatever it is. Semantics man.
My point is that the Cubs are going to have trouble finding anyone to take him at any reasonable price.

It's good to play hot, but the way the Brewers are playing, this division is locked up.
NL is going to have some tough teams in the playoffs this year... Another *yawn* NL victory?

If the Cubs give Z away, Toronto will take him. Jerkball, yo.
I think so. ALE teams have soft rotations.vas_a_morir said:It's good to play hot, but the way the Brewers are playing, this division is locked up.

Lawrie would go for a jersey pull-over and drop him, but then help him up and hug it out like a good Canadian boy.eznark said:I want to see a Lawrie v. Zammy fist fight.
