    I will never forget that one. I got 45 minutes of sleep and had to work at 5 AM.

    LaHair has played corner OF in the past, too. I wasn't just saying to throw him there.
  3. brettac1
    Tulo. Maybe Mike Trout, just because I have a man crush on him (and he's also completely awesome).
  4. brettac1
    LaHair is 29 years old, just FYI. I like him, though. I would think they will put him in a corner OF spot when Rizzo comes up.
  5. brettac1
    Yes. This.
  6. brettac1
    Yes, the breadth of skillset is the issue. The real "old player skills" also includes low batting average. Dunn used to be able to run a little, but now he's very slow, and all it takes is a little drop in bat speed for players like this to fall fast, since they will see more fastballs since they aren't able to hit them as consistently, or as well. His contact rate is already slipping, too. Guys that rely on one or two things to get by become useless fast. Like Rob Deer or Richie Sexson did, for a couple examples. Dunn is a better hitter than those guys, but they are just examples.

    I don't think he's going to get 600 HR. He might not even get to 500. He has the standard "old player skills", and that doesn't age well (it already hasn't for him when you look at how his ability to hit LHP has gone off a cliff). One of my all-time favorite players, though, and probably my favorite active player and that includes Brewers.

    I was in a car wreck in October and broke my left leg and both of my ankles. And my nose. And had a degloving injury to my left arm. I'm probably back to about 98% now and won't have any long-term effects aside from the rod/plate/screws in my left leg. I should have easily died, though, so it's a pretty small price to pay. I was off work for three months, but was very fortunate with how generous my employer was when I was laid up. Prior to that, I had health in my skill set.

    I'd rather not sign a RHP in his 30's with poor velocity to a longer deal. He's basically going to be Suppan eventually.
  10. brettac1
    It sucks when the team's best player aggravates his Achilles injury while padding his stats with a meaningless stolen base. What's the point?
  11. brettac1
    DFA'd by the Orioles today.
  12. brettac1
    I'd much rather have Youkilis and a K-Rod sized hole than have K-Rod and the amalgamation they are currently using at 1B.
  13. brettac1
    For me, I always have a soft spot for him because as a kid I watched a ton of White Sox games on WGN and whatever the Chicago sports station was on the old C-Band satellite dishes was (I think it might have just been Chicago Sports Network), so I heard lots and lots of Hawk and Wimpy. Even though I don't generally see the game the same way he does (or even close) I enjoy him for nostalgic purposes. The "he gone!" and "put it on the board... YES!" stuff is a fun gimmick.
  14. brettac1
    I'd be thrilled.
  15. brettac1
    When I watch the Sox games on MLB.tv, I always watch their feed just to hear the awesomeness of Hawk.
  16. brettac1
    I hate the designated bunter role that RR apparently wants his #2 hitter to fill.
  17. brettac1
    Right, but when their team OBP is roughly the same as Rickie Weeks is carrying for 2012- and their team OBP is lower than all N.L. teams (with the pitcher hitting) except for Pittsburgh, there is a major problem. The fact that he just gave Crisp (.422 OPS) a two year/$14 million deal should be grounds for dismissal alone. At least Manny is coming soon.
  18. brettac1
    Olerud is the definition of underrated.
  19. brettac1
    Epic.
  20. brettac1
    Is Damian Miller still living in-state?
  21. brettac1
    Wow. That's almost salad tongs-level embarrassing.
  22. brettac1
    The Matt Moore vs Chris Sale match-up has been terrific so far today.
  23. brettac1
    Kinsler moving to 3B would be my guess as to what they will do.
  24. brettac1
    Profar would be awesome. He's going to be a really good player at a premium position.
  25. brettac1
    Yeah, I find it very hard to get upset at Roenicke as much when the team is just bad.
