  1. lets not rush to any assumptions with what happened. no details have been provided other than he was arrested.
  2. Welcome to the Marlins, A-Rod.
  3. I REALLY hope Braun doesn't go anywhere and is a lifer with the Brewers. I dont care about the potential return, it would just be great to finally have a player that stays with the franchise through thick and thin.
  4. This. I think we need to see what he can give us
  5. You have to give him credit for any pitchers success or failings this year as he has been the coach all season.
  6. yeah, this isn't the NFL, that money is his. Texas got insurance on his contract, so Prince will collect on a good portion of the remaining money.
  7. Get the best talent you can, if it happens they play 1B that's great, but you want the best you can get, and looking specifically to fill positions will cause you to potentially miss out on better players. So far, Stearns has applied that method, I don't see that changing. If Guzman is the best talent he can get, great! If not, I hope he doesn't pass on that talent for guzman.
  8. Rooting for ya JJ!!
  9. so much of this!!!
  10. The fact they dumped his salary AND 2 of their top 10 prospects for Hutchinson is unreal.
  11. They wanted rid of his money, not him as a pitcher.
  12. 150 AB in 44 games at AAA and Wren is hitting .383/.490/.965 as leadoff.
  13. Keon Broxton is back! Wren will never get a shot, will he?
  14. Also, anyone who is using his longevity and ability to get more PA's a year as a detractor... isn't that part of being a great athlete? The ability to avoid injuries? What if Carew and Gywnn got those extra 2,000 PA's over those years? Can we say that their numbers would have remained as they did, instead of going down? (thats dumb for me to say about Gywnn because he was insane, and he'd probably still have hit .330 had he not missed most of the last 2 years of his career; just playing devils advocate and all). Like, if Ichiro was mashing the ball, and then missed 5 months of the season, his stats would be "skewed" in a sense because of that.
  15. I sometimes have a really hard time wrapping my mind around how many just outright great players there have been in the 100+ year history of this sport, globally. I think your last paragraph is my exact thought on Ichiro, so I amend my previous comments of him being one of the greatest pure hitters in Baseball history!
  16. Davies has really turned in a great season outside of April
  17. if were looking at his full picture ichiro had 4300 hits, 560 doubles, 115 triples, 231 homers, 1280 rbis and 709 SBs. those totals are nuts. the only number thats higher in japan year after year than the US is the homeruns, but he also played in seattle.. every other category was pretty much in line with the numbers he had state-side. he's only not a top player of all time because he spent the first decade of his career in Japan, instead of the MLB. difference from pretty much any other international player is that his talent crossed leagues, and never waned.
  18. Franco only has 3870... over 32!!!! years. thats insane, 32 years! but you're right, the rest are all over 4000... and four of them are considered to be hands down the best, right? not sure why Ichiro wouldn't fit in with them as a top all time baseball player.
  19. the fact that he's had more than 4,000!!!!! hits in his career makes him one of the greatest players of all time. show me anyone who is even close to that including US minor league seasons (since thats always the argument that his 4000+ hits are "not the same"). Derek Jeter I think might be the only one? the people who are over 3000 hits almost never played in the minors prior to the majors. there is no one we can compare him to other than Rose and Cobb in terms of hitting. he's about to hit 3000 in 16 years. he did it quicker, and older, than Jeter, too.
  20. forget Broxton or anyone else, give Wren a shot.
  21. Ichiro has been my favorite non-brewer player ever since he came to the States.
  22. I'm into this post
