    Anyone know how far west the snow goes?... Gotta drive in to work at Hwy 100 and Wisconsin, and just want to make sure I'm not driving into a pile of hell.
  2. Brian the Automator
    I need to go there. STAT.

    Got a message in the inbox today with a site worth checking out for some S/T info:

    In that case, a college catcher with a big lefthanded bat.

    Congrats from the "Automator" household to Mat as well. I'm sure his first kid will be a great joy and a great challenge.

    Seems like one of those ideas that is good on the surface, but in practice has bad unintended consequences. The players that generally wear their clothes in an unorthodox fashion are generally the players that are good. I don't think it's at all attractive to free agents of quality.... (not that this really poses a problem to Pittsburgh)

    Not that results or stats really matter today, but I find it interesting that the Brewers have had good success against Lincecum so far. Small sample size, for sure.. but interesting nonetheless.

    Oooh, question for you. Do you have the USCC htc 6800? I've seen instructions to unlock the Alltel branded model, and I didn't want to brick mine by trying it out. I have an external bluetooth GPS receiver, but I hate carrying it around...
  14. Brian the Automator
    Same here... I love the slide-out keyboard (as compared to the HTC touch that doesn't have one)... and I'm a little biased, since it runs on Windows Mobile and I can develop for that platform pretty easily.

    I'm hoping for Cam Bonifay as GM with Matt Millen as assistant GM. EDIT: Oh duh, I forgot... I still have Ed Wade, and in the division no less.

    Negative 3 degree wind chills and dogs that refuse to crap faster to correlate with them.

    Thanks for sharing, man. I really liked the over-the-shoulder shot of Jorge Julio.

    It's not so much that Juan Cruz is a dud of a player and has no value, it's just that if they were going to be able to sign a player of that free agent ranking, you would think they would sign a player that has a bigger impact. Their depth chart is really pedestrian, and Cruz has averaged just 67 innings pitched per year since his first full season in 2002. If they're really hell-bent on sacrificing the long-term for the short-term to some extent, they could have done a much better job. This along with the recent release of Esteban German after they signed him to a 1.2M deal this offseason just re-inforces my thought that there's no real cohesive plan in KC.

    I'd say "good riddance", but now I have to find a new GM to constantly ridicule... and Wayne Krivsky isn't available.
  20. Brian the Automator
    The fact that teams try and fail on drafting players in the 2nd round doesn't mean that they should throw the towel in. Cruz is a fine bullpen arm, but if the Royals are serious about contention, they have a bigger need than someone who's going to give them 60-70 innings. This mediocre attempt at trying to stay competitive while rebuilding is what absolutely kills small market teams. Fans may think that their team owes it to them to stay competitive, but having a fire sale and going all out to rebuild is what will ultimately give your team the better mathematical shot at staying competitive for the long-term, and will probably give them a better shot at going all the way. KC has been projected by the usual sources as finishing in 4th place behind the ChiSox, Twins, and Tigers. I find myself agreeing with them. If Juan Cruz is just a means to try to battle for 3rd place, I'd take the 2nd round pick (and the cash saved to try to draft higher-risk players) any day of the week.
  21. Brian the Automator
    While Juan Cruz will certainly help them in the short-term, giving up a 2nd rounder when you're a team that needs all the help they can get seems to be short-sighted. This seems to be the plan that the Pirates go with every year, and the plan that the Brewers used to go with. It just seems to me like the Royals will never be able to compete until they completely tear the team down and start with a clean slate.

    I've never been a big "draft for need" guy. While, realistically, the Brewers could use a true catcher with an awesome left-handed bat, the fact of the matter is that no matter what you end up, you can always make a trade to fill a need. So, I think the Brewers should simply draft the combination of the best bat and athletic talent, no matter what position we're talking about... with the emphasis on the "bat" part, as that's the part that always "sells" when you're making a deal.

    It's fair to say that the moderation team had a problem with this poster before this came up for other reasons. If this were a one-time thing for another poster, it probably would have been a different situation.

    It's not just that he made a prediction that didn't come true... When you go out and say that "if the brewers do or don't do X, i'll do Y", we're going to hold people accountable for that, otherwise it gets annoying. With that said, in the moderator's absence who took him at his word, I've gone ahead and restored posting privileges.
