Sorry about my bad grammar you guys. I really need to think before i post.

I’ll stop postng until my grammar and writing for that matter improves dramatically.

No problem.

The rules of this site help keep it an intelligent and informed baseball community. It is quite a contrast from other places on the internet, and it’s what makes this place so special.

I don't think so. He would have to up his SLG by almost 100 points

to get to 400. It’s too late in the season for him to do that.

He could argue with Wak more also; Larry Stone reported that since the dugout incident with manager Don Wakamatsu

Chone Figgins has hit .407 (24-for-59.) I am sure his OPS must also be up there in the 900-1000 range.

I like when people use arbitrary dates where someone got yelled at as evidence that yelling at people works

He has gotten better, yeah: We expected him to get better because he has a history of being pretty good but has been awful this year. The same thing happened after Wak called Felix out last year in the media and to a lesser extent this year with him as well when he had that awful May, and now it’s happening with Figgins. Good players playing poorly tend to get yelled at because they’re expected to produce and they aren’t, then they tend to get better because of regression, then everyone looks at it like all they needed was a kick in the ass to make them start performing again. I don’t buy it.

What do you think about the Brandon League / Brandon Morrow trade now?

Brandon Morrow just pitched the best game this year in the majors with a 100 game score, better than Roy Halladay’s perfect game with a game score of 98.

What do you mean "now?"

Graham’s post on the deal (when he was a contributing writer here) said “Morrow for League + Johermyn Chavez…sucks.”

There was a lot of pent up frustration with Morrow’s inconsistency and back-and-forth ‘twixt pen and rotation (which is, granted, mostly the Bavasi organization, but early 2009 was all on Brandon), but in general the the blogs were puzzled by the move—some contributors loved it, some hated it, most just didn’t understand it in a standalone context.

But, hey, we got League and we live with the deal. Guess what? League has the stuff to be pretty filthy out of the pen. Whether he puts it all together again (see: 2009) is up in the air, but then again so was Morrow reaching his potential. I’m one of the few ardent fans of Brandon Morrow, still follow him with the Jays, but for fuck’s sake it’s in the past. Don’t misrepresent the blog or the community writ large. I like League. I hope to be happy with him. I also like Morrow.

If you want to evaluate the trade in context, okay. But don’t judge it in hindsight. It’s fucking annoying, and even I’m getting sick of it.

I think Scruffy had it right all along
I fucking hate Brandon Morrow.
So whatever.

Huh, funny how everyone viewed Chavez as "nothing"

I mean, he has ridiculous home splits, strikes out too much and doesn’t have much defensive value, but he could crack our top 10 prospects going into next year (barely).

Makes me wonder if the guys we gave up for Branyan are really “nothing.” Hmm…
