I believe in redemption and second chances. Each case and decision should turn on a thorough investigation which includes not only the facts surrounding the incident but also the player’s actions and conduct after. No absolute rule based solely on criminal history; case by case decision not related to baseball.
Thanks for posting.+1 Very enjoyable!!
Bregman was 7th or 8th among the third basemen. yuli is likely in the top 10 first basemen. Certainly Springer will be a top 10 CF.Bregman came in 9th which is very good considering how young he is.
If that's your research and writeup, man, I am impressed and thankful.+1
Whoa. What's this about Singleton?
Nice game for Jake Rogers: single, double and HR while throwing out two would-be basestealers. The Canyon High School alum has now thrown out 5 of 8 on the basepaths in the young season.
I haven't seen him play much but in this case it looked like a situational awareness issue. He wasn't hustling, at least didn't appear to be, probably because he didn't realise/recognise the need. Hey, lucky he didn't turn around and toss the ball to a fan for a souvenir... I know I have see that before but I just don't remember where and when.
Is this the same knucklehead that showed up in the GZ yesterday?
Phoenix Saloon downtown. They serve it in the bag as hot as you like it and season it with their homemade chili powder. I usually max out at the double shot.Pat's Place has pretty good frito pie also. They are on Union Street close to Schlitterban.
How many steals did he have in 2011?Four steals to go along with his four triples.
SS Carlos Correa, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2012 draft by Houston, was picked for the last spot on the World Team roster for the 2013 All-Star Futures game by winning a fan vote. He is hitting .323 for Class A Quad Cities.
You two are a shining example of the good that can be done by people.
Michael Wacha (T A&M) 5 2/3 IP 1 H 3 BB 8 KWacha only went 5 2/3 because or rain. They finished that game on Saturday.
Mike Capps is The Man and is desperately needed in the booth in Houston.+2
Locke, who took over the Texas League lead in hitting with a .330 average, was a big part of the Hooks' 16-hit attack, recording his league-leading 100th RBI with a double off Missions lefty Nathan Culp (5-7) during a three-run fifth, before scoring on Jhon Florentino's two-run triple.
I once saw someone spell it, "New Brown's Fields."Actually as a native that is a close translation. "Braun" is brown and "fels" is rock or cliff. So it is close to the English translation from German.
Zipp, Duman, Jacksonian, all other columnistas and the recap analysts:I totally agree with this statement. It's very helpful and thankful for all the time that each of you put in.
Keep doing what you're doing. I love it and appreciate it. And LOTS of others do too.
Well its not gonna get any better this series. The Pirates appear to be for real and this Astros team is in the dumps. We might not see this team score for the rest of April.Will you ever learn to shut up?
Is Bryan from Lagos?Probably just moved from there to Ontario.
Its in there, the column name is "SB". I am replicating the stat line from the mlb player page. I'll probably trim out some of the stat numbers in the future to reduce width though - having the embedded link makes it easy to get the rest.I was looking at your spreadsheet from this morning and it must have been cut off. Or more than likely I am just blind like my wife always tells me when I am looking for anything. ;)Nice job and a lot of work done.
I think I'll probably add the FA additions to the team as well to get the whole "off-season" picture, simply amazing what mgt did in constructing this team.
Thanks for the beat reports, Jim. You're much better than JdJO.Amen to that. Thanks for the reports Jim.
Newbie, essentially. Check out the glossary:Newbie must be a recent new use as here is it is according to the glossary.

Clark: 1) (also Clarkish, Clarkworthy, Dave, etc.) descriptive, sarcastic term coined by TZ legend Andyzipp in a now-famous take which serves to strongly emphasize any extraordinary, fantastic or above average feat. (ex. "Biggio stealing third in that situation was absolutely Clark.") Sarcastic reference is to the horrible 1998 performance of ex-Astros OF/PH Dave Clark.Looks like we need a new entry for the glossary. I know I alwas thought it was for a newbie.
Is tbone a doctor or something?Not the last time I looked.
I posted it yesterday in the thread down from this one, titled "AFL rosters out".
(bout 15 of those were at DH).I'm sure I'm just showing my ignorance and please pardon me if I am, but what position is DH?
....And he'll always have what he did -- from that stance, with great cruelty and alacrity -- to that Brad Lidge pitch (and what he did to Brad Lidge himself, it seems) in the late fall of 2005. And those things will make him immortal.
Quote:
Every day after mid-June, Morgan Ensberg woke up hoping the pain in his right shoulder had gone away. But it was always there, preventing him from raising his arm above his head and throbbing every time the Houston Astros' third baseman swung a bat or threw a ball....
"The thing I think I did a poor job of was recognizing the amount of pain and how much it was affecting my performance on the field," he said. "With hindsight, you look back and realize you were hurting the team. You also hurt yourself."
Quote:Hopefully he is back to 2005 form. That would be a big help to Berky and Carlos.
Manager Phil Garner said he asked Ensberg repeatedly how he was feeling and Ensberg always said he was OK. But Garner understands how difficult it can be for a player to admit he's too injured to play.
"We talk out of both sides of our mouths, meaning managers and baseball executives," Garner said. "We want guys to be tough, but then when we're tough, we say, 'Oh, gee whiz, we don't want you to be tough when it perhaps hurts the team or the production.'
"How is a player supposed to know?" Garner said. "I don't fault him for that, so much."
Quote:Anybody catch this sentence?
According to Buchholz himself, he did not fail a physical.
The Link
Quote:A group of players? A group is surely more than two. I certainly hope not I think that would be too much for Garland.
The Astros were tremendously close to landing Garland from the White Sox on Thursday morning for a group of players.
Quote:Why did he only go 3 innings? Is there a trade possibly being work on or is there and injury and Zeke is going to be called up?
Right-hander Chris Baker replaced starter Ezequiel Astacio who went three innings and gave up Portland's only run, a solo homer from Jack Cust that made it 3-1 in the third.

MOst of u dudes need 2 get a like LOL
Quote:He does have a year with Atlanta according to the White Sox web site. link
Yep, but Guillen a relative newcomer to managing and has no NL experience (IIRC).
