coupla Hurley tidbits:

Not a bad outing for a guy who hates day games. Much prefers to pitch at night.

Also, in his last appearance against the Astros he gave up six hits. All six hits came off his slider. His slider was abnormally flat that night. It’s because a finger on his pitching hand was sore and bleeding … from accidently slamming his hand in his hotel room door.

But he maintains that Marlon Byrd is useful, even though we have Murphy and Brandon Boggs to be 4th OF’s.

by LSJ on Jun 29, 2008 7:38 PM CDT up reply actions  

Well

Until Bradley starts playing RF every day, we have Josh Hamilton and some 4th outfielders.

by Adam J. Morris on Jun 29, 2008 7:39 PM CDT up reply actions  

I think all 3 of those guys are very useful players to say the least

The problem is that we don’t need Byrd and he probably has the most value to another team. Based off some of the rumors for Coco Crisp this past offseason, I think the Rangers can get some good value for a guy who doesn’t have the same defense, but has a lot better offense.

I don't really use Theo Epsteins' crazy demands...

...that nobody was willing to meet as an indication of Byrd’s trade value. The Cubs weren’t even willing to give us a pitcher for him this spring.

by LSJ on Jun 29, 2008 7:43 PM CDT up reply actions  

yeah

but don’t you think they might be changing their minds right about now. Byrd has been great since coming off the DL, had a solid year last year, always had the potential, great work ethic, very affordable still, and can play all OF positions and do a great job in any of them. That’s a pretty valuable piece for a team trying to break a 100 year drought.

-The Outlaw

by Gdawg on Jun 29, 2008 7:44 PM CDT up reply actions  

I don't think they need him

Jim Edmonds has been providing them with good production since they picked him up, and they’ve still got Pie to be the 4th OF.

by LSJ on Jun 29, 2008 7:50 PM CDT up reply actions  

Edmonds is a 100 year old injury prone player near the end of his career

I don’t see him keeping up this hot streak for long. Pie has been terrible this year for the Cubs and so has Murton. They still have a very big need for Byrd, especially more so than when they first showed interest in him

Why?

Murphy, coming into today: .275 .309 .460
Byrd, coming into today: .252 .342 .393

Their respective OPS+s are within 5 points of each other.

Byrd is probably a little better defensively.

They are both 4th outfielders.

by Adam J. Morris on Jun 29, 2008 7:38 PM CDT up reply actions  

I'm not disagreeing

I’m just wondering why you insist we should hang onto Byrd if you think that.

by LSJ on Jun 29, 2008 7:41 PM CDT up reply actions  

I don't insist we should hang onto Byrd

I’m saying it doesn’t make sense to just release him or give him away.

At this point, I don’t see who you’d necessarily replace him with, other than Nelson Cruz, and if you are going to call up Cruz to play 2-3 times per week, then I’d rather see Boggs go back down than just release Byrd.

My keeper fantasy league

I was invited to participate by John Barten, and it has a bunch of Royals fans.

I have added to my team, since joining about a week before the season started:

Josh Hamilton
Jay Bruce
Evan Longoria
Jarrod Saltalamacchia
Max Ramirez
Jacoby Ellsbury
C.J. Wilson
Robinson Cano

I already had King Felix. I traded Adrian Beltre for Ryan Zimmerman, once Zimmerman went on the d.l. I have Clay Buchholz and Rich Harden.

I am set up to dominate for years to come.
