No, camel spiders aren’t big. They’re like five inches at the largest, I believe. The ones I’ve seen have usually only been about two.
You don't consider five inches to be big?

Heh.
I would consider that big, but that picture has them looking like two feet.
Anyway, I was wrong. They only get about two inches.
I just read that they can get up to 8 inches

Check this.
Before today, Baltimore’s 2nd-order record was just 1.3 wins better than Houston and just 2.8 wins better than Pittsburgh’s.
But their third order record (adjusted for strength of opponents) is four wins better than their second order. Which is a lot.
They’re bad, but their schedule is killing them about as much as can happen.

Rumors of his terribleness have been greatly exaggerated
He’s mediocre, the real problem is an owner who thinks championships have to be bought on the free agent market, then only ponies up half the money necessary to do it while actively sabotaging the farm system.
Stupid old man, even the shitty owners like Angelos and Loria and the Pirates owner dont do that.
Astro fans should revolt.
To be fair
McLane has backed off on his hatred of all prospects the past few years, he’s spending an average amount on the draft and investing in international prospects now.
It would go a lot quicker if he would stop valuing his stars more than his farm system though.
I'm still somewhat sickened by
not offering arb after 06 to Pettitte when he was clearly going back to New York, then that terrible 07 draft.
The Tejada trade didn’t look too awesome at the time either, not did the Jennings deal.
And of course he missed selling high-ish on a couple of guys.
Remember to retire Fin's number, Mark.
Yeah, I should say
It would go a lot faster if he would stop valuing any veteran more than his farm system, no matter how much the veteran sucks.
Hate to do this but...
Thanks for passing on Smoak.

Mildly justifiable.
Only mildly.
At the time, Berkman was OPS’ing a million, he looked ready to play pretty well till end of 2011.
At the time, the Stros had JR Towles and Humberto Quintero. Wait, they still have them.
Wade really needs to do well with trading Roy at the minimum, and hope someone offers him good value for Pence, Bourn and Berkman. Wandy is probably nothing right now. Perhaps Myers?

I think the logic behind it
came back to the “win-now” mode which McLane kept employing.
Berkman at the time looked like he’d be around til 2011 producing a 900 OPS.
Castro was supposed to be a C who got to the bigs quickly, and also be solid enough to stay there for the next decade.
Remember to retire Fin's number, Mark.
Also, he's younger than Smoak
So it kind of covers all the bases that way. I still would’ve preferred Smoak but I’m not gonna riot over Castro.
Myers and Oswalt for sure
Berkman has negative value with his contract and the way he’s hitting so far, Pence and Bourn have a lot of team control left so it’s not real urgent to trade them.
Hopefully he regains a little bit of that power stroke
Really good OBP at AAA, and is probably the second-best OBP guy if they put him in the lineup right now, but man, that SLG needs to go up.
Remember to retire Fin's number, Mark.
You know...
I typed Drayton McLane and than replaced it with Ed Wade. I hear Jim Crane is looking to buy a team maybe McLane and Crane can work out a deal for real this time around (I know, I know Crane isn’t owing a MLB team. Ever.).

6 reasons the 3rd inning made me grin
other than the obvious scoring 6 runs:
1. The pitcher ripping a double
2. Elvis walking, he’s slowed down on this lately
3. Hamilton coolly going with the pitch the opposite way and scoring two
4. Smoak ripping a double off a lefty to score two more
5. thinking about getting into the Houston bullpen so early in the first game of the series
6. Treanor continuing to outplay his career

Rangers, at 34-19, second best in baseball since April 22
Boston at 35-19 since then. That road trip was definitely the low point.

A third of a season worth of games.
Legit.
'Waiting for a girl and she gets me into fights

Anyway that was a really good game.
Feldman is looking a lot better with some strikeouts and groundball outs. Smoak is turning into a real badass. Borbon has officially snapped out of it now that he’s started to take a walk now and then. Things are looking pretty good. Pretty, pretty, pretty good.
No, we discussed it early in the game.
Smoak has “proved” that he’s in over his head and doesn’t belong in the Majors.
Also, the Rangers single biggest weakness is the curveball. Even though pfx classifications would suggest they are merely mediocre and, just on pitch types, have many bigger weaknesses.
I can only imagine who would think Smoak is in over his head.
There are signs that would lead more rational people to believe that kid’s going to be better than Teixeira was.

He won't be Teixeira
but he could be Morneau, both because of the slightly lower career OPS+ than Teixeira (127 vs. 134) and the lefty -righty splits issue.

Can't shake the feeling that Lee
is the very sort that you stockpile minor league talent for in the first place- would be every bit as excited about Lee coming here as Halladay in the 09 scenario. Even moreso with the lineup and legit chance we have to rumble into playoffs this year.
You don't stockpile talent for rent-a-players.
That’s not to say you don’t go after rent-a-players if the terms are right, but that’s not why you stockpile them.
Flags fly eternal
I’m not agreeable to renting just any player. My argument is that Lee- and not Oswalt- is the type that is worth cashing your chips in and letting it ride on. Do you think Milwaukee is pining for Laporta about now? They had a legit chance after that trade- it made them division champs and gave them a legit title chance.
You don't stockpile players for any rent-a-players.
It’s a way to use them, but it’s not the reason you stockpile them. No amount of overused sayings will change that.
And that trade is an excellent reason for why I wouldn’t trade Perez for him: it didn’t work out for the Brewers, and if LaPorta reaches his ceiling, it would kill them. And I would take Perez over what I thought LaPorta was, anyway.
Further, the Brewers’ window was 2008. They had little future, they had to win right then. The Rangers don’t. I also don’t think they need a Cliff Lee to contend. I’m not saying I’d mind a trade for him, but it is absolutely not the same situation as Milwaukee and you are greatly undervaluing prospects if you think you just hand over whatever’s asked for, like, 3-4 marginal wins at best.
Also, the Brewers didn’t win the division.
Seattle
They are going to get two draft picks for him if they don’t deal him, so they’d be bolstering their long-term talent pool anyway.
If you could get him for Perez or Scheppers, plus Beavan or Main, plus someone like Boscan or Gomez or Pimentel or one of those guys, I probably pull the trigger.

I would if I thought the Rangers window of opportunity was shrinking, but I would still vote against that if the Rangers asked me.
It wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world, though. I don’t think it’s definitively a bad process.
That first sentence came out wrong.
I would say yes if I thought the window of opportunity was closing, but I don’t think it is. I wouldn’t hate it, but I would say no.
I agree, to a point
the only reason I hesitate is that anything can happen in baseball. Your window of contention could go awry in so many ways. Look at Colorado. A couple of years ago everyone assumed they’d were just on the upswing. They still are, sort of, but even with Ubaldo and Tulo and so much talent they are struggling to compete and the last couple years have been a roller coaster. Detroit in 2006, same thing. Everyone though, oh, they have so much pitching, they’re going to the playoffs a few times.
I am offering Seattle every kind of deal imaginable that doesn’t include the top 4. I probably balk at including any but Scheppers, whose injury risk probably cancels out the closer to the majors advantage he has over Perez. But I can completely see why it’s so tempting to go for it.
My head says no to that type of deal, but every other part of me is leaning anyway.
Freude schöner Götterfunken, Tochter aus Elysium, Freude!
If I heard the Rangers traded for Lee
and gave up Perez, I’d have so many mixed emotions I just wouldn’t know what to do with myself. I am hoping to hear something more like they traded Beavan and Davis for Oswalt, or Hunter and Moreland for Lee even though I’m not sure either of those are realistic.

yeah, full renovation.
they’re cutting it down a little, if memory serves correct.
A yearlong, $10 million renovation will yield a more comfortable and faster version of the nationally acclaimed ride at Six Flags Over Texas. Park officials announced Monday that the wooden behemoth will be closed for the 2010 season and will reopen in 2011 for the park’s 50th anniversary.

yeah..I don't like rollercoasters heh =/
Though last time I was at Six Flags back in 2006 I was forced to ride this one ride and it was kinda cool.. and I had looked at the rides online prior to leaving and saw Judge Roy Scream didn’t have many turns or anything so decided if I rode one it’d be that one. And I rode it and it was awesomee..rode it like 3 more times back to back heh.
But still..couldn’t get up to trying out other crazy ones like Freeze and Titan. I actually had decided beforehand that I’d do Superman one but once I saw it up close I decided against it. heh.
Also I rode that swinging boat..that just goes back and forth
and that was so scary. I felt like I was going to fall out..i’ll never ride that again and would likely rather other crazy roller coasters than ride that again.

Well...
I’m not laughing at you or saying you’re way off base for thinking that either.
I just think Ruth’s numbers are absolutely amazing. And if you’re going to count Bonds’ better defense and base running, which you obviously should, then you need to count Ruth’s pitching too.
"The only good is knowledge and the only evil is ignorance."-Socrates
I really don't bother comparing eras that far apart
there is just no comparison. If Babe Ruth was born in, say, 1970, someone spots that talent, puts him on a weight training regimen and diet and he’s a freakin’ monster. If Bonds is born in 1890, he plays in the Negro leagues, never gets steroids, etc. etc. etc.
Bonds was great, Ruth was great, impossible to truly compare them.

Yes way.
I do have Ruth, but there is absolutely 100% an argument there. And a strong one.
Hell, I think the WAR difference between them in Rally’s database is less than a win; Bonds passes that if he’s not blackballed in ’08.
And that considers their performance relative to their era, but not the league quality, which mostly trends upwards.
FG has them at 172.0 and 171.8, respectively
Look at the comments under Jeff Wilson's blog post on dallasnews.com. What a bunch of rocket scientists.- Keith Law

Boy howdy.
I think of WAR as the beginning of the argument, and you work deeper from there. It fleshes out a very quick grouping to start with and a good idea of a players’ career.
But if that doesn’t tell you it’s close, I don’t know what to say.
It just makes me wish I had the proper reverance for Bonds' performance at the time
But, I was a rube at the time.
They really should have given him a job last year.

Can't remember the exact numbers,
but in ’04 Kurkijan had something to the effect of- Bonds OPS advantage over #2 Helton was equal to the distance b/w Helton and whoever was #111
'Waiting for a girl and she gets me into fights

Don't quite know about that
But you can remove his OBP from his ‘04 OPS entirely, and he’d still have been 37th in the league in OPS.

here's the bottom line
no team is giving up 5star prospects for a couple months of any player.
ain’t gonna happen. no.
USA
I'd much prefer Haren, he's under control and we could probably
give up not the best to get him.

Yup.
My hair raises for Haren.

The D'Backs are in rebuilding mode.
So they would want mostly quantity, not top talent, but we might have to part with a few. Not as much top tier guys as we would for Lee.

I liked the above-suggested Beavan + Davis + 1 (or possibly two) second tier RP prospects
not named Scheppers

Yeah, you've gotta include at least one higher-tier guy in front of those names to make it work.

well that’s what I get for venturing into trade scenario talk.

I think we should concentrate on acquiring Oswalt.
The price should be lower because he said he’s done after 2011 + do the ’Stros really wanna pay Oswalt $ 20+ million over the next 1.5 years when their team is going to suck with or without him?
He may also reconsider retirement if he comes to a team that has a real shot at winning.
Davis and something other than The Big 4 should get it done.

Only thing is, Oswalt probably offers the least impact of all the "ace" starters on the market
Especially considering his salary and potential pricetag.

That's just wrong, imo.
Because they’re in rebuilding mode they’d want quantity and not top talent?
Huh?
That makes no sense.
It makes, like, anti-sense.
The 40 trumps all!
