Diamondbacks Bullpen

Unless my memory is failing me, the highest I remember anyone projecting Overbay's ceiling was around the Grace/Olerud level. I think he has done a pretty good job living up to expectations.

How does defense explain Davis' increase in walks and decrease in k's?

Maybe like Webb of 2004 where he was pitching away from contact. That season Webb had 119 BBs in 208 IP, 177 BBs in 644.2 IP ...

I saw something somewhere where it said the arbiter sides with the player 80% of the time. Again, this is just a random number.
As of January 2005, clubs had won 59% of their arbitration cases.

Per [url=http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news?slug=ap-twins-choate&prov=ap&type=lgns] Yahoo Sports Choate has signed a minor league deal with the Twins.

Florida answers right back with a good return, face mask on OSU, and a quick efficient drive to tie it up.

Yeah, OSU's defense was quite dissappointing on that drive.

Edit: After watching a ...

Jump on Florida by returning the opening kickoff for a TD! Go BUCKS!

Just saw on ESPNews bottom-line that Dirk Koetter is going to the Jags to be the OC. I have not seen it reported anywhere else yet.

Is Krynzel out of options?

Yes, he'd have to clear waivers in order to be sent to Tucson.

IMO, Mulder & Hudson had a higher trade value at the point of their trade than Haren has now,

I disagree with this. The key to trades now-a-days is contract.

I agree, which is why I continu ...

The Colts are my team.

Manning threw 3 INT, true, but he was also 30/38 268 yards, 1 TD. And he won.

The big story is IND defense holding KC's running game to a mere 47 yards. That is huge. Bef ...

Manning is struggling in the playoffs again, he has 3 INTs and they're barely 5 minutes into the 3rd quarter.

Byrnes would obviously be our choice candidate to move, but it would seem just as likely that they trade Hudson and insert Callaspo at 2B.

uh, it doesn't.

I personally dont think either is very ...

you're also assuming hes going to hit 30 HRs next year, which is possible, but not necessarily likely.

With the proper number of at bats, I don't think this is too far fetched <especially in Ch ...

Byrnes would obviously be our choice candidate to move, but it would seem just as likely that they trade Hudson and insert Callaspo at 2B.

Beane traded:

Mulder for: Daric Barton, Dan Haren & Ciko Calero
Hudson for: Charles Thomas, Dan Meyer & Juan Cruz

IMO, Mulder & Hudson had a higher trade value at the point of thei ...

EJ, this of off topic, but what the hell are the 5 Cs? copper, cattle, citrus, cotton, and... cactus? that fifth one always gets me. corn?

EDIT: canyon?

Climate is the 5th C, I think they sho ...

He could have stocked it last season if he would have traded Soriano.

That was more Bowden's call than Rizzo's.

A guy over at the SoSH thread charted RJ's BABIP with all possible variations of runners on base: [url=http://sonsofsamhorn.net/index.php?showtopic=13676&st=120&p=576215&#entry576215]here ...

According to USA today and Blogspot the agreement is Luis Viz, Micah and Ross.

Hopefully since Blogspot could not spell Ross Ohlendorf correctly maybe they got this wrong too.

Coop, aka David, checking in. I have spent the last few years on the ESPN boards, I found this board through a post made by shoe linking to the site.

FWIW, the latest rumor from mvn.com:

A poster is saying KNBR (SF) reported that the deal is for Medders, Ohlendorf and a PTBNL. They also reported that negotiations between the Dbacks & RJ are ...

How old are Owings and Nippert?

Nippert will be 26 in May and Owings turned 24 this past September.

Graves & Bidwell had a news conference not long ago - Graves signed a 3 year extension as GM and they mentioned a short list of candidates that are coming in to interview: Mike Sherman, Norm Chow, ...

Any word on likely candidates to replace him?

I am sure we will hear Pete Carroll's name quite a bit.
Carroll keeps swearing he's not going anywhere. (So is Saban Wink
