July 11, 200323 yr I think the Mets are more interested in getting Adrian Gonzalez than any of those pitchers for Benitez. Nope, the Mets have three first basmen already. Although this would be a bad deal all those pitchers for benitez and burnitz since it seems like all these pitchers are mediocre.
July 11, 200323 yr I hope we don't trade Gonzalez. Something about left handed first basemen with sold D and a sweet swing.
July 11, 200323 yr coincidence? Pudge and Juan Gone both fired their agent Jeff Moorad does this have any meaning? I think they'll pull a Karl Malone/Gary Payton type thing and go to a team together this offseason.
July 11, 200323 yr He's in the Major Leagues, he's 2-0. That tells ME something... Wins dont mean s*** for pitchers. So you're saying Barry Zito can go 7-18 and still win the Cy Young? :banghead W/L does not represent a pitcher..sorry, its basically worthless and mostly out of his hands...see Dontrelle's last 2 starts for an example. But as far as hype goes, it means a lot. Ask yourself if D-train would be getting all the pub if he didnt have such a stellar record? Bottom line is winning is what pitchers get paid to do, and yes they may not get the wins directly, but a pitcher with a lot of wins is hardly a bad pitcher. I am with Wildcard on this one too. I like Bump. He may not be some sexy, super-prospect, but neither was another pitcher for us - Dontrelle Willis. The Cubs never projected him in their starting rotation. I bet that has changed now... Besides, I think we waited too long on calling Bump up. In my opinion he should have came up a while ago - before Willis. But that may have been a huge mistake given current fortune... :blink: :mischief2
July 11, 200323 yr if we got Juan Gone, Cabs would either get sent down, or he would play 1st, if DLee was traded for prospects or relief help..... BASEBALL MAY MAKE IT 6 PLAYOFF TEAMS FROM EACH LEAGUE STARTING WITH NEXT YEAR..... HOT RUMOR This indeed is a very HOT rumor. I think this is what baseball need to reclaim its 1st spot on American sports!

Thats all Im saying. Of course the media looks at these stats because they are simple.

The Cubs never projected him in their starting rotation. I bet that has changed now... yea, but Jonny, DW dominated the minors..... Bump hasnt come close to doing that
July 11, 200323 yr You guys better hurry up. Klapish is reporting that the giants, mets, and yankees have a three-way deal in the works. Don't let the Yankees be part of this deal... http://www.northjersey.com/page.php?qstr=e...2Y3dnFlZUVFeXk2

Of course the media looks at these stats because they are simple. Shamrock, if you would just read what I had previously written than you would have seen I agree. Wins should have little if not any effect on how you evaluate how good a pitcher is. But you can't say wins and losses just don't matter, because they do...
July 11, 200323 yr Bump and Willis shouldnt even be mentioned in the same post jonny. He doesnt have great stuff or even good stuff. Its average at best and his numbers in the minors will soon catch up with him here....but I hope I'm wrong....Jack seems to see something there. I wouldn't pencil him as a long term fixture regardless.
July 11, 200323 yr Jack seems to see something there. I do too. I may not be of the stature that Jack is, but still... I will be... :shifty
July 11, 200323 yr When Bump gets in, he throws strikes. You have to beat him by hitting, he won't load the bases by walking players. I really like him, and he may have good potential
July 11, 200323 yr if we got Juan Gone, Cabs would either get sent down, or he would play 1st, if DLee was traded for prospects or relief help.....

I think this is what baseball need to reclaim its 1st spot on American sports! With more teams in possible contention for a spot, interest and attendance would have to increase. Again, 6 teams per league in the playoffs is beyond terrible. On the other topic, I think Nate Bump isn't going to be a great HOF pitcher. But hes going to be sucessful for quite a while.
July 11, 200323 yr Author from another prospect site, here is how Nate Bump is projected to be he is rated(in the T1 formula) a 2/3 the first number is his ceiling rating and they say a 2 is:A role position player or spot relief pitcher; a utility-type player who may start at some point in his career the second number is the mlb arrival rating(when he will come to the big leagues): A possible Major League call-up this year and could become a permanent Big League player in the next two years no one thinks he is that godly Josh.... just you
