New Rumor: Cubs going after Lugo

[Ravenlord]

I like base stealing just fine, as long as he isn't costing the team runs when he does it.

then you'll hate Juan Pierre.

and the guy who said it's closer to 84% has to be wrong... there's only like 2 guys in their career who had better percentage than that.

ever wonder why the A's pretty much forbid stolen bases? they do it for that macro reason. while that doesn't quite mesh with my kind of game theory, the logic is sound.

[Slightly Sarcastic]

then you'll hate Juan Pierre.

I've already gone on record here with my dislike of that deal. It went pretty much like this:

"Pierre is an upgrade from what we had at leadoff last year, but that's more due to just how horrible the leadoff spot was for us last year."


Might not be an exact quote of what I said, but I don't feel like digging through that long thread to find the exact wording.
