Uma Thurman, Olivia Wilde and Liv Tyler steal the show from star Leo DiCaprio at Django Unchained premiere
They have shot three successful films together and he has referred to her as 'his muse.'
So it was no surprise that Uma Thurman was on hand to lend her friend and mentor Quentin Tarantino her support for his new film Django Unchained on Tuesday night.
She joined other glamorous female stars Liv Tyler and Olivia Wilde on the red carpet in New York on Tuesday, all eager to see the director's latest effort.

Flashing the flesh: Olivia Wilde showed some cleavage in a plunging black top, which she teamed with black trousers and blue heels
Great friends: Quentin wrapped his arm around Uma's waist and offered a peace sign to photographers before escorting the actress into the theatre
glamorous Hollywood stars managed to steal the show from actor Leonardo
DiCaprio who plays the lead role of plantation owner Calvin Candie.
wrapped up against the city cold in a black coat, white scarf and
heels, as her old friend Quentin escorted her into the theatre.
Olivia Wilde meanwhile, also plumped for a black outfit, but flashed a little more flesh in her revealing black waistcoat which she teamed with a pair of black trousers and blue heels.
Liv Tyler was another glamorous addition to the red carpet, although, like Thurman and Wilde, does not star in the film, which is both written and directed by Tarantino.
Suited and booted: Leonardo arrived dressed in a grey suit and blue tie, while Jamie Foxx arrived in a black suit and waistcoat
Reunion: Quentin was also reunited with his Pulp Fiction star Samuel L Jackson who arrived at the premiere in a warm woolly hat
Leonardo, who arrived in a grey suit, found himself in high demand as he chatted to several reporters on the red carpet.
film sees him play ruthless plantation owner Calvin Candie in the Deep
South two years before the beginning of the American Civil War.
Star of the show: Leonardo DiCaprio chatted to several reporters at the film's premiere
No need for modesty: Johnson, Jackson, DiCaprio, Waltz and Foxx gave themselves a round of applause
Django (Foxx) is a slave who has been separated from his wife Broomhilda (Kerry Washington) and is freed by a bounty hunter named Dr. King Schultz (Christoph Waltz).
Schultz asks Django for his help in hunting down the Brittle Brothers, a ruthless gang of killer, in return for his aid in freeing DJango and rescuing Broomhilda from plantation owner Calvin Candie (DiCaprio).
Leonardo recently described his character as: 'One of, if not the most, despicable, indulgent, radical characters I've ever read in my life.'
Show of support: Quentin Tarantino posed with his 'muse' Uma Thurman at the New York Django Unchained premiere in New York on Tuesday
Group together: The cast including Samuel L Jackson; John Legend; Christoph Waltz, Don Johnson, Leonardo DiCaprio and Jamie Foxx assembled for a group photograph
Stylish: Zoe Kravitz looked stylish in an electric blue column dress, and actress Nichole Galicia, who stars in the film, arrived in a diamond white floor-length gown
Larking around: Foxx looked in good spirits as he played up to the cameras on the red carpet
He added to Details magazine: 'Writer-directors
tend to be very
precious about their material and their words, but Quentin's whole
process is getting input from the actors and adding levels to
their characters.
'A lot of the talks we had specifically about phrenology really took him to a completely different level.'
Meanwhile, Tarantino has been effusive in his praise for Leonardo's performance in the role.
Strike a pose: Foxx, Jackson, Christolph Waltz and Don Johnson were among the star-studded cast at the premiere
Stars of the show: Leonardo and Foxx take on the lead roles in Tarantino's latest film
Rock star additions: John Legend and the Rolling Stones Ronnie Wood were also at the screening, posing with Johnson
Ravishing in red: Melanie Griffith and Don Johnson's daughter Dakota Johnson looked ravishing in a red dress
Happy Diaz: Cameron was all smiles as she attended one of the exclusive post premiere parties in New York
'He really embodied that entitled young male character perfectly,' he told The Daily Beast. 'His grandfather owned and made the plantation successful and his father kept it going in the movie.
'But DiCaprio's character is just this kid who's done nothing for the life he's living. He's living it up all the way with his decadence and greed, with no concern for how he got it.'
But the director isn't worried about cinema goers' possible reluctance to see a film about such a sensitive subject.
Young at heart: Ronnie Wood had a date to match when he brought along his much-younger fiancee Sally Humphreys to the event
Where does he get the energy: She recently revealed she wants to start a family despite being 31 years younger than the Rolling Stone
'The dynamics of the country are
changing and people are talking about that.' he said. 'This time in
history is a part of that conversation, and I love that we're out there
talking about it in the middle of the other films about Lincoln and
'I may take flak but I always do on some level with my work. Wouldn't be a Tarantino film without some flak and criticism. I bet anyone who sees the film won't be able to forget it - and that's the point.'
Tarantino certainly seems to have attracted a slew of stars to the project.
VIDEO: Tarantino and co-stars on the red carpet...
Newlyweds: Josh Lucas and his wife Jessica looked blissfully in love
No sign of Erin: Leonardo's ex-girlfriend Erin Heatherton's fellow Victoria's Secret Angels pals Hilary Rhoda and Lindsay Ellingson also attended the event
Cute couple: Jason Biggs and his wife Jenny Mollen cuddled up on the red-carpet
Handsome: Zach Braff scrubbed up well in a navy suit
Grooving along: On Monday Uma was spotted in New York listening to music as she walked around the Big Apple
He reunited with Inglourious Basterds
star Christoph Waltz and Pulp Fiction's Samuel L Jackson who were both
in attendance, while Don Johnson also arrived at the screening.
Johnson's daughter Dakota, Zoe Kravitz and Nichole
Galicia also added a touch of glamour to proceedings with Dakota
resembling a younger version of her actress mother Melanie Griffith.
Django Unchained is slated to hit U.S. theatres on Christmas Day.

Research Institution:
AbstractLaser eye protection has become increasingly important due to the availability of laser sources (continuous and pulsed) over a broad range of wavelengths. This is particularly the case where table top femtosecond laser pulses (~50femtoseconds) with peak powers reaching the Terawatt scale are commercially available in the visible and near infrared. The military uses many laser systems (e.g., training devices, range finders, target designators, communications devices) that emit potentially eye damaging radiation. Because personnel risk exposure to these devices, a growing need exists for eye protection at a variety of wavelengths for both CW and pulsed sources. The objective of this proposal is to develop transparent metallo-dielectric multilayer stacks that functions as a laser eye protection coating. We will design and construct multilayer stacks that provide a high transparency window in the visible spectrum but block both UV and IR light. The coating will have sufficient optical density to protect the eye from damage by laser radiation in these two spectral regions. As part of the Phase I effort we will build and test these stacks on both rigid and flexible substrates in order to provide a wide variety of protection applications. The Phase I work will also produce a technology development and demonstrate plan for the proposed solution that will be executed in Phase II. BENEFIT: The LEP technology solution will create a passive barrier that protects against both continuous wave (CW) and pulsed laser emissions, will be compatible with incorporation into a polycarbonate visor during molding, and not be angularly dependent. Because of dramatically increased use of military laser systems The U.S. Air Force, Army, and Navy all have requirements for increased requirements for LEP for personnel. Potentially any commercial field that uses lasers or laser eye protection (e.g., medical/dental laser surgery, lab technicians, welding, manufacturing, and laser research) can benefit from develop of LEP technology

(MANILA) -- Buxom stars of Philippine sex movies led 2,000 entertainment industry workers Monday in the first major protest against President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo policies, to demand the removal of a ban on a film showing sexual acts.
The protesters, denouncing what they called suppression of artistic freedom, marched to the presidential palace hours after Arroyo's new chief censor took office with a vow to stamp out pornography in local movies.
``We're just trying to show what is happening in our society,'' actress Klaudia Koronel told reporters, referring to her banned film ``Live Show,'' which portrays women who perform various sex acts before customers in order to escape from poverty.
Koronel, a carpenter's daughter in real life, has become nationally popular after appearing in films showing nudity.
Wearing a body-hugging shirt, Koronel was joined in the protest by directors and actresses who have appeared in steamy movies.
``My plan is... to make movies an instrument for nation building,'' art critic and fiction writer Alejandro Roces said after Arroyo appointed him chairman of the Movie and Television Review Classification Board.
``If you see 'Live Show'... you will be ashamed of being a Filipino,'' Roces said.
``Live Show'' had packed cinemas until Arroyo axed it last week.
The banning of ``Live Show'' has provoked fierce protests from the film industry, which accused Arroyo of buckling to pressure from Manila archbishop Cardinal Jaime Sin, the top prelate in the largely Roman Catholic nation.
Previous Chairman Resigned
The previous classification board chairman, Nicanor Tiongson, resigned after Arroyo overruled the board's earlier decision to let the film to be shown.
Arroyo drew fire for banning a movie her critics said she had not even seen.
An appeals committee, which includes representatives of Arroyo and the movie industry, was set to screen the film later Monday. Palace press aides said they had no information Arroyo herself would see the film.
Political analysts have said that unless Arroyo defuses the storm quickly, ruling-party candidates may suffer defeat in the May legislative elections where her party is running against candidates of ousted president Joseph Estrada (news - web sites).
``It pains me to know that (other countries) have seen 'Live Show' but in my country, my own people cannot see it,'' the film's director Jose Javier Reyes told Reuters.
The movie has been shown at international film festivals.
``We are returning to the Dark Ages,'' director Joel Lamangan said.
Roces, 76, served as secretary of education during the presidency of Arroyo's father, Diosdado Macapagal, who ruled the country from 1961 to 1965.
He said he did not object to depicting sex in movies but rather on ``how it is shown.''
``Do I want my daughter or my grandchildren to see this? What good will it do them?'' he said of ``Live Show.''
Roces backed his policy against supposedly pornographic films by citing local newspaper reports about a boy who raped a girl after purportedly seeing ``Live Show.''

Mrs. Dickey is an outstanding member of society. They could learn a thing or two from her...
If people do some heavy digging they will find that before the 80s pitbulls in England where know as Nanny dogs,because they are great will kids and protective as well. In the 80'a man in the US had a bitbull and taught it to be aggressive and he had his dog attack his girlfriend and the dog killed her. Also the reason why they use pitbulls for fighting is because they are goal oriented that when they are raised to fight that is there one go la in mind.
If you don't believe me look it up.
Mary Ann, pretty strong assertions. Any proof? Any science about what pit bulls were _intended_ to do? Ms. Dickey cited hundreds of sources. You obviously have a thing about hating pit bulls -- as your one-note Twitter account proves. But your invective lacks anything substantive. If you want to convince people, make a solid argument.
It's also important to note the source of these anti-dog, anti-safety, stalking extremists. Craig Brown, who was the one removed from Ms. Bronwen's reading in North Carolina, is affiliated with Daxton's Friends (which also includes/esteems a firefighter who was demoted for driving around with duct tape and other implements to torture dogs). Daxton's Friends is affiliated with Dogsbite, which exaggerates and fabricates statistics often quoted by the media without any verification.
Note that the organization involved here is the leading pro-BSL, anti-pit bull voice by default, since no expert or knowledgeable organization holds the extreme and ignorant opinions that they do.
Just another pit bull airhead endangering others with her tripe..yawn...nothing here but the usual pitignorance. Pits were never intended to be kept as pets by the dogmen who originally bred them as the "bull and terrier". They intended them to KILL each other in dog fighting pits for their bloodsport amusement. Grotesque breed and, far as I can see, grotesque owners...putting the lives of their grotesque beasts before anyone and anything. BAN 'em and be done with this godforsaken breed.
Hi everyone, my name is Roy Askey, and I would like to talk about the lawsuit against the state of North Carolina featured in this publication, that focuses on the rights of a section of society that is often overlooked, yet is still entitled to our first amendment freedoms and protection.
If anyone is interested in donating their legal expertise or is able to make a donation towards helping retain a constitutional law attorney to help fight this case, it would be greatly appreciated. I was reluctant to an extent to do this story, but was reminded that the issues at hand are bigger than myself.. so here I am reaching out to you. Here is the link to the crowdsourcing webpage: www.gofundme.com/2a6bvfus
Over 50,000 persons reside behind bars in North Carolina's prison system, without access to law libraries and at times even with out the most rudimentary advice found in legal publications. Many pro-lawsuit/exoneration and anti-prison industrial complex publications do not make it into prison walls because of heavy censorship with highly questionable reasons for doing so. How does a newsletter, which exhorts the prison reader to 'not pick up a weapon, pick up a book' and build your life in a more socially-conscious manner, constitute a 'threat to the safety and security of the prison and its staff'? It does not.
I have compiled years worth of supporting documents which show that the North Carolina Department of Public Safety, as the prison system in this state is formally known, has knowingly and willfully denied access to publications which could help inmates, if they utilized the information contained in these publications, on their path to rehabilitation through education about what their rights as human beings are, and to properly defend themselves through the legal system.
Because the legal and political publications, including but not limited to: Prison Legal News, 4strugglemag, Under Lock & Key and others -- contain information critical of prison abuse and sexual harassment, mass incarceration, the new Jim Crow, prison profiteering and the prison industrial complex, many individual issues of publications are banned, with some publications (Under Lock & Key) facing an outright total ban.
The issue has been brought to federal court. Just because you, the prison authorities, do not like the content of someone's speech or press, does not mean that you can censor it or restrict it based on the needs of 'security and order', if there is not a justified reason in doing so. You are willfully disregarding first amendment rights because you feel as if you can get away with it and no one is watching.
Censorship case law reads as follows:
"Government cannot regulate speech because it disagrees with the message conveyed." - Gentala v. City of Tucson, 213 F3d 1055 (9th Cir. 2000)
"Criticism of public officials lies at the very core of speech protected by the First Amendment." - Metro Display Advertising v. City of Victorville, 143 F3d 1191 (9th Cir. 1998)
"Prisoners retain First Amendment rights." - X-Men Sec., Inc. v. Pataki, 196 F3d 56 (2nd Cir. 1999)
"Government may not regulate speech based on its substantive content or the message it conveys." - Velazquez v. Legal Services Corp., 164 F3d 757 (2nd Cir. 1999)
Despite the fact that the federal courts have allowed the case to be judged, and there is past court rulings in favor of exactly what is going on between the prison population and North Carolina's Department of Public Safety, Justice in this country comes with a price tag attached to it. It doesn't make sense to me either, for what is right and correct, to be wrong, unless you have enough money to make it right again.. it is a corrupt system.
I am here asking for your assistance to right some wrongs enacted against a population that is in the shadows, out of sight, out of mind. With few exceptions, people who want to better themselves and to stay knowledgeable and informed because of past mistakes, should be allowed to do this without interference.
Let's keep North Carolina from slipping further backwards in this area as well.
If you may have any questions regarding the case and other related matters, feel free to let me know :)

That's the way some may see it. Gentrify.
Some of this area is designated as historical. Years ago many prominent African Americans lived in these architecturally beautiful homes. This area should be restored with historical markers placed along Fayetteville St.and promoted as a tourism area to celebrate the lives and community of this area. These were homes of Durham's African American doctors,attorneys,bankers,politicians, busi ess owners, teachers, etc. Most people do not know the history of this area.
The community and city should require that all owners come together to discuss how to improve this area and not allow people to come in and purchase without some commitment to the enhancement of the community.
This area should be comparable to the Trinity area around Duke. It would benefit NCCU to be able to present a safer area around the campus with businesses that serve the community as well as the campus.
When I was a child this area was absolutely beautiful with manicured lawns, shaded porches and families who cared about this area. We can make this area come alive again. It takes the effort of city government and community to achieve this goal. We should start today with the slogan "Make Our Community Beautiful Again" and do it!
Good article! As an owner of three "Pit Bull-Type dogs" this statement really resonated: "You talk about "breedism"—does that mean believing that pure breeds are better? And also just that some breeds are not normal. They are not deserving of homes; they need to be exterminated, and then things will somehow get better. It's simply not true." The range of reactions strangers have when I walk my dogs covers this full gamut. A good example of one end of the spectrum is the mad-typist who has posted 5 of the 12 comments on this thread. At the other end of the spectrum someone I met while walking my dogs told me that "Pit Bulls" were magical. I can often be heard telling people that neither assumption is true. They're just dogs and dogs are individuals.
Carolyn , how many pit bulls have you helped in the shelter ?
The Colonel has a better understanding of national security than the president does. Best to honor his opinion, rather than try to belittle it.
Yoohoo, Barry, check the stats. I know it's work, and they would reveal the truth, but look at one month in this table anyway. Just for the lark of it. For no other reason than to debunk that claim.
It's called urban blight. Durham may be maturing. "Gentrify it?" If the homicide rate were manageable, businesses respected and honored, taxes lower, maybe. But it's still Durham. The liberal's dream.
Certainly not the mental health care it needs
This is what the "grassroots" tea party wanted and they're getting it in spades. How do you weaken the only entity on the planet that can prevent you polluting with impunity, paying your workers nothing (hey Drumpf things wages are already too high), and getting the lower and middle class to subsidize our tax breaks (while moving billions off-shore legally)? While that's easy, dump your excess billions into an anonymous campaign finance system that allows you to buy up enough media access to convince an ignorant 21% of voters (in midterm elections which only turn out 40% of eligible voters) that facts and reason are the enemy and your ineffectual puppet is the solution.
Thom Tillis (R-Art Pope's Sphincter) is just another example of a billionaire tool who just happened to get a promotion from weakening NC to trying to ruin the federal government to the benefit of billionaire barons like the Kochs.
Before some mouthbreathing gun-humpin' jesus freak says I'm a libtard ask yourself this: Why has your state income tax gone up since the flat tax has been enacted? Guess what Cochise?! You just helped pay for the tens of thousand dollar tax cut your wealthy neighbor (or Senator) got on his income tax bill. Not only that, you also helped the state reduce funding to education, food stamps, hurricane relief (though McCrory helped with using some of that money to fund his pointless icky people in the bathrooms law), etc that is moving NC just one step closer to fiscal positions of states like Louisiana and Kansas.
I'm sure all of the people in fast food service fighting to get paid a living wage feel super-sad that you're not able to make "bags of cash" on late Sunday mornings too.
I am indeed very happy for my life; My name is Vargas Cynthia I never thought that I will live on earth before the year runs out. I have been suffering from a deadly disease (HIV) for the past 5 years now; I had spent a lot of money going from one places to another, from churches to churches, hospitals have been my every day residence. Constant checks up have been my hobby not until last Month, I was searching through the internet, I saw a testimony on how DR. Ben helped someone in curing her HIV disease, quickly I copied his email which is
(firstname.lastname@example.com).I spoke to him, he asked me to do some certain things which I did, he told me that he is going to provide the herbal to me, which he did, then he asked me to go for medical checkup after some days after using the herbal cure, I was free from the deadly disease, he only asked me to post the testimony through the whole world, faithfully am doing it now, please brothers and sisters, he is great, I owe him in my life. if you are having a similar problems just email him on (email@example.com) or simply whatsapp him on:

Ms. Lathrop, your much ballyhooed comment reading seemed to miss the part where you claimed shampoo wasn't invented until 1927 and then were refuted by a fellow commenter. So perhaps you'll catch this one. LIQUID shampoo was invented in 1927, shampoo itself has been around for hundreds of years.
Here is a link for you from Time Magazine on the history: http://time.com/3998228/history-of-shampoo…
Here is another link that shows examples of shampoo ads from pre 1930: http://tinyurl.com/guslzcm
See, not so fun when people comment at you with a snarky tone, is it? Weird how people don't like that and are somehow unconvinced by it.
But by all means, please lecture us all on disliking facts.
@Ms. Lathrop--A quick Google search of your name + "pit bulls" indicates that you are an extraordinarily prolific and ubiquitous internet commentor on this subject. If you feel so strongly about this and are willing to devote so much time to it, why not write your own book, and lay off the (frankly creepy) fixation you seem to have on Ms. Dickey?

As a massive fan of Charlie's Screenwipe & Newswipe, at first I wasn't too keen and was fearing the worst for this, but it has grown on me. Immediately hearing jokes just to make the studio audience laugh had me shaking my head and feared a very poor attempt at a mainstream Screenwipe, but by episode 3 or 4 I was warming to it and mainly became interested and was enjoying it for much of what I like about Screenwipe, which is the fact that I don't watch television in the traditional sense. I generally find out about & watch TV shows online, as the way TV has gone there is very little for me nowadays and the set is only switched on for football and specific shows airing new episodes. So this serves a similar purpose to Screenwipe for me in that I get to see what I'm missing, but with Charlie's distinct take on things. This alone makes it an enjoyable watch for someone like me. In addition, I was pleased to see certain guests such as Frankie Boyle & Frank Skinner (and the always delightful Victoria Coren) and whilst it may not be the best thing ever or even on a par with Screenwipe, I still found it worthy of watching every episode. Any complaints I may have are minor and borne out of the fact that it's just Screenwipe for the masses, but that doesn't instantly make it awful. I've judged this on it's own merit and 6* may not be a great rating (it's just my crazy scale) but I did like the show and hope for more.

Cubs Ready to Sign Jim Edmonds
The recently released Jim Edmonds should clear waivers on Wednesday and it looks like the Cubs are going to bite. The move would likely send Felix Pie to the minors and give Edmonds the majority of playing time in a center field platoon with Reed Johnson.
[UPDATE 4:00 PM]:Ruz has added his take, at the bottom of the article.
So it's understandable that the Cubs want to upgrade center field right now. It seems to be the only weak spot in the lineup and some of our guys are certainly going to regress substantially from their early season success. But could the Cubs actually find someone to upgrade with?
A tale of the 2008 tape after the jump...
|Felix Pie
|Jim Edmonds
|vs Righties
|Really Good
|Slipping Fast
|Not a douchebag
|Frost his tips, has a vanity license plate that says "Hollywood"
Other than pitches per plate appearance, Felix Pie is actually out-hitting someone in baseball and it happens to be the guy about to replace him. Granted, another bat in the lineup that is going to see over or near four pitchers per plate appearance is going to drive pitching staffs batty, but that's one small plus for this potential transaction in a sea of minuses.
Of course, it could be argued that Edmonds has a history of being a pretty good hitter and center fielder and he's going to bounce back at any moment.
I doubt it.
(Ed note: So as not to be misleading, 100 is a league-average OPS+, not 125 as the chart suggests. I assume most of you know that, but just in case.)
He's clearly on the downside of his career, I think he's actually going on the "put him out to pasture" part of his career.
But even if Hendry and the Cubs can catch some lightning in a bottle, it's Jim "Fucking" Edmonds. I hated this guy for every one of his eight seasons with the Cardinals. How the hell can you root for Jim Edmonds on the Chicago Cubs? There's part of me (a rather large part) that hopes he goes 0 for his first 20 or 40 or whatever it takes to get him cut as soon as possible. This is the guy that Zambrano drilled twice in one game after some home run showboating.
My stock response in these situations when the Cubs have a player that I'm not particulary fond of is, "I hope he does well, but I doubt it". In this case, I hope Zambrano drills him with a fastball the moment he walks in the clubhouse...and then another one the first time he takes batting practice...maybe one more when he's in the clubhouse shower.
Freaking Jim Edmonds is about to be a Cub...maybe Hendry can swing a deal to bring in AJ Pierzynski, Mark Buehrle, Roy Oswalt, Barry Bonds and Ozzie Guillen in as a bench coach. That would definitely take the "lovable" out of "lovable" losers. Oh sure, I want to the Cubs win, pretty much at all costs. But since I have serious doubts that Jim Edmonds will be anything other than a road bump for Felix Pie's eventual return to the club or a trade for legitimate upgrade, I'd rather the Cubs just let him ride off into the sunset. Or maybe off to the Reds.
Ruz's Take:
I will be so angry if this happens.
I have a visceral anti-Edmonds reaction, and the comments below show me I'm not alone. For me, it's not about his frosted tips (something which I will admit to having done myself). It's not even about the fact that he is more identified with the St. Louis Cardinals than just about any player in the last decade. That, in and of itself, wouldn't make this a bad signing. Believe me, if the Cubs traded for Albert Pujols, I would have no problem rooting for him.
No, the problem is that not only is Jim Edmonds Mr. Cardinal, he also sucks. He just got put on waivers by the Padres, who are currently the worst team in baseball. The Padres are hitting .233 as a team, and they decided they didn't want Edmonds any more, that they'd rather take their chances with Scott Hairston and Jody Gerut in center. Edmonds is about to turn 38 and is in the middle of his fourth-straight season of declining production. He's hitting 178/265/233 (yes, he's slugging .233!). Why send Felix Pie back to the minors to take a flyer on an aging veteran who might, but might not, regain his stroke?
Several years ago there was chatter about the Cubs acquiring Chipper Fucking Jones. Now there are few players in baseball I dislike more than Chipper Fucking Jones. In fact, there might not be any player in baseball I dislike more than Chipper Fucking Jones. But when the possibility of Chipper Fucking Jones becoming a Cub was raised, I got over my initial distaste because it seemed pretty clear that acquiring him would help the Cubs.
If Jim Edmonds was still getting on base at a .360+ clip and hitting 20-30 homers, I would be happy to see him in a Cubs uniform. After all, I'm a Cubs fan, and anything that makes the Cubs better makes me happy. But this isn't going to make the Cubs better; it's going to make them worse, at the expense of one of their young prospects, and it's going to come with the indignity of Jim Edmonds in a Cubs uniform.
One last poll on the NL Central Smackdown below this post or on the right sidebar...promise. I just want some data on what you guys think is the best overall staff in the NL Central. My ranks would be Cubs, Brewers (w/ Gallardo), Reds, Pirates, Cardinals, Astros.
Re: Cubs Ready to Sign Jim Edmonds
It's a proven vet Dude
Re: It's a proven vet Dude
In Lou's estimation, PIE is a proven **Dud** so if Edmonds is acquired it's possible that PIE is about to be traded, or at least offered in trade along with our other expendable outfielder MATT MURTON among others, to the team that showed interest in both, none other than THE SAN DIEGO PADRES.
GM Kevin Towers is in Chicago right now and I'm guessing, given the deep hole SD finds itself in, he's serious-talking to Hendry.
Re: Cubs Ready to Sign Jim Edmonds
Nice Edmonds picture.
Re: Cubs Ready to Sign Jim Edmonds
Meh. Maybe this will be like Jason Kendall and produce some positive results. I tend to agree with Rob's skeptic stance though.
Although I also have a problem with rooting for Edmonds, it isn't going to keep me from being pleased when he does succeed. Apparently Hendry freely admits Edmonds isn't really a fix in CF, and maybe more ABs in AAA will somehow be beneficial for Pie (though I doubt that too).
Slightly off topic...
Just did my lunch-time walk in Chi.
The winds are gusting 15-25mph!
Left field bleachers will be a very busy place today, hopefully off of Cub bats.
This is not the optimum conditions for Jason "I used to be a Sinkerball Pitcher" Marquis, who has had the ball up and over the plate his last three starts.
Re: Slightly off topic...
Our Marquis matchup today is... wait for it... Shawn Estes. Yep, the Padres just brought him up from Portland (which is coincidentally losing at this moment to the Iowa Cubbies).
Suddenly I feel better. :-)
Re: Cubs Ready to Sign Jim Edmonds
I'm hoping this is just the Sun Times trying to dig up some sports news. I'd have one heck of a hard time rooting for Edmonds. I really feel like we should just let Pie play. We're leading the NL in runs scored, so who cares if he bats .230 for now? And, actually, hasn't anyone else noticed that his numbers have slowly been rising? If they want to make changes, move Fukie over to CF and bring Murt back up (he's recently collected his first 3 doubles of the season).
Edmonds. I might vomit. I'd rather bring in Bonds. At least we could be pretty certain that Barry would hit.
Re: Cubs Ready to Sign Jim Edmonds
This, this is Not Wise.
Re: Cubs Ready to Sign Jim Edmonds
Read my comment below. :)
But I probably did read at least 66% of the words in this one.....
Re: Cubs Ready to Sign Jim Edmonds
Re: Edmonds...is there any definitive answer with respect to the previous 50 concussions the Dude has had? Isn't he still in "recovery"?
Re: Cubs Ready to Sign Jim Edmonds
I'd be fine with it if it were a minor league contract. If Edmonds rebounds from the calf injury and starts hitting over .300 in a few weeks then bring him up and send Pie down for regular ABs. If not, then release him. But Hollywood is not going to agree to that.
Re: Cubs Ready to Sign Jim Edmonds
Mark Prior had an MRI on Monday and is expected to fly out to Birmingham to meet with Dr. James Andrews on Wednesday. Not a good sign.
Re: Cubs Ready to Sign Jim Edmonds
Re: Cubs Ready to Sign Jim Edmonds
One final, slightly more useful comment:
the graph is a bit deceiving in that the "center" line isn't 100, but 125. The decline is steep, but if you shifted the graph upward to make 100 the visual centerpoint, it wouldn't be quite so spectacularly horrid a sight.
Re: Cubs Ready to Sign Jim Edmonds
Yea... that is a good example of how to distort data to prove a point.
But the graph does still show a drastic drop in production, but the bottom end of the production is not as bad as the graph makes it out to be.
Re: Cubs Ready to Sign Jim Edmonds
Oh, that's Edmonds' production numbers? I thought it was Bush's approval rating..
Re: Cubs Ready to Sign Jim Edmonds
Didn't think the comment that won this thread would be because of a political joke.
Re: Cubs Ready to Sign Jim Edmonds
No, Edmonds was at least productive at some point in his career.
Re: Cubs Ready to Sign Jim Edmonds
Chances are Edmonds will flop...but Felix Pie isn't exactly setting the world on fire, if he was then they wouldn't have to worry about signing anyone. I'd say give him a month or so and if he isn't the right fit for the team get rid of him. I don't see any real downside. Its Pie that is holding back his own progression, not Lou Piniella or Jim Hendry.
Its not like were going to be trading anyone good to get him. we are are going to sign him for the Vetern minamium and if he sucks after a month, we cut him and Pie gets a month in AAA to work on his adjustments in his batting stance. As long as they are not sold on him as the solution no matter what it is a no-lose deal.
Re: Cubs Ready to Sign Jim Edmonds
It is infuriating that Dusty is willing to play Edmonds over Pie with those numbers. If we are going to live with a line like that, at least let it be because we are building for the future. Pie has yet been given a chance to play a long string of games.
Re: Cubs Ready to Sign Jim Edmonds
Let's take a look at the few recent scrap heap pick-ups, by Hendry, shall we?
Reed Johnson- Offense, C- Defense, A
Jason Kendall - Offense, B/B-(NLDS RBI), Defense, C+ (better than Barrett)
Chad Fox - Useless, D
Whom am I leaving out? In any case, two of the three have provided value to the club. Both Johnson and Kendall have "new life" at their new teams.
If this were to happen, it certainly would not be a long term commitment ala Jason Schmidt. Just like the above examples, it is a low risk, probably low reward type of move.

Re: Cubs Ready to Sign Jim Edmonds
I would like to start a list of players the Cubs got too late in their careers. Perhaps they were serviceable or did a good job but still too late. Here are a few off the top of my head:
Gary Gaetti
Rick Aguilera
Rod Beck
Todd Hundley
Jason Kendall
Please add your own
Re: Cubs Ready to Sign Jim Edmonds
Howard Frickin' Johnson
Mel Rojas
Dave Smith
Re: Cubs Ready to Sign Jim Edmonds
The above (Mel Rojas!) were not recent Hendry signs.

You're right. Looking at his stats, they weren't as impressive as I thought, and I thought he was in his mid 30s.
Re: Cubs Ready to Sign Jim Edmonds
My stock response in these situations when the Cubs have a player that I'm not particulary fond of is, "I hope he does well, but I doubt it".
On the other hand, Rob, look at how well John Starks did when he became a Bull.
Oh, wait...
Re: Cubs Ready to Sign Jim Edmonds
Edmonds is a textbook douchebag, but if the Cubs are only paying him $300K I'm not going to get bent out of shape over the move. An Edmonds/Johnson platoon will probably be better than giving Johnson 130+ starts.

Dempster's turned out pretty well as a scrapheap pickup.

Re: Cubs Ready to Sign Jim Edmonds
And what does the word RECENT mean to you?
For me, RECENT means "within the last 12 months".
MANNY TRILLO and I were/are very aware of "previous to RECENT" scrap heap signings. I have published the "definitive Hendry "stiffs list" right here, during the 2006 season.
However, the scouting, since qualified people have been added, has somewhat improved since the end of the 2006 season.
Anyway, Cubster -
I HATE Jim Edmonds. Almost as much as Will Oh-Man! Not quite - but almost.
Re: Cubs Ready to Sign Jim Edmonds
...Enrique Wilson...
Solid gold.

Does Bynum count?
Re: Cubs Ready to Sign Jim Edmonds
Craig Monroe one of last years scrap heap pickups which didn't do so well with the Cubs is actually playing well with the Twins this year.
Re: Cubs Ready to Sign Jim Edmonds
Now maybe Pie can go back to AAA and fix his swing. Probably not, he'll probably keep using that retarded swoop swing and he'll have all kinds of success in AAA and everyone will stand around scratching their heads trying to figure out Pie's mental block. Ugh... I have never been thrilled about Pie, the regulars around here know this very well. This is why, no one on the club is willing to coach him into good hitting mechanics. They figure, "well, he's clobbering the ball in AAA, let's not mess with it."
Edmonds? Meh, whatever. Better than nothing.
*runs and hides*
Re: Cubs Ready to Sign Jim Edmonds
Maybe when Edmonds puts on his Cub uniform he begans to melt like the Nazis at the end of "Raiders of the Lost Ark".

Jim Edmonds is so old that his high school yearbook is IN the Lost Ark.

Pie Dilemma
Like most Cub fans I have cultivated a hatred for Edmonds, but that's not why I don't like this signing. When guys throw on the blue pinstripes it usually doesn't take long to forget the past. I won't like it initially, but the first time Edmonds is standing on second base in his Cubs uniform, clapping his hands after a key RBI double, I'll like him fine.
The reason I don't like this is that it creates a no-win scenario for Pie that will inevitably reduce his value to the Cubs, either as a player or as a trade chip.
There are two possible scenarios after he is sent to Iowa. One, he tears AAA pitching up (again). If that happens, the conclusion will be a little different than when he was viewed as just an up-and-down "prospect" -- he will be finally cast as a certified AAAA player. If he fails at the major league level and then hits .375 at AAA, we will be forced to admit that his ceiling is probably at AAA.
The other possible scenario is that he struggles or does just OK at Iowa. If that happens, his career goes into a permanent holding pattern.
Under either of these scenarios, his confidence is dinged and his trade value is minimized. Is taking a flyer on a (hated) outfielder -- one who would at best be a stopgap option -- worth all that?
Either play Pie now or trade him now. Enough of these silly AAA games.
Re: Pie Dilemma
Well, he probably WILL clobber AAA pitching and explained why above ^^^
Frosted Tips
Frosted tips are such a great detail. Can you confirm that it is true?
Soriano has a really bad car. I assume many of these guys are douchebags, but so far the Cubs seem not to have amassed more than their fair share.
Hardest Cub to root for?
For my money, it was Ryno when he came back. Really pathetic.
Speaking of Ryno
When did he become Larry Bowa?
Suspended for 3 games
Re: Frosted Tips
Indeed, Edmonds's frosted tips seem to be common knowledge.
A little additional searching turned up frosted tips on ARod and Clemens. Bad company.
Re: Cubs Ready to Sign Jim Edmonds
Does Bynum count?
He can count to 12 (if he uses Alfonseca's fingers)
Re: Cubs Ready to Sign Jim Edmonds
Re: Cubs Ready to Sign Jim Edmonds
Edmonds is a scrotum and I don't want him on the Cubs.
Hey that Reed Johnson thing really worked out, huh? So let's replace him with another discard that sucks even more. Good fucking idea.
Re: Cubs Ready to Sign Jim Edmonds
I took a roadtrip to St. Louis last summer. Even the Cardinal fans in my section had Zero love for Edmonds. The biggest complaint was his penchant for shortlegging routine flyballs into diving attempts. The consensus seemed to be that he was a Hot Dog Douche. That being said. Reed Johnson and Felix Pie have shown they aren't the answer. If Lou isnt going to put KFuk in center. Then we absolutely need to put SOMEONE out there who can add something to the offense. Be it a Edmonds/Johnson or Jack Jones/Johnson platoon.
Re: Cubs Ready to Sign Jim Edmonds
San Diego has never been a hitters park. Plenty of hitters (Phil Nevin) who started losing their power, dropped like stones out there. It's possible that Edmonds gets back in the central. Faces pitchers he is familiar with. And sets his "Lightning trap" where it needs to be. Or Maybe he is really done. Either way, its worth it IMHO for the cubs to take a minimum wage flier on a guy with his track record. And trust me when I say it. I have hated Gay Jim more than anyone over the years. I just want the cubs to win. And since Lou aint gonna play Pie or Murton. We better get a vetern Platoon Lefty in here that can help. Edmonds,Jack Jones, Griffey, whomever.
Re: Cubs Ready to Sign Jim Edmonds
I give it a week before Theriot is wearing eyeliner and half t-shirts.
Putting out to pasture or putting out of misery?
"He's clearly on the downside of his career, I think he's actually going on the 'put him out to pasture part of his career."
As steep as that graph is falling, I think "putting him down" would be the more appropriate animal metaphor.
Sounds like he would come cheap, but there is a very good reason for that. And why opt for declining mediocrity when reliable mediocrity with at least a glimmer up upside (Pie) is around?
Re: Cubs Ready to Sign Jim Edmonds
Rooting for Dennis Rodman seemed hard at first, then easier.
If Edmonds performs and embraces the Wrigley faithful, it will be all right.
Re: Cubs Ready to Sign Jim Edmonds
If Chicago fans can root for Dennis Rodman, they can certainly root for Jim Edmonds. The level of vitriol and venom for Rodman was FAR worse in the late 80's/early 90's than it ever was for Edmonds, and he became a fan favorite. Granted, he was still good when he was with the Bulls so that was why. I doubt Edmonds will reach the level of success necessary to look past his past.
You know who would probably be good enough to overlook his indiscretions? Bonds. Fuku in center, Bonds in right 3 games per week would absolutely destroy the Central division. The outfield defense would be terrible, but if we thought the Cubs were seeing a lot of pitches/pa now...
Re: Cubs Ready to Sign Jim Edmonds
Also, having Bonds available to PH the other 3 games/week would be sick. The guy's a douche, but I'm guessing the fact that no team has even looked at him might have brought his ego a bit down to earth. I doubt he'd be a diva/jerk in the clubhouse on an unfamiliar team when being given a second chance. But maybe I'm just being too optimistic about the guy.
Re: Cubs Ready to Sign Jim Edmonds
"I doubt he'd be a diva/jerk in the clubhouse on an unfamiliar team when being given a second chance."
Once a diva/jerk, always a diva/jerk.
Re: Cubs Ready to Sign Jim Edmonds
You know what I would rather not have Barry Bonds on the Cubs.
People bitch about Soriano being an egomaniac, selfish prick (though where are those people now??!?!) and yet want to bring in Bonds.
Sorry in the peoples eyes he is a nobody, and to other franchises he is a cancer. No wants to legitamize his career by giving him a second chance.
The real HR champ is still Hank Aaron and the next may be A-rod, but Bonds will never be the champ in how the fans look at the game. He disgraced it.
Re: Cubs Ready to Sign Jim Edmonds
Are you referring to me as one of the "people" bitching about Soriano being an egomaniac, selfish prick? If so, that couldn't be further from the truth. I've stated that another 6.5 years of him will be an albatross due to his now chronically bad legs and high K rate, but I've never once commented on his personality. From what I've seen, Soriano seems like a happy-go-lucky guy who gets along with his teammates.
As for Bonds, I don't really want him, but as long as Hendry is going to sign an old, douchebag outfielder, we might as well sign the one who will actually OPS around 1.000.
Re: Cubs Ready to Sign Jim Edmonds
Bonds in right is a terrible idea. How many singles/double would turn into triples/itphomers?
Re: Cubs Ready to Sign Jim Edmonds
Rob, defense is the excuse people use to back up their opinions when stats won't do the trick. You should know that by now!
Re: Cubs Ready to Sign Jim Edmonds
You can link what you want but the truth is that with his leg problems, he has trouble running and he's never had a good arm (self admitted). Those two things are a recipe for disaster out there.
In his day, he was a great fielder. And by no means is he a butcher out there. but he can't move the way he used to. He's 43 for crying out loud.
Re: Cubs Ready to Sign Jim Edmonds
"Considering that's possibly moving two players to accomodate one that we dont' really need, it would be retarded."

You know that I would rather not have Barry Bonds on the Cubs.

Seems like Edmonds used to own our asses. That said, unless he's got a nice supply of HGH or "The Clear", I don't expect him to do much now.
Anyone have his Wrigley splits? It'd be interesting to know what he's hitting in our yard. Yeah, I know... numbers are skewed because it's Cubs pitching... ;)
Re: Cubs Ready to Sign Jim Edmonds
Here is what he has done career against current cubs pitchers
Re: Cubs Ready to Sign Jim Edmonds
Thanks. Looks like Liebs won't mind this signing one bit...
Re: Cubs Ready to Sign Jim Edmonds
Edmonds doesn't bother me nearly as much as Felix does, and I used to do PR for Pie, as you may recall.
See analysis (or fulmination) here.
I doubt that Pie ever raked in the minors, at any level. I just can't picture it. If he did, then Dave Keller and Gerald Perry and, yes, part-time hitting coach Lou Piniella have some explaining to do, because he's messed up now.
Edmonds can play the position and he's one other guy besides Lee who can hit a ball to the seats in right field. What's complicated?
It could be worse...
At least the Edmonds negotiations are distracting Hendry from thinking about signing another recently released former Cardinal, Julian Tavarez.
Seriously...the Cubs have scored more runs than any team in baseball with Soriano limping and D-Lee batting .222/.286/.378 in the month of May so far. This team needs to be adding starting pitching, not another retread outfielder. Especially one that we all seem to hate so viscerally.
This only makes sense if there is a trade of Pie and a pitching prospect in the works for a league-average starting pitcher.
Re: Cubs Ready to Sign Jim Edmonds
Felix Pie Minor League numbers:
2190 AB's .300/.358/.468 not raking of course.
He may never approximate that in the majors, but for god's sake, he needs to play consistently for a few months. Not a month, not a week, not every 4th game.
I hope the Cubs trade him, and he jams it up their ass for the next 12 seasons.
Jim Edmonds.....what a joke. Can we go get Sidney Ponson too? He threw a good game this year....ugh.
Looks like "Everyone in the bleachers gets a free sovenoiur day"
or "Say goodbye to Felix Pie day" might be postponed:
80% chance of rain today.
Re: "Everyone in the bleachers gets a free sovenoiur day"

Re: Cubs Ready to Sign Jim Edmonds
Jim Hendry, the junkman, a complete rebuild is just three years away. Hopefully someone will send Jim the Marlin's playbook. They look really good on top in the East.
Re: Cubs Ready to Sign Jim Edmonds
If they're still leading the National League in slugging in July, then you're right. Unfortunately, I don't think that's going to happen. Uggla, Willingham, and Jacobs are all playing out of their mind. They won't slug 500 all season. Hanley and Hermida won't keep up their current pace.
Let's see if you still want Jimmy to play the Marlins game at the All-Star break.
Re: Cubs Ready to Sign Jim Edmonds
I think this is where you'll find Jim Edmonds these days:
If you refer to the description of what kind of person rates a douchebag here, Edmonds pretty much has it all - frosted tips, spray - on tan, and pretty girls on his arm.
Re: Cubs Ready to Sign Jim Edmonds
Everybody who doesn't want Edmonds just keeps saying play Pie more---it's very obvious that the ONE person who makes this decision, the manager, has made the decision NOT to play him, even vs. RHP----end of discussion---sign Edmonds and put Pie down for more playing time--
Re: Cubs Ready to Sign Jim Edmonds
This makes the Todd Hundley signing look like signing of the century.
Re: Cubs Ready to Sign Jim Edmonds
If i could be a baseball player, i would be jim edmonds.
Re: Cubs Ready to Sign Jim Edmonds

Re: Cubs Ready to Sign Jim Edmonds
why does this even matter?
jim edmonds comes on for a partial season shoving a 22 year old who's hitting cruddy for a manager that wont play him.
so while everyone is "lol dusty baker" and "oh no edmonds"...at the end of the day you got a crap hittng guy who's not gonna get his chance to break out right now and a stopgap with a "name" that may or may not work out but the worst that will happen is the LEGIT prospect rotting on the bench will actually get playing time somewhere.
big deal.
Re: Cubs Ready to Sign Jim Edmonds
i'll give you C, but if A is going to lead to pie getting 200-250ab's this year is it really worth it?
we've already heard every excuse for why pie/cedeno aren't playing...cedeno i don't mind, but pie's still overmatched and developing. it's not like he's some 25+ year old fringer.
Re: Cubs Ready to Sign Jim Edmonds
...'cause he's a douche.
Re: Cubs Ready to Sign Jim Edmonds
But I'll give him this: he does have a really scary looking jaw.
Re: why does this even matter?
I thought you were a fan of hotdogs...
Re: Cubs Ready to Sign Jim Edmonds
Maybe the Cubs want to sign Jim Edmonds so they can make him a pitcher. They could use another lefty reliever, and they haven't converted any position players to pitcher this week (so far).
Re: Cubs Ready to Sign Jim Edmonds
Does anyone have a link of Pinella/Hendy talking about Fuku being promised right field. I could swear i even saw a quote from Fuku that one of the reasons he signed with the Cubs was that they promised him right field.
I can't be making this up, right?
No, you're not making it up. Here's the link
"After I declared my free agency, the Cubs were actually one of the only teams that were trying to get me from the beginning to the end of the whole process," Fukudome said through a translator. "I felt they really wanted me and they were also one of the teams that promised me I could play my position — right field."
oh, and you're welcome.
Re: No, you're not making it up. Here's the link
thank you
Re: No, you're not making it up. Here's the link

Re: Cubs Ready to Sign Jim Edmonds
he might. but you don't just move him. and this is why hendry is looking at edmonds.
Re: Cubs Ready to Sign Jim Edmonds
You're right, but every couple of weeks or so somebody has to bring up the idea of moving him to CF. He's a right fielder, but 'I' want him at CF, so...
By the way, I just noticed the new slogan at the top of the screen. Wow...dirty. I approve.
Re: Cubs Ready to Sign Jim Edmonds
Pie will never be the center fielder getting the sporadic number of at-bats he gets. Playing 1 of every 4 games won't do it.
Corey Fucking Patterson got 3 1/2 full season to prove he wasn't as good as advertised, and Pie can't even get one full season. This with much better overall numbers in the minors than Patterson.
I repeat: I hope Pie gets traded, and jams it up the Cubs ass for 12 years or so.
Re: Cubs Ready to Sign Jim Edmonds
I'll post this here since it has been mentioned on here. The only deal the Cubs should consider with the Padres is one that would send Jake Peavy to the Cubs or maybe even Greg Maddux back. Theriot is not the best throwing short stop, but he is getting better and he is hitting well, which Green is not. They get slightly better than average defense and better than average offense, I think they need to keep that. What the Cubs need is a couple of new starting pitchers that can get the job done. I realize Marquis is streaky and the fifth starter, whoever he is really isn't getting the job done. If the Cubs want to be competetive this year they need to address this issue very soon. I don't want Kerry Wood back in the starting rotation but I'd rather see him there than Hill or Marquis or Gallagher. I'd rather someone from their farm system be able to come up and get the job done, but looking at their farm system, I don't believe anyone is ready yet.
The Padres can keep Khalil Green (and Michael Barrett)!
Re: Cubs Ready to Sign Jim Edmonds
Wouldn't the better move, at least for a little while, be to try keeping Pie around and batting him ninth with the pitcher batting eighth? Setting aside the reasons why the Cardinals (which might be more understandable if it weren't Izturis - and his .682 OPS - who was usually batting 9th) or Brewers (which makes more sense since Kendall - and his .732 OPS - is back to getting on base) do it, this would seem to make a fair amount of sense since Pie would likely get better pitches to hit with Soriano batting behind him. If Pie has any chance of showing that he can be the hitter he was in the minors in the majors, it would be batting with that kind of protection behind him. Plus, it sort of solves the Soriano as a leadoff hitter who is not a leadoff hitter problem after the first time through the order.
By the way, of the four players mentioned here, the one with the worst OPS - by far? Edmonds at .498, edging Pie (.572) by a fairly wide margin.

Chris Sale was scratched from tonight's scheduled start due to a clubhouse incident before the game
he was sent home by the team, too. the wsox released a press statement and everything. they stated it was non-physical in nature.
He was scratched from his start today. No reason given.
At the start of the season the book was that he was trying to pitch to more contact so he could stay in the game longer and it seems to be working so far. Contact against is 77.5% this year and it was 70.2% the year before. He averaged 6.7 IP/game last year and so far it's 7 IP/game. His actual pitches per game are only down to 106.1/game from 107.2/game last year but if he's able to go a bit farther into games without throwing more pitches and without giving up more runs that is a good thing.
sale's skills and insane value makes it almost too hard to have a market for the guy...he's got 3/38m owed to him over 3 seasons (2 team options). he could easily pull in 30m/yr if he was on the market as a FA.
he's throwing a bit differently this season, especially with more sliders and less changeups like earlier in his career, but all his stuff still looks great even if the HRs are a little elevated and the Ks are down.
Torres, Happ, McKinney, Jimenez, and Candelario for Sale. Deal or no deal?
"The White Sox are reportedly asking for "five top prospects" for Chris Sale, FanRag Sports' Jon Heyman reports."
Unless he develops 30+ HR power and keeps his walk rate close to his K rate at the MLB level, he's not going to turn into Prince Fielder. And even if he does turn into Prince Fielder, he's gonna have a short prime. His very limited athleticism is likely to also detract some value from his ability to reach base--I don't buy making an out as being preferable to base clogging, but you'd certainly prefer just about any base runner other than Vogelbach, David Ortiz, etc.
seeing as arod has played a total of 27.1 innings of D at 1st/3rd and somehow managed a -0.5 dWAR with his 1 error at 1st and an overall positive total zone rating...he might end up even more in the shitter via the characteristics/flaws/whatever of how some sites determine various WAR values. dWAR doesn't directly lead to a WAR value, but the 2 main entities pushing the most popular variations of WAR sometimes lead to some interesting discrepancies in value.
I have a lot of faith in Baez that he's going to turn into a more consistent, solid player. It looks like it took him about a half season or so of futility at the plate to figure out he was not talented enough to get away with the crazy approach he had. I think his running game will eventually have a more measured aggression.

We recently spent 1 night here before departing on a Disney cruise. We had a 2 bedroom villa for 2 adults and 3 kids and it was plenty of room. The room was clean and well furnished, and had a nice view of the pool and waterpark. It included a washer and dryer (and they provided the detergent), which was very helpful. The beach was enjoyed by all, and we didn't find the tram to be a nuisance. The water park and the pools were terrific, and it was easy to watch the kids while enjoying some shade along the side. We were able to use the facilities as soon as we arrived (before noon) although our rooms were not yet ready, which was very helpful. They also helped arrange transportation to our ship the next morning through a shuttle service.
While I wouldn't personally choose to go here for a full week's vacation (in those cases, I would prefer to have more dining options onsite and more excursions very nearby), we all thoroughly enjoyed the resort for our short stay and would recommend it for a quick cruise stopover or a long weekend.

From Wiktionary a "soft skill" is
Contrast this with a "hard skill":
Soft skills are those needed when dealing with people and emotions which are "soft" when compared with technical things which are "hard".
Also, "soft vs hard" does not refer to difficulty. In fact the soft skills are often more difficult to acquire (i.e. "harder") than hard skills.
The sexist among us might say that women are naturally better at soft skills while men favor hard skills. This "observation" is the basis for many sitcoms. Indeed much of the humor in the show "Bones" comes from the tough (male) FBI agent having far better soft skills than the detached (female) scientist.
