Top 10 over-discussed topics

by buzzdeadwax on Jan 9, 2009 4:32 PM EST Comment 27 comments

swo12bv suggested that we establish a list of topics that have been discussed ad nauseum. I thought this might be a good idea for a fanpost. Perhaps if enough people participate, it can be compiled and placed next to the Top Prospect list? Anyways, here's my list:

1. Peavy

2. Anything rosterbatory

3. Obvious signings that everyone agrees with, but for some reason hasn't happened yet (e.g., Sheets or Dunn)

4. The Teixera trade to the Braves

5. The Teixera trade to the Angels

6. The idea of bringing Jason Heyward to the major leagues in 2009

7. Frank Wren's incompetence

8. The Vazquez trade

9. Furcal

10. John Smoltz

While I may be guilty of some of these...

Can I suggest Honorable Mentions:

Frenchy sucks
Andruw Redux?

Those are good

You need to make a top 10.

• Manny Ramirez
• We need a lefty pitcher

No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.

-JEFF FRANCOEUR WILL FULLY REBOUND
-KELLY JOHNSON IS THE SOLUTION IN LEFT FIELD
-WE HAVE NO PROSPECTS
-FIRE FRANK WREN
-TRADE CHIPPER FOR 3 TOP 10 PROSPECTS

I read that last line differently than intended the first time.

It’s because bigjoe is gay, if you haven’t been paying attention to all of the last few nights’ posts

Andruw Jones

He should be on your list IMO.

I made this list WAY too hastily.

I’ve been thinking about this for a while now…what about signing Adam Dunn or Ben Sheets?

I guess I should be one to talk.
There's nights that I can't even walk.
There's days I couldn't give a fuck.
And in between is where I'm stuck.

dunn can’t field for shit, and sheets is going to have his arm fall of. NO THANKS

No, thank you

But I’ll take Warrick Dunn and Larry Sheets. One loves cats and the other one had an OPS+ of 143 back in ’87.

Sheets

I agree that the Sign Sheets topic has been beat to death but when something happens like Smoltz going to Boston then some subjects can be revisited I think. I personally did not want Sheets before we lost Smoltz but now he might not be a bad pick up. That is why I brought the subject up…again.
