July 21st vs. Chicago

[CrespoBlows]

More mischaracterization. I never predicted that he would fall on his face. I would have made him win the job, and I would have had a back up plan. No knock on Pedroia, but a knock on the FO. I am risk averse. A $2-3 million backup veteran I thought would be prudent. BTW Loretta would have been a nice trading chip right now. The Mets among other teams need him.

 

 

That's f***ing hillarious.

 

$30 million for Clemens

Trade for Todd Helton

Trade for Jason Schmidt

Trade for Roy Oswalt

Extend Pedro Martinez

Extend Johnny Damon

 

All of them have/had significant risk of decline, and you pissed and moaned that they didn't trade 50 prospects for all of them.

so your credibility just went down a notch in my book. I've always enjoyed our disagreements, but be man enough to acknowledge when you are wrong.

 

 

Yes, the same Helton that is winning my bet, because his road OPS is .30 more than Youk's. The bet was that Helton would not do better than .20 rooad OPS above Youk. They are going in different directions those two players, but that should be expected. One of them is an all-time elite hitter. The other one is a nice player with limited skills.

 

Keep in mind this is when Helton was a full .20, behind Youkilis. You skew the numbers more than an Arthur Anderson accountant. You're the last person who should be lecturing people on humility.

 

Pedroia reminds me of Mike Gallego

 

You should really give it a rest, when you say that you were dead on in the Loretta/Pedroia comparison. You compared him to a guy who OPS'd .622.

 

In the minors.

 

You didn't think Pedroia had a chance to hit they way he did. You said his peak was an average player. Again, stop projecting.
