V-Mart hopes to avoid FA Market

[Dipre]

The way you posted it makes it look like you wrote it.

 

Oh, my apologies.

 

Obvious props ORS's way.

[Dipre]

Oh, and Lol backpedals.

No apologies, I just figured you'd want to clarify that to anyone who wasn't around for that epic post.

Jacko was being Jacko, but he had a point this time. Beltre *is* coming off shoulder surgery after all. That's a thing that has been known to impact performance the following season (see 2007 Drew)

 

Thos whole thing is tangential to the point of the thread. What brought this whole massive digression up was my statement that beyond any concern about performance, you have to go easy on Beltre's playing time, which meshes nicely with the need to play V-Mart at first for about 30-40 games to keep his bat in the lineup without wearing his knees out. Then of course Dipre goes exothermic on us but there's nothing new about that, so we move on.

 

The point is that it's entirely reasonable to ease a guy back in who's coming off a bad year, two injuries and a shoulder surgery, and between Lowell, Youkilis and V-Mart this shouldn't be a problem. Also between those three, it won't be a fatal situation if for some unforseen reason Beltre DOES flame out.

I just got off the phone with one of Beltre's representatives, and he promised to give Doiji back all of the lunch money he took from him during High School if he promises to STFU about him.

Another douchebag comment from our Dominican douchebag. Probably moving toward another tempaban.

Awwwwwww Jacko's all butthurt now. Oh well. You shouldn't talk about bannings and being a douchebag. /bbdoc. /Rivernator.

 

Some adjustments about hypocrisy need to be made to the table.

Irony anyone?

To be fair, Beltre had bone spurs removed, the surgeons didn't do anything to the ligaments or tissue like they did when Posada and I believe Drew did in 2006. It's a rather minor surgery. The only negative side effect of the surgery that I've ever heard of happening is that the bone spurs can eventually grow back.

 

EDIT: Beltre had the same surgery in 1998 and was just fine in 1999. Kevlim Escobar had the surgery in 2005 and was just fine in 2006. I can't find anyone who just had a bone spur removed (without having something else in the area surgically repaired) and didn't return to form the next year.

That's because it's a minor procedure, not triple bypass surgery. Logic seems to avoid some people.

This one would seem to be a no-brainer. They don't have anybody else to catch in the next couple of years, and the guy wants to play in Boston.

 

I read that AdGon now wants Teixeira money. That's enough to get them signing VMart fast. Especially when they can get him cheaper than Bay.
