And that deal was promptly rejected by Kenny Williams. Crisp has done nothing to improve his value, while Buehrle has thrown a no hitter. Great. Run that by Williams again.

Why would Chicago make that trade? Coco Crisp is OPSing .612, and his OBP is below .300. Bowden is a good prospect, but Buehrle is top of the rotation starter. Do you really think you can get him for a potential ace, a potential utility infielder, and a below average CF?

Instead of trading a bunch of relievers, we could give Jacoby Ellsbury a chance.

Lindsay Lohan gets into a car accident while under the influence, plus she has a bag of coke in her possession. Instead of waiting the Memorial Day holiday in a slammer, like the average joe would, she is allowed to walk free. Our courts favor the wealthy and rich. Kobe played that card with an $8 million settlement. That would probably heal any pain and suffering on the victim's behalf. Kobe's interview with the police was full of lies and half truths. You'd think a completely innocent person wouldn't be sweating bullets, and trying to worm his way out of trouble. The physical evidence indicates a rape took place as well. Vaginal tears? Blood on Kobe's shirt? Abrasions on her neck? Sounds like a blast.

Focus on the Pedro the Red Sox didn't bring back. (05-09 version)

Ballpark.

Reading that would have saved you some time.

We could score more runs if we put higher OBP guys at the top of the lineup. 1. Youk 2. Drew OR 1. Youk 2. Pedroia

Why the f*** are our two lowest OBP guys batting 1st and 2nd? I can get Lugo, because he owns Fenway, but Crisp? You can bat 9th.

How many live games has he pitched in? He's 45 years old, he is going to need some time to get ready.

A .366 OBP isn't average. It's about 35 points above average.

He's dead. http://www.wwltv.com/local/stories/wwl052807tplsu.1aa969dc.html

Wow. I totally agree. What exactly are you disproving? If you look at everyone of my 6,000 posts. I have never once complained about a player hitting into the double play that often. Why would I start here? Nice try, Ms. Cleo, but get out of the mind reading business. I love it. You claim that if you look at the stats, Jones is better, PERIOD Then in the same paragraph, you say that Drew is equal in slugging, and has a substantial edge in OBP. Funny. Derek Jeter has a gold glove, Raffy Palmerio got a gold glove for playing 28 games at 1B. They don't mean anything, and they certaintly aren't a great barometer of how well Jones is going to do from ages 31-40. Is that why J.D. Drew has the edge on Jones in just about every offensive statistical category? If he was "clutch" he'd be more consistent in the playoffs. He wouldn't totally suck ass three postseasons in a row, and then play like an Immortal two in a row. I'm not really using this as an argument. It's ridiculous to use a freaking 27 game sample size to make a conjecture about how clutch J.D Drew is. I see an edge in OBP, OPS, a tie in OPS, an edge in BA. Why would you post these? They completely go against your points. Player 1 EQA - .303 Player 2 EQA - .284 Player 1 OPS+ - 131 Player 2 OPS+ - 115 Player 1 is David Jonathan Drew. Player 2 played for the Netherlands National team.

All started by Youk.

That's because Gold Gloves, All-Star Games, Wins for pitchers, batting average, and RBI's are the true measures of performance. That + grit.

You got to be kidding me. You actually believe all of those players will stay with their clubs? You think the Twins are going to offer Santana $20 million annually? You think the Marlins are going to offer Cabrera the A-Rod like contract he's going to get? The Pirates, Bay? All of these players are going to test the free agent market. Even if they go back to their respective ball club, their price tags will go through the roof if they are courted by other teams. No.

Look at that clutch charge put into that ball. See if Dustin Pedroia will ever do that.
