He started to get regular playing time in 2006, and he responded with an OPS in the .900's. He was our third best hitter until he hurt his wrist. There was no major difference between Pena and Crisp in CF, last year. FRAA Pena +0 Crisp +1 Pena also had a fairly good 2004 year in center as well. (+10 FRAA) I'm pretty confident that Pena would play a decent CF. Even if Crisp is better than him in the field, Pena's bat far outweighs the possible benefits of Crisp's glove. In RF, yes. In CF, not so much.

David Ortiz is in the hole, and they sent JD Drew?

Anyone see Chad Ford's mock draft? Despite calling Joakim Noah a risk as a lottery pick, he places him in the top three. If the Celtics draft Noah, I will never watch another basketball game.

This is the most incoherent thing I have ever read. Space that out a bit, then I will respond.

Wily Mo Pena's power is real. The fact that he was hitless in 7 AB's is totally irrelevant.

No, he doesn't. If Drew goes for that one, Smith is on 3rd base.

Two at-bats? Seriously, two freaking at-bats? Did you really use two-freaking at-bats? No, you didn't. No one is that st...... WHAT THE f*** ??? TWO FREAKING AT-BATS???? I'd show you that Eric Byrnes is a terrible hitter against RHP, but what's the point. f*** you. Seriously. How is Eric Byrnes' grit going to help the Red Sox going to score runs? David Eckstein is gritty, but he is an average SS. John Mabry eats dirt, but he is a terrible ball player. How is Byrnes' CLUTCH TUFF N GRIT going to help the Red Sox score runs? He's average at best, at these things. Hit 500 foot laser beams, like the one five minutes ago. Do you have any idea how absurd it is to use sample sizes, that small? http://www.baseball-reference.com/r/ramirma02.shtml This guy is batting .200 http://www.baseball-reference.com/s/soriaal01.shtml This guy is hitting .250 http://www.baseball-reference.com/p/pujolal01.shtml This guy is under .180 f*** you, and your small sample sizes.

Gatman!

Byrnes is a platoon player, nothing more. I don't know why you would surrender Pena, or Crisp PLUS the prospect. OPS+ (2006) Byrnes - 95 Pena - 112 EQA (2006) Byrnes - .268 Pena - . 299 OPS vs RHP Byrnes - .701 Pena - .946 (probably a fluke, career is .813)

Wankees? Seriously? Wankees? Is your humor really as bad as your IQ?

Lightning up 2-1, over the Devils. Is New Jersey the worst #2 seed in history, or is it just me?

This is the worst point, ever. Everyone has known the Wily Mo Pena is undisciplined, do you think they just found that out? Or are you really that stupid? Also, IT'S BEEN 7 f***ING AT-BATS

2 strikeouts.

f*** you, Kilo. I almost got fired for laughing so hard.

Why was he on the DL?

Why? Podsednik minor and major league numbers: .265/.344/.347/.691 (minor) .275/.342/.378/.720 (major) Jacoby Ellsbury .306/.391/.427/.818

I think you're thinking of Catalanotto, who took Schilling deep eariler in the year. Johnson hit .300 against the Red Sox in '06, but he didn't really do any serious damage.

.393/.433/.607/1.040 6 2B, 2 SB, 2 BB, 2 K's

He'll be 34 at the end of the season, and he's had two consecutive OK years. (OK, for Ichiro) 2005 OPS+ - 109 2006 OPS+ - 109 2005 EQA - .294 2006 EQA - .297 (accounts for stolen bases) I don't think he's worth Drew's contract, but I'd go 3 X 11.

I agree. He's a Hall of Famer. He's better than both Drysdale and Catfish, and they're in.
