    Get a life lol jk Damn I tip my cap to you sir, I've been bested, love to come back and argue that, but no way i'm spending that much time looking that up.

    Haren hasn't started a full season, Meyer hasn't pitched ONE big league pitch, Blanton is young, and Zito totally collapsed last year, that isn't a good rotation. Hatterberg's 37, Crosby batted .244, Ellis? Swisher? You compare AAA baseball to MLB baseball. Curt Schilling is harder to hit then Felix Hernadez is

    The way your pimping moneyball I'd expect superstars Bellhorn is okay Mueller I stated Mantei hasn't done anything yet Miller was a damn good pickup which I forget (why didn't your boy Billy Beane pick him up) Millar I stated Arroyo was a nice pickups as well

    Call it a friendly bet, 5-10$ sound good?

    5 first round picks for Boston this year

    Good Post yezsir Oh and for the Red Sox finding "low cost" players or unwanted players Other than Millar and Mueller we haven't done to much of that. Moneyball teams often don't have elite closers they prefer to sell the closers like stocks. The Red Sox went out and got Foulke at 9 million per. Walks mean nothing if you can't score them, if Juan Pierre has a high OBP that would be a good thing cause he can score, but if your boy Billy Beane's players get on base, chances are they aren't going to give you a scare on the base paths

    The Mets swapped Appier for Vaughn. Appier had a one year contract for the 2002 season, which was 9 million the Mets took on 41 million for Vaughn. Which by the way is more than the three players your mentioted before, A LOT MORE Cone- 1 million Seaver- probably 500,000 Saberhagen- I can't find him, but his arbitration figure in 01 was about 3 million so he 3 year deal might be around 8 million max So Mets 41 million just to Vaughn Red Sox 9 million to 3 players (who didn't have horrible years)

    The Boston Red Sox are not a moneyball team, they may appear like it, but they sent 3 runners in one game in the ALCS and sent another 2 in game 5. Damon also attempted a bunt, Hell they even sent Ortiz. This is not a moneyball team.
  11. CrespoBlows
    Are you the dumbest person in the planet? So giving him a huge contract they signed him to isn't? Vaughn is owed $15 million for 2004, the final year of an $80 million contract he signed in 1999. The Mets have a $14 million option with a $2 million buyout in 2005

    Honestly guys, how many of you would be satisfied if we had a A's type run? I would rather see my team win it all then finish one and done. That's all Beane has ever done, and that's all he'll ever do
  13. CrespoBlows
    Moneyball hasn't been able to go over the hump at all during the playoffs, if the A's had Dave Roberts, they wouldn't send him to steal. It's also why the Braves never won a lot even though they got to the playoffs. Waiting for a 3 HR doesn't work as well in the playoffs as it would in the regular season. Also has anyone noticed that the A's can never beat the Red Sox or Yankees?
  14. CrespoBlows
    You believe Beane's core of players are better than the Rangers core of players? The Angels? The A's are going to finish dead last this year in the AL West, Haren hasn't pitched a whole lot, Meyer hasn't thrown a single big league pitch. That catching prospect they got was good, but what ever happened to Billy Beane's "steal" Jeremy Brown? They won't win the AL West for the next 3 years, the Angels will definaltly be on top of them.
  15. CrespoBlows
    That now gives us 5 first round picks
  16. CrespoBlows
    WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT The Marlins and Angels are the exact OPPOSITE of the A's. There scrappy players, who play for the sac bunt, sac fly. The Angels lead the league in sac bunts in 2002 when they won. Answer these ? Did the A's make the playoffs last year? Are the Blue Jays powerhouses now? Paul Podesta is a good GM too right?
  17. CrespoBlows
    Billy Beane's famous "moneyball" draft is working really well for them isn't it? Don't give me that ******** about Swisher, because the Mets were going to take him before, had the Brewers taked Kazmir (they ultimately took Fielder) Scouts were actually quite high on Swisher Beane's best postion player is a HS 3B named Eric Chavez The rest of the moneyball draft is fringe prospects status at best (besides Blanton he's okay)
  18. CrespoBlows
    Actually I do, prove to me a moneyball team that has actually won it all
  19. CrespoBlows
    If Juan Pierre gets 6-7 million he just shot up the value of any player who hits about .300, and hits more HR than he does
  20. CrespoBlows
    Bench players don't make 3 million, they make about 300,000 to 1.5 million When are you stat hounds going to learn that Moneyball doesn't work?
  21. CrespoBlows
    Jesus Christ what is it with you and f***ing made up stat s***. No agent used that, no one would dare use that. Pierre is a leadoff hitter who, if lucky will hit 3 HR. If Pierre gets 6 million Damon would want 10 million, because he hit 20 HR out of the leadoff spot. Leadoff hitters don't make no where near 6 million. Pierre will probably get 3-4 million dollars, Damon probably 8-10.
  22. CrespoBlows
    Pierre will come much, much cheaper than Damon
  23. CrespoBlows
    I think Steinbrenner's had enough spending for a year, I believe Cashman convinced this team came 3 outs away from a sweep w/o the Big Unit, Pavano, or Wright. It also sets the door open for the Yanks to go get Juan Pierre next year, though I hope we get him
  24. CrespoBlows
    Coney wasn't signed to a long deal, and wasn't expected to that much his stats in 2000 Red Sox 9-7, 4.31 25 G, 135 IP, 115 K He played one year and made only 1 million dollars The next year the Mets picked him up?!!! So much for the Sox signing players to decline Saberhagen He had a good year in 1998 going 15-8 with an ERA of 4 and had a terrfic 1999 going 10-6 with a 2.95 He sat out 2000 He only pitched 15 innings in 2001, also he wasn't expensive Tom Seaver pitched only one year and had a 3.80 ERA HOW IS THAT BAD?!! Your players you named made no sense, seeing they were low risk signings. The Mets made the Mo Vaughn a rich man and he did worse than all 3 of these players
  25. CrespoBlows
    Hey, I guess Nolan is overrated! 200 BB in a season!!! Holy f***ing s***.
