    No, because the PTBNL will probably be traded at the end of the season.
  2. CrespoBlows
    I don't get it. Why is Drew in CF, and Ellsbury in RF?
  3. CrespoBlows
    Dunn bats lefty.

    Ellsbury is going to turn his season around.

    Do you have to re-read your own quote? "understands that the farm system is there to support the major league team, not the other way around." The other way around would be that the major league team would be there to support the farm system. Is that what you're accusing Cashman of doing? Again, stunningly stupid.

    No, I think Jackson tends to overrate Yankee prospects, but he wants to create a foundation of young talent like the late 90's Yankees. You keep making fun of him for liking Phil Hughes. Question for everyone, who didn't? Gom, you don't count, because you don't pay attention to MiLB. You probably have no idea who the f*** Phil Hughes was before he debuted. Hughes' career MiLB ERA is a 2.02, and he was dominating the high minors as a 20 year old. The book on this kid isn't closed.

    Yeah, and it was stunningly stupid. Cashman - "LOL TRAIT AROD 4 PROSPECTS, BECUZ ACCORDiNG TO GOM WE EXIST TO AUGMENT THE MINORZ LOL!!!" Do you really believe that Brian Cashman runs the team this way, because that's what you said.

    In August, they have gone 6-3 while outscoring the opposition 2:1. If the season ended now, the Red Sox would be the WC winners.
  10. CrespoBlows
    What?
  11. CrespoBlows
    Not to say that the Red Sox should get no hit by "Denks," but he's got a 3.08 ERA in the AL. He's a good pitcher.
  12. CrespoBlows
    Gom, since we should trade all prospects for veterans. Santana FOR Jon Lester, Jacoby Ellsbury, Justin Masterson, Jed Lowrie, and Ryan Kalish?
  13. CrespoBlows
    I'm willing to bet if Johan Santana was playing in the AL East, that statement wouldn't be crazy. BTW, show me where I agreed with it. I think it's an odd stat, and I'll send BP an e-mail to see what their explanation is.

    If anyone did not get an invite, you can PM me. I am working with Yankshater to create a league. I am thinking of a small $20 entry fee, and at least twelve members. PM if you are interested.

    Dude.... When Bob Welch won 27 games, his ERA was under 3.00. Just saying.
  16. CrespoBlows
    lol Youkilis, Ellsbury, and Buchholz is still Santana plays in the s*** NL. His strikeouts are way down, his WHIP is way up. Throw in a move to the powerful AL East. Is that Johan Santana worth Jacoby Ellsbury, Jon Lester, Justin Masterson, Jed Lowrie, and Ryan Kalish? That was the deal the Red Sox, according to Will Carroll, was all but done. To be fair, I added WARP3. Right now, Santana has a 5.3 WARP compared to Ellsbury's 4.1.

    Not only is there doubt, but you're 100% wrong. I operate in a world of reality. In this world, there are things called budgets, and luxury taxes. Unlike the Yankees, the Red Sox operate on a budget. They aren't a poor team by any means, but to think they can just brush gigantic mistakes under the rug is wrong. What the f***? Again, really? No, I see that the Red Sox spend $150 million dollars. They spent $51 million just to talk to a pitcher. They spent $14 million on J.D. Drew. They spent another $9 million on Julio Lugo. This team goes after big players. So, when they think they're better off keeping two top twenty prospects, Justin Masterson, and Jed Lowrie and trying them out, I'm not going to bitch. Besides, for the sake of your comparision, why don't you throw Jon Lester on the other side, considering the Twins weren't getting Buchholz.
  18. CrespoBlows
    The stats overwhelmingly favor Youkilis/Ellsbury/Buchholz WARP3 Ellsbury - 7.1 Youkilis - 8.6 Buchholz - .3 Helton - 3.7 Santana - 6.8 (Not surprising, considering he's dominating a very weak NL)
  19. CrespoBlows
    Then quit being stupid, and saying that 99.9% of veteran for prospects deal turns out great. What the f***? Are you serious? Helton and Santana will make a combined $37 million next year. Youkilis will make about $3 million, and Ellsbury and Buchholz will make the minimum. Wait, watch what I can do. I saved $34 million not going after Helton and Santana. I can sign C.C. Sabathia! And still have saved $16 million. Plus, I still can pencil in Ellsbury, who should win the gold glove in CF, and send Buchholz to AAA to work on his fastball command. Buchholz should not be written off, that's f***ing stupid. The same thing with Phil Hughes. When judging a deal that has young players, you should be more prudent. Phil Hughes hasn't proved he's done. He was probably pitching with an injury. I will give you Ian Kennedy. He sucks.

    Love to be in. I started 0-4, and was one game away from the playoffs.
  22. CrespoBlows
    Like Tim Wakefield?
  23. CrespoBlows
    A solo home run isn't exactly s***ing the bed.
  24. CrespoBlows
    Chip Carey on Manny Ramirez - "Don't you mean by doing more, doing less? This team has shown this inning that they play more small ball, and don't rely on the two or three run home run." Mike Lowell had just hit a three run home run to take the lead.

    Charlie Zink?
