    As a follow-up to my thought I'll steal a line from The Kilo. Deadspin is a winner at life.... http://deadspin.com/assets/resources/2007/02/rexshirt.jpg

    Grossman sucks harder than Elton John during Fleet Week.

    Somebody needs more discipling.

    That's explained easily. He didn't read the message in your first post. Anyone who did would know to expect to see names they didn't recognize due to the content.

    Thanks for doing what I put off until later. Schilling is no a no-brainer resign. Not because of the name, but because he'll be a value when people like Gil Meche, that's right I said Gil Meche, can earn $11M for their mediocrity.

    That was a pretty wild 5 minutes right there.

    Indy is controlling the clock and moving the ball. Sexy Rexy needs to chew some clock here or we could see the Bears D starting to get winded like what happened with the Pats.

    Beard comb-over. Brilliant.

    D-CAF! D-CAF! A pick there is better than an incompletion since they'd have to kick to Hestah.

    Hestah! Boom. Like that. Like wow.

    Sweet, thanks SFoC. All hail Cape! All hail Cape! You know, like the little dudes in the locker in MIB2.

    Scout values level more than ceiling. BA favors ceiling. I subscribe to BA, but they've only listed the Sox top-10 and Doubront isn't in it.

    The kids who lived next to my grandmother were pretty athletic. One of them became a professional tennis player (nobody recognizable), the other a golf-pro (not on tour, but he teaches at TPC Sawgrass), and the youngest just won the MVP of the International League last year. His name is Kevin Witt.

    Wow, when you dig a hole, you dig deep, don't you?

    He's got some '04 bling. That's what it has to do with them. You know, for all the s*** you guys give Lindude, you just gave him every reason to call some of you bandwagoners.

    Whether or not you like what DePo did for Los Dodgers, that doesn't mean modern statistical analysis should be ignored. You shouldn't like OBP and OPS because some crap book told you to, you should like them because they hold more value than BA. They correlate to runs scored more than BA does, thus they are better stats to use for analytical purposes. Same thing holds for pitching stats. W/L and Save compilations mean dick to analyzing pitcher performance. Wolf's 4-0 record had very little to do with how he pitched, and a whole lot to do with the good offense supporting him. Speaking of good offenses, LA was 4th in RS in the NL last year, not 2nd. Didn't really think you'd slip that one by, did you? Just so you know, LA lead the NL in BA, but slipped to 3rd in OPS (one point from 4th). In fact, 1-2-3-4 in RS finished 1-2-4-3 in OPS, but were 6-2-8-1 in BA. See how the OPS rankings line up nicely with the actual runs scored? Funny how that works.

    I think the situations are a bit different. Manny only has two years left on his contract compared to Helton's 5 + buyout. And, Boston can handle Manny's contract without being handcuffed financially. Colorado can't with Helton. So, while it may appear similar, it's not really an apples to apples comparison. Colorado's situation should definitely play a role in how they proceed, and I think Boston is just trying to wait them out. It's the right way to play it at this point, IMO.

    To further iterate the point. Wolf had 2, just 2, quality starts in 12 games pitched. As good as it gets? f***ing hilarious.

    Now who's camping out in homer central? Schmidt is better than Schilling, but that's where the advantage dies. Matsuzaka will be better than Lowe. Beckett and Penny both throw smoke, but little else. They are about the same. Papelbon is better than Billingsley, but only by a little. Wakefield is better than Wolf. Head and shoulders above? Sure, with a step ladder.

    MLB's rookie status thresholds are as follows: Position Players - 130 ABs or more than 45 days on the 25-man roster (Sept. doesn't count because it is the 40-man roster) Pitchers - 50 IP or more than 45 days on the 25-man Losing rookie status does not mean you cannot be considered a prospect by scouting agencies though. link

    F that. Nolasco, maybe. Petit, forget about it. I think Petit is going to tank hard in the bigs.
