  1. Under what I think is the proper criteria, its very very rare to call a pitcher an ace over his entire career and im not about to dive into history to find true aces but Schilling in '04 was an ace and Beckett in '07 was definitely an ace.
  2. Just substitute Jeff Suppan for Jeff Weaver. Nice.
  3. I'm not gonna be trapped into anything here. Beckett's done it in the regular season and postseason. Sabathia has done it in the regular season and s*** the bed in the postseason. That's my criteria.
  4. my god the brown is annoying though
  5. I acknowledge that CC has been better in the regular season.
  6. I don't give a s*** about sample sizes. I wanna see him prove he can pitch effectively in the playoffs before I call him an ace. If you guys wanna whore out the "ace" label, by all means but my standards are a little higher. And don't give me some stupid argument like "well Jeff Suppan in 2006 was lightz outtttttt in the playoffs so I guess he's an ace" cause obviously you need the regular season numbers too
  7. He's got a 3.97 career postseason ERA including a 1.35 ERA in 20 postseason IP since 2004? He's 1-3 cause he plays for Twins. What the f*** is your point?
  8. By the way, I'm not even necessarily debating whether he's a good postseason pitcher or not cause I totally get the small sample size argument but I'm debating his merits to being labeled an ace. Like I said, I believe an ace needs to carry an impressive postseason resume and Sabathia most certainly does not
  9. I just find it funny how he doesn't allow more than 4 earned runs in any start he makes in his career as a Brewer.....until he gets to October
  10. so let me get this straight... the fact that he pitches 241 innings in 2007 is the reason he goes right into the tank for the next 15 innings? and the fact that he pitches 253 innings in 2008 is the reason he sucked for the next 3 innings? if he can be so good for 253 innings, why can't he be good for 256 innings? don't tell me it all has to do with the fact that he pitched a lot of innings and nothing to do with the fact that it's he playoffs cause I find it hard to believe that his arm reaches his threshold on the last day of the regular season every year
  11. fine, whats the excuse for 2007 then?
  12. Bottom line, if im paying a guy $160 mil, I wanna know that he nuts up in October when it counts rather than shits the bed like CC did
  13. I've gotta say, I was wrong about Michael Ryder. It looks like the fresh start has done him some good and he's found his scoring touch.
  14. I still think a pitcher has to have a solid playoff track record to go along with top-of-the-rotation numbers to really be considered an ace.
  15. well then Rotoworld.com would be your place
  16. for future reference, BostonDirtDogs.com has a sidebar that shows every Rotoworld article that contains the words "Red Sox"
  17. If Towers absolutely had to move Peavy, he'd be a Cub right now. Towers can wait until the season starts and the injury report starts to fill up
  18. There's Brown and Kottaras who will probably end up being mediocre MLers if they do make it at all. The only catcher we have who is considered a prospect is Exposito who's still in Single A
  19. No way Theo would give up what it would take to get Peavy, nor should he
  20. I love this line: They're poised to spend at least $300 mil this off-season and they're thinking of clearing like $5 mil
  21. Stop making up lies to support your stupid arguments. Ramirez has already replaced Timlin This remains a team that won 95 games last year with major injuries to Drew, Lowell and Ortiz along with an off-year by Beckett, REGARDLESS OF WHAT THE f***ING YANKEES HAVE DONE IN DECEMBER
