  1. LaRoche would definitely be worth keeping around considering there's another year of Lowell
  2. if it isnt Kotsay, it would be Baldelli so it has to be Kotsay
  3. maybe a mod should clarify in the title that A. LaRoche means Adam and not Andy
  4. judging from what I've heard about Diaz, he sounds Gil Velasquez-ish
  5. im not an expert on this subject but what kind of draft picks would LaRoche net in return if he left after the season?
  6. S-U-C-C-E-S-S, thats the way you spell success!
  7. LaRoche's career OPS in the second-half is .901....good sign
  8. many Pirates were outspoken about how pissed off they are at management for the deals they've done lately so maybe LaRoche made it clear to their FO that he was gone at the end of the year no matter what so the Pirates settled for less than expected value
  9. lol, they played together for half a season...
  10. its probably like cutting a tree in half and counting the rings in the trunk to see how old it is. just cut the latino prospect in half and youll get your answer
  11. thats the last time I eat breakfast while I read this site
  12. Contreras looks like he's Danny Glover, of course he's older
  13. Besides that Cuban kid, how many Latin prospects can you name anyway?
  14. FTR, I think its a phantom injury. I called for this move when Smoltz came back to keep Wakefield healthy for the stretch run. I doubt this would've been done had Buch been lit up on Friday.
  15. could be, I just remember Duke Nukem saying that lineup....same as last night Ellsbury - CF Pedroia - 2B Youkilis - 1B Ortiz - DH Bay - LF Drew - RF Lowell - 3B Varitek - C Lowrie - SS Beckett - SP
  16. he's been allowed to go over 100 pitches in 8 of 18 starts this season and there are 6 starts that I saw where he was pitching well and had a reasonable-enough pitch count that he gone have gone at least 7 innings were the organization not (and rightfully so) pulling back on the leash a little bit but who knows, maybe the fact that they've held him back earlier in the season could make for a stronger than usual second half from him
  17. I'm not gonna get into a Dice-K vs. Penny debate but I will argue that Penny's ERA is misleading when you consider he's allowed 3 ER or less in 13 of 18 starts. How much more would you ask from your 4th starter? No, I'm gonna go ahead and not condemn a guy for s***ing the bed when he hasn't yet just so I can have the satisfaction of saying "I told you so" three months from now.
  18. I'll assume he meant state of Detroit in the same sense as "state of the nation" meaning state as a synonym for status
  19. Don't bring Smoltz into the discussion, I'm not defending him. I'm talking about Brad Penny. Thx. It's amazing that you defend Dice-K's 2008 season but bash Penny cause only 10 of his 18 starts have gone at least six innings. And I've it with everyone and they're f***ing "he's due for a regression" doomsday s***. People said the same thing about Lowell in 2007 and Youkilis in 2008. JUDGE HIM BASED ON WHAT HE'S DONE, NOT WHAT YOU'RE SCARED HE MIGHT DO.
  20. a major-league pitcher who came to town for $5 million doesn't ever come without concern but what Penny has meant up to this point has absolutely justified the contract
  21. oh really? so there's factual proof that "there'd be no race" if Tex was a Red Sox? The Yankees would have done NOTHING to counteract the move? youre better than this, Kilo
  22. considering the contracts, what exactly were you expecting from Baldelli, Saito and Penny? if you were expecting these guys to equal the impact of Teixeira, not sure a debate can happen here
  23. 1. Since when does something a moron like Alex Rodriguez says mean anything substantial, especially when he's pumping up a teammate? 2. On what planet does Jason Bay get a contract anywhere near what Teixeira got, even from the Yankees?
