  1. There's a difference between optimistic which ould be "I hope Loretta hits .300 because I think he's proven he can" and setting yourself up for a fall "I know Loretta is gonna hit .300 because he's always been a .300 hitter so he'll definetely hit .300 again" And if Damon gets hurt, I won't be surprised. He's a Yankee FA, I've learned to expect injuries from our big signings.
  2. What if he struggles? or has an injury of some sort? There werent too many people happy with manny when he had his slow start, and he's probably the best righty hitter in baseball.
  3. I guess the drug policy got tighter
  4. The team essentially quit on Showalter. How can you say Torre doesn't get the credit for getting the team to play together for a championship the year after they revolted against Showalter? My guess is you're trying to say Torre is the MLB equivalent of Phil Jackson, which might be true enough. However, how many championships did Jordan win before Phil Jackson? How many championships did Shaq and Kobe win before Phil Jackson? Yes it has to do with the players (doesn't every team in sports????), but the manager who gets them to reach their potential is doing exactly what his job is, putting players in a position to succeed based on their strengths
  5. Torre is a good field manager as long as he has someone to counter his natural lack of aggression. Without Zim's aggressiveness as the bench coach, Torre has gotten staid wit the offense and isn't attacking as often as he hsould be. Case in point, Game 6. If Zim was on the bench with Torre, I can guarantee we woulda seen at least 3 bunts in the first 3 innings just to test that ankle.
  6. IMO, I think some of you guys are setting yourselves up to start hating Loretta the minute he goes through a period of adjustment. I'm not trying to say he's a bad player, just that your expectations of him are setting yourselves up for a "Loretta sucks" thread or some equivalent of it in April.
  7. No ORS, I dont take shots at people. I'm simply agreeing with SFoC about the human factor. I think that with all the formulas out there (WARP is cool though), people tend to sometimes forget the human factors, and then go crazy with all the mathematical projections.
  8. Wow a pragmatic post. Didnt think I'd see one in this thread I for one agree completely with your points. Too many people rely on fancy formulas lately
  9. It was lighthearted banter making fun of Kevin's last name. So basically what you're saying is "he started it" and you're mad because he derided your opinion. Kevin already has 300+ ABs, if he has 400 this year, it will add up to over 600 ABs, and we can use that as a good sampling of his OBP in the majors.
  10. That sounds more like his opinion. Kevin Useless was an OBP machine in the minors, and is .376 in the majors in 300+ ABs, so I don't necessarily agree with Rivernator. however until Kevin actually attains .390 OBP in the majors for 600 ABs, I can't see why Riv shoiuld get ripped for saying that
  11. no bro, I was asking him to change it because his avatar confused the heck out of me in my half awake state last night
  12. Can we do an official one with money/prizes? I would love to get in on something like this where we gotta pay for transactions and stuff
  13. dude can you serisouly change your avatar? I was on this board lkast night and very sleepy and I saw your avatar and for the life of me all i could ask myself was "when did Manny become a basketball player??"
  14. "that being said" "in all likelihood" "it probably is true"
  15. cough cough, I believe he said best alla round OFFENSIVE 2B
  16. oh in that case, please tell them to stop being morons about it. It's obviously just another case of over-involved parenting. you can quote me on this: "stp acting like prissies aobut something so stupid"
  17. Exactly, I mean really what the hell does an 8 year old know about the Yankees? Why would he hate the Yankees? They probably can't remember the last time the Yankees won a championship, meanwhile their team just won one last year. So where does that anomisity come from? I think this is more about the parents than the kids IMO
  18. Which fans are acting like its terrible? 26 to 6 mentioned the article, and pinstripe pride thought it was petty. I didn't see the word "terrible" anywhere
  19. What you guys dont get is that he LOST his case. This is the number that the club offered.
  20. FYI he went .310+ in only one season during his time with the Sox
  21. wow, i guess is what happens when Yankee fans dont go mucking into these preidction threads.
  22. Well it should be easy to tell early on if they're cut out for the Boston media market where the scrutiny is much higher than Florida or SD
  23. he batted .381 with a 1.040 OPS in September after putting up a ghastly .207 BA and .513 OPS in August. I'd say he was able to make some adjustments.
  24. interesting analysis.
  25. wat site are you getting this from? It actually sounds interesting
