    Hawk is classically bad--- in thje Phil Rizzuto mold.

    I was unfamiliar with him. It just goes to show how the fortunes of prospects can change from year to year. As fans, we want to keep our highly rated prospects, but their rankings can change so much from year to year depending on their development. The rankings mean very little. They are just snapshots of an organization and frequently organizations are completely wrong about the ceilings for their players.

    He's been very solid. He takes his turn every 5 th day and he usually keeps us in the game. Over 162 games that may be the best thing a starter can do for his team. Sure I would like to have a big stud like King Felix, but it is more important to have 4 guys like Doubs. You can't be successful if you have a couple of black holes in the rotation. That was my fear coming into the season. I feared that Lackey's spot would be one black hole and that we would have one other long term injury without any good depth options. Thankfully, we have only had the 1 inquiry, and thankfully Workman did an admirable job of filling in for 3 starts. Our other depth options were disappointing, so we have been very fortunate that we haven't had to employ more than one in any rotation cycle. Peavy will fill Buch's spot and our rotation is once again intact. Lester and Dempster will have some horrendous starts here and there, but as long as everyone takes their turn and eats innings, the pitching will be fine.

    You can't win them all. Lackey has been our best and most consistent starting pitcher this season. He has not been getting much run support lately. Doubront has been our second most consistent starter. The Astro pitcher on Monday. Is he their highest rated pitching prospect. They have a couple of promising young arms in their rotation.

    I thought that Redford was a minor league player in real life.

    If they didn't, shame on them. For a quarter of a billion dollars, you should do better due diligence.

    I am no ARod fan, but I am siding with him against MLB and the Yanks. Everyone in MLB knew what was going on with PEDs. They were complicit in the scandal, and they said nothing when the big HR years were putting fannies in the seats and increasing their profits. When the integrity of the games records took a hit a the game became a video game -type farce for hitters, they tried to close the barn door after the horse had left. The Yankees with full knowledge of ARod's shenanigans opted to re-up him to a ridiculous contract and now they are looking for any technicality to void the deal and save $100 million when he is a broken down relic. Screw them. They didn't have clean hands when they entered the deal, so they should have to make good on it.

    Yep. Trading the top offensive SS in baseball for Trout was far from "cheating". The trade that has helped my team the most was Ortiz for Cole Hamels. That has turned out to be completely one-sided. My SS position has been a bit of a black hole for my team since I traded Segura.
  9. a700hitter
    He is the most anticipated prospect since Daniel Nava. I am looking forward to seeing this kid. I think it will be sooner than later. We have problems at 3B and we don't have a legit backup SS and Drew frequently misses games with various tweaks.

    Gomes' defense has been a pleasant surprise. You don't expect to see a guy who is built like a linebacker play outfield D like he has. As for his offense, he has a track record of being a good platoon player. He hits lefties very well.

    Congrats on 10k. I remember when I hit 10k. I still had pimples.

    I think you should get TS members PBA cards.
  13. a700hitter
    It would go viral just from TS views.
  14. a700hitter
    Okay. I get it. And I forgive you for embarrassing TS with your nightly rendition of Sweet Caroline. Pete was probably too nice to tell you that you should just humm. LOL!
  15. a700hitter
    How about that game where they just kept throwing at Daubach.
  16. a700hitter
    Tampa is pissing me off.
  17. a700hitter
    Just kidding with you, you badass. It would be funny to see you and the other "badass" Dipre sing the song to eacch other at a game. That would be youtube worthy.
  18. a700hitter
    I've exercised great restraint with her lately not responding to some very nasty unprovoked attacks. Can I at least get a little tweak in?
  19. a700hitter
    Okay, so you did the whole Red Sox experience. You were on a Red Sox high. In the future, please take Pete's advice and act like a man. LOL!!!
  20. a700hitter
    So you are a girlie man too.
  21. a700hitter
    Speaking for the other part. G'night!

    I like RSFFL. That doesn't mean that I have to kiss his ass and lie. I hate that song.
  24. a700hitter
    How is Koji able to throw the FB by batters consistently up in the zone with only 89 mph?
  25. a700hitter
    Such a girlie man. You turn my guts to stew. Please tell me that you and Spud didn't sing it to each other.
