    He's a big stiff. Edit: There aren't too many compelling personalities on this team. maybe thaey should get Pedro to shoot a commercial before camp ends.
  2. a700hitter
    Thanks SFoC!
  3. a700hitter
    Iglesias with a throwing error on his first chance.
  4. a700hitter
    Saturday the 16th is good for me or any weeknight from the 18th on.

    John Farrell commercials is worse than bad. It is just boring. I don't think that commercial will motivate a single fan to buy a ticket.

    Why are the Spring Training games starting so early this year? Is it because of the WBC? I don't remember ST games ever starting in February.
  7. a700hitter
    Terrible fundamentals by Iglesias. The play was right in front of him.
  8. a700hitter
    I don't see how the bullpen has any opening for him.
  9. a700hitter
    I have registered my team and made payment, but Sunday, March 17th is not good for me.
  10. a700hitter
    He did a Dice K-- loaded the bases with no one out. He got out of the inning giving up one run.
  11. a700hitter
    2 1/2 innings and Salty has k'd, dropped a popup and threw a ball into the OF. Same Ole Salty.
  12. a700hitter
    Salty still blows.
  13. a700hitter
    I am looking forward to these spring games. I don't expect there will be much excitement during the season.
  14. a700hitter
    I'll take that as RSFFL is gaining wisdom.
  15. a700hitter
    Lars Anderson got DFA'd again. What a bust!

    He didn't just fail. He blew up so thoroughly that he couldn't get anyone out at AAA for 2 1/2 months relief outings. His ERA was over 7. To give some historical perspective, I read that Bard's final start with the Sox was so bad that no starter in MLB history had had such a terrible start since the 1910's. This was not just an historic bad start for a Red Sox pitcher.
  17. a700hitter
    He has me on ignore but potshots me like a coward. BTW, I said that he would get at a minimum a 6yr/$150 million deal barring injury or a steroid ban.
  18. a700hitter
    Thanks, SFF!
  19. a700hitter
    Two-thirds strikes is a good sign. Velocity-wise, we'll have to see if he can pump 97-98 bu the end of camp. 94 for the first day out is fine.
  20. a700hitter
    The only thing standing in Cano's way to a contract in excess of Josh Hamilton would be if he got suspended for PEDs. Other than that or injury, he wil get at least $150 million.
  21. a700hitter
    Overbay has an opt out if he is not on the opening day roster. If Carp has no options, couldn't we have just waited and claimed him off waivers?
  22. a700hitter
    Does Carp have any options? Is he better or worse than Wily Mo in the OF?
  23. a700hitter
    Cano should be able to get $25 million a year for 5 or 6 years.
  24. a700hitter
    It would be like buying a penny stock and characterizing it as low risk/ high reward, because if it hits there will be a lot of upward leverage. If your investment guy recommends something like this, fire him immediately. Carp was cheap because he is not very good. He's a long shot to be a good major league ballplayer. Therefore, he is a high risk acquisition. If he performs at or above the major league level, the return will be high, because his cost was low. He is a high risk/high reward acquisition. It is because he is high risk that he is cheap. It is because he is cheap that he would yield a high reward in the unlikely event that he performs at or above MLB levels.

    I admitted to being mislead by the team stats. I posted the link so that you could see that the stat sheet was misleading. I was not posting it to mislead. Pena and Robinson aside, there are still 8 other players that OPSed at .846 or above on that team. It's not at all misleading to say that they must have been in a hitters league. As far as Carp being better than Overbay, he has more power, but other than that, Carp is not very good at all. Matt Stairs was like Stan Musial compared to Carp.
