    RIP. One of the giants of the game and by all accounts he was one of the good guys.
  2. a700hitter
    It's hard to make the argument that a player is the best of all time when he didn't even dominate his own era. Was there anyone in the discussion with Unitas in the late 1950's and early 1960s or Otto Graham in the early 50s? No. End of story about greatest ever. He's behind those 2 guys right off the bat.
  3. a700hitter
    I wonder if the author ever saw Unitas in the 1950's. Brady has one problem to overcome before he can make a credible claim to the title of greatest ever. He can't beat Eli. It's kind of like Wilt the Stilt with Russell.

    IMO, getting another starter would leapfrog us over a bunch of teams.
  5. a700hitter
    What is scary is that 15th or 16th would be a big improvement over last season when 23 teams had better records.

    IMO, in no particular order: Yankees Rays Toronto Angels Rangers A's Tigers Nats Phillies Braves Giants Dodgers Cards Reds Orioles That's 15

    Just because he's likely to make less of a fuss than Lackey. It's very possible That Lackey needs to stay in Florida when camp breaks.
  9. a700hitter
    He was an entertaining character. RIP

    Nats are pretty darn strong. Angels are stacked with talent on both sides of the ball. Our roster is bottom half.
  11. a700hitter
    I don't think we can compete with the Rangers, and I still like the A's pitching better than ours.

    You guarantee Marcum a spot and use Doubs as a long man. Before the middle of May, Doubs will be getting starts, because someone will be injured or s***ing himself.
  13. a700hitter
    People pay too much attention to the offense because it is "sexy".
  14. a700hitter
    The offense will be just fine if Ortiz has 2 sound legs.
  15. a700hitter
    The West Division is much stronger. We'd get our clocks cleaned in that Division. It would be really ugly.
  16. a700hitter
    We don't know what Barnes will be. Let's wait to see if he can dominate AA before we start penciling him into the ML rotation. We have a thin rotation as it is. We don't have an ace. An injury to our staff would be more crippling than an injury to a team that has a couple of studs at the top of the rotation. I differ with your conclusion. I think that in addition to the the Rays, the Jays now have better depth. The Yankees always have better depth. The O's staff is unspectacular, but they a bunch of guys who can step in and take starts and give some decent innings at the ML level. We are thin. The pitching problem has never been addressed adequately in two off seasons. If Salty is our primary catcher, I see little hope of a marked improvement.
  17. a700hitter
    I have given up hope of getting Jones. This guy is a tremendous value. We pay Salty the same amount and he sucks in comparison. This guy is every bit as tall as Salty too.
  18. a700hitter
    It's probably a safe bet that 1 of the pitchers misses significant time. That would be an improvement over recent years. When a guy goes down, we don't have ML ready depth to stp in and take a start every 5 days. Morales is not the guy. He is a stop gap spot starter. The guy has never tossed 100 innings in a season. He's not up to taking a regular turn.
  19. a700hitter
    And he wasn't exactly Adam Wainright before the surgery.
  20. a700hitter
    A move like that would catapult them into contention IMO.
  21. a700hitter
    I didn't think you were arguing. I was just wondering what you thought of their chances if they had seasons like the ones I posted.
  22. a700hitter
    Maybe it is just a way to liven up a slow news day.
  23. a700hitter
    This year's off season thread was created on August 20 by SFF, one of TalkSox's most positive and optimistic posters. Realistically, our season was over 2 weeks prior to the thread.
  24. a700hitter
    Hopefully, our offseasons doesn't start in August like it did last year. The problem with sucking as bad as we did last season is that our hot stove started in August. It's a looong time to March from August.
  25. a700hitter
    So, under the scenario that I pose, they don't have a chance to get to the post season?
