    What if Lester is 15-10 with a 4.15 ERA and 200 innings and Buchholz is 13-7 with a 3.85 ERA over 195 innings, where would that put the team, because I would be very happy to get that production out of them?

    I am not quite sure why this is such a scandal that it is the lead story of every news show. If he made up the whole story and it put him over the top to win the Heisman, that would be a scandal. He didn't win the Heismanl, so why is this garbage front page news. If this was his doing, what did he do? He made up a girlfriend with a fictional life. Other athletes beat, abuse and sexually assault woman, girlfriends and wives, but that isn't the lead story on every news show. He made up a story that his fictional girlfriend got into a very serious car accident. Other athletes get DUI'd and DWI'd fairly regularly and some even cause fatalities, but that is never the lead story on every news show. He made up a story that his fictional girlfriend died of leukemia. A KC Chief Player killed his girlfriend and himself and that story would have fast faded from the news cycle except that Bob Costas turned it into a gun control issue. Why the heck does this stupid story have such legs?

    IMO, Chris Capuano would be a good depth option and the Dodgers have no spot for him.

    However they stack the lineup, it should be competitive. The question is whether the starting pitching will be competitive. Lackey coming off TJ and Dempster will be replacing Beckett and Bard from the start of last year. Darnell McDonald would be a huge upgrade over Bard. Beckett is a better pitcher than Lackey or Dempster. I am not seeing that the starting pitching has improved enough to be competitive. Farrell is coming in at an opportune time. The starting pitching couldn't suck more than it did last year. If they improve, he gets the credit. If not, no one can blame him. IMO, if Salty catches 110 games or more, the starters will struggle.

    If Ortiz is healthy, he has to hit in the first inning. Your best hitter should be hitting #3 everyday.

    If it was just a meniscus/cartilage scope job, he should be ready for opening day. If it was a reconstruction, that's another story.

    What is Jurjens rehabbing?
  8. a700hitter
    If he had won the Heisman and then this news came to light, I wonder if the Heisman Committee would have withdrawn the award?
  9. a700hitter
    Marcum would be an improvement and jurjens is also worth a shot.

    But by the trading deadline our team ERA probably will be at the bottom of the league if he does most of the catching.
  11. a700hitter
    And you're too stupid to realize that is a tongue in cheek joke. What a dolt.
  12. a700hitter
    Maybe we can get him back:lol: Afterall, some had him projecting as a good bottom of the rotation starter.

    Let's get something straight. You maligned not just Brooklyn, my hometown, but all NYers with an accusation of racism leveled against all NYers. I didn't malign your hometown. Yes, it is a point of pride by people from Brooklyn that we love to argue and negotiate. We talk fast, think fast and our arguments are lively and colorful. If that point of pride bothers you, too f***ing bad. If you had a point of pride from your neighborhood, my response wouldn't be to say that your city is full of racists. If you can 't see that as obnoxious and immature, it must be because you are obnoxious and immature. Edit: Fred grew up in Queens and I in Brooklyn, and we had very similar experiences, both loving where we grew up and the experiences that we had. Neither of us ever said that "it means anymore than growing up elsewhere." It's kind of messed up that it bothers you that we have fond memories and pride about our hometowns. Now go grow up.

    First of all, I am not from Bensonhurst. I am a Bay Ridge kid. Brooklyn has many neighborhoods with very distinct ethnic and cultural feels. Bensonhurst was not one of my favorites, and Bay Ridge kids were not particularly welcome there. To tar all of Brooklyn with a few incidents in Bensonhurst is utter ignorance. Brooklyn is sprawling and diverse. With a population of 2.5 million it dwarfs Boston in population and geography. I would venture to say that more great people of achievement came from Brooklyn than any other city, and brooklyn isn't even a city. I like Boston. It is one of my favorite cities. I didn't bring up the dark underbelly of past events in Boston to tar all of Boston with an undeserved reputation. But you chose to do that to Brooklyn in an unsolicited manner based on your experiences in a single neighborhood over the period of one year. That is why you are a jackass. BTW, even though I am not from Bensonhurst, every one in bensonhurst and all of Brooklyn knows that the place for pizza in Bensonhurst was L&B Spumoni Gardens, not J & V.

    The X-rays of the hip must show quite a bit of damage and arthritis for the deal to end up at $5 million from $39 million. The Sox must have said we can't offer you the original deal. Your x-rays show that you have the hip of an 80 year old grandma. Napoli must have responded with I feel fine and he started dancing to Hey Sexy Lady, and they ended up at $5 million. Your guess is as good as mine as to what we see from him this season.
  16. a700hitter
    Catching is tough enough. A bad hip would make things much worse.
  17. a700hitter
    Yep, JH should have let Theo take Cherries and the whole FO to Chicago, and they should have made a fresh start. Cherries is Theo-lite or mini-Theo or Theo Jr. He will probably turn out to be part of the problem. I am hoping that he succeeds, but he is part of the same corporate indoctrination.
  18. a700hitter
    That's right. The starting pitching is the key and it is much too thin. They need to add some quality depth. Also, the still need a lefty 1B/OF. I prefer Garrett Jones. The notion of Nava filling this role is a bad idea IMO.
  19. a700hitter
    It will be interesting to see if Cherries/Farrell will talk about how Napoli will be used, I.e. whether they plan to catch him part time.
  20. a700hitter
    It's a good deal if his hip holds out and he can do some catching. If his hip hinders him and he has to be DL'd, yes they would have limited their financial exposure, but they will not have a major league first baseman or a middle of the order hitter. If his hip holds up, we will be paying the market rate for him.
  21. a700hitter
    They are paying by the foot and he is tall.
  22. a700hitter
    Like I said you couldn't last. I'm a BayRidge boy. The Bensonhurst boys never had anything on us. They could lift a ton, but many couldn't spell it. What street did you "basically" live on in Bensonhurst?
  23. a700hitter
    Let's hope that his hip is solid.
  24. a700hitter
    You wouldn't last 10 minutes in Brooklyn, today or in any era. The stupid kids and nerds made better arguments than you. You are really a dolt.
  25. a700hitter
    I think he was suggesting that I was exhorting you at 70 years of age to kidnap UN get on a plane to Brooklyn and engage in a racially motivated physical attack on another poster.:dunno:
