    Yep. People who think there are cheap value pitching options are just kidding themselves. The best pitching value in baseball is Gio Gonzalez who extended with the Nats for 5 years for about $40 million. That was a huge swing and a miss by Cherries.

    So far we have seen Buehlre, Josh Johnson, Guthrie and Kuroda get traded or signed. If we don't get a pitcher at the end, I am sure that we will hear excuses like none were available or they were too pricey and so on and so on.

    Good move by the Yankees.

    I think you are making some good points. There may not be many if any value options left at the end. If there are some, but they are not pitchers, that will not help this team.

    86 and 03 were crushing emotionally because hope got so high and we came so close to the Holy Grail. N evertheless, those seasons had a lot of good baseball and excitement. Last year was just a huge downer from beginning to end, and it had zero good baseball. While I would not use the term "scarred", it was the worst season I had seen in 46 years, and it resulted in something that I did not think I would experience. It ruined my enjoyment of baseball for an entire summer. The season was that horrible.

    Our late inning and close bullpen was at the bottom of the league.

    Isn't Gibbons the guy who used to tell combat stories about his time and Vietnam, and then it was uncovered that he never served in Vietnam?
  8. a700hitter
    Unnecessary.
  9. a700hitter
    I agree with you, and it does matter.

    Iglesisas has little trade value except as a component in a package with bigger talent.

    It is ridiculous to say that Trout had the better season because his OBP was 6 points higher than Miggy's when Miggy's Slugging, OPS and HRs were better by bigger margins. Also, no one has mentioned how these players came down the stretch. Miggy's second half was better than Trout's on every count. In August and September when the games are most important, Miggy's performance far outstripped Trout's. MVP's are won by great players who perform best when it matters most, not in May and June, and it certainly isn't decided by 6 points in OBP. I'll bet if you canvassed AL pitchers about who they fear more, the vote would be equally as lopsided.

    Mods, how many years of trolling does J_E get on this forum? Ninety-nine percent of his sports posts are just trolling slams at individual board members or the collective board. Get rid of this guy. Enough is enough.

    Then explain what I said.

    God, what a Hot Stove grouch.:thumbdown

    I don't know if Hamilton will be pursued by the Sox, but I'd rather get Stanton in a trade. He'd cost a bundle in prospects, but he's the type of guy who is really worth it. I still maintain that the number 1 priority should be pitching. That is what they need to get the team headed in the right direction.

    You've been the one in my face this past week about things I haven't proposed or posted. You have been disagreeing with some phantom a700 the past week.
  17. a700hitter
    I'm willing to settle for respectable. Last place and less than 70 wins is a low bar for next year. I don't think hoping for a .500 team that doesn't embarrass itself is a very high or unreasonable expectation. Some meaningful games after August 1st is not an entitlement mentality.

    People can criticize him all that they want. That makes no difference to me. I just don't like to be accused of dispensing the criticism when I am not. That being said no activity is no activity. Telling me that they are really busy in the background is meaningless. I'll save my criticism/praise for the actual activity or when inactivity reaches a point where he has missed most of the good opportunities. That would be around February 1st.

    Are we supposed to give him credit for working the phones? I don't think so. His worth will be proved by the moves he makes. I have worked with many people who are a whirlwind of activity and work very long hours who get outproduced by others in a fraction of the time without breaking a sweat. If you want us to acknowledge that Cherries is trying hard, I'll give you that, but it is meaningless.

    You obviously didn't read what I posted or you are incapable of understanding.

    If Batting average and RBI are such worthless stats, I think someone would have accomplished the feat in the last 45 years. You'd also think that some one would have done it who wasn't a Hall of Fame player. Miggy is the best offensive player in baseball right now. The so-called worthless stats do not prove his greatness. They are a result of his greatness.

    Their rotation lines up wirh Johnson, Morrow, Buehrle, Romero and Drabeck. Don't they also have McGowan and some others. Maybe they will be swapping some of those guys?

    Your filter has been coloring everything wrong for 7 years. i changed my avatar to the friendliest dog that ever lived. Cats smiled when they saw her. I had hoped that it would put you in a better frame of mind when you read my posts. I thought that Clint Eastwood might be too confrontational for you to handle, but yet you still read things that aren't there in ways I never intended and you argue with me even after I tell you what I meant. Hopeless. Seven years and you still can't figure me out.

    What is with you? I'll say it for about the 5th time today. I said it yesterday too. A new SS didn't even make the top 4 on my wish list for the Red Sox this off season. What makes you think I wanted them to after Reyes? Nothing has changed since yesterday, but you are still looking to argue about things I never said and don't believe. Talk about pathetic.
  25. a700hitter
    What poster is upset about the Red Sox not getting Melky. Again, your warped filter is at work again.
