    If they need surgery, it could be named after him.

    Just like the GM during the off season. :lol:

    Cook had a good outing today against the Nats -- 5 innings 2 hits 1 run. He's a May1st opt out. Who will get bounced from the rotation if he stays healthy and gets called up?

    The s*** died. Stop being so reactive and read the thread first. It died here: http://www.talksox.com/forum/735326-post9.html

    I agree with this.
  9. a700hitter
    ... or not use their pitching hands.

    I would agree that it was better. Lester didn't have any lost seasons in what would have otherwise been cost controlled years.

    I wouldn't count on that.

    Lester had developed into an ace in his second full season of service. His 2008 and 2009 were unbelievable bargains. Bard already has more than 2 years of service under his belt and has never been a starter. I don't think the two situations are comparable. Lester was a guy who was developed initially as a starter and even after his rough spots, there were several more seasons of cost control.

    Ha ha, U.N. remains obsessed with me! A700Hitter remains a must read, love him or hate him. VA, I apologize for the 3rd person reference, but it's not really a 3rd person reference when you think about it. A700Hitter is just an internet identity-- not who I am by a long shot. A700Hitter is whoever the reader has conjured up in his/her own minds, and none of it approaches the real person. Again, I apologize, because I know it is a pet peeve of yours.

    That's not such a big bargain. I am not big on buying out a year or two of free agency for a pitcher by overpaying for control years. We bought out Buchholz's first year of FA and overpaid for 201--a lost season for Buchholz.

    So there are two years of arb left? He'll probably be average this year. If he shoots out the lights next season, we get to keep him for 1 more yr at full FMV. To me, it is not worth the bumps in the road developing a guy unless you get a few good years out of him. That's just my opinion.

    The last time when Beckett got checked out for his peace of mind was in 2008 when he got pins and needles from sleeping on his arm. He missed three weeks and consulted doctors outside of the organization. When he came back, he was out of pitching shape. He threw two lousy games, one good game and then strained his lat, effectively ending the teams chances for back to back championships.

    BTW, I didn't call you anything. I was just giving you some life advice.
  20. a700hitter
    You have to joke about something when your #1 starter and closer are on the shelf to start the season. Ah, opening day doesn't matter.
  21. a700hitter
    Yes, and we all need life advice from you.
  22. a700hitter
    How can he have only 2.148 years of service? He came up to the majors on May 13, 2009. Arb control is really not control. He'll be getting Fair Market Value at arb. No big value there. We will not be suffering through rough spots to enjoy a below market value commodity for any period of time. Arb is designed to give market value, and then he will walk.

    From today's Boston Herald about Bailey's thumb injury:

    Wakefield probably already has a call into the FO.

    That's just toopid!
