They still need a RH bat in the OF. They can't have 4 left handed OFers.
-
Quentin? I don't want him. Cuddyer? It doesn't seem like we are in the running for him. I don't know who might be under the radar.
-
I'd really like Beltran to join the Sox, but I think the Cards will land him.
-
Something else must be brewing.
-
He really rips the Punto signing and asks why would the Sox continue to hold onto Aviles if he can't be trusted as the backup at the middle IF and 3B spots. It's a good question.

They can pay Darvish more than Dice K got and spend less money overall than the Sox paid for Dice K if they avoid the stupidity of posting a ridiculously high bid like the Sox did.

I stepped away for a while. While I was gone, I started to like think more positively about Melancon. I never like Weiland, and I never understood why they thought they could take a guy that was a closer in college and make him into a ML starter. I projected him as a bullpen guy, but it would have taken a couple of years to get Weiland where Melancon is. I'll miss Lowrie's bat as a utility guy. I always thought he would be a good hitter from the first time I saw him in ST 2006. However, the guy can't stay healthy and I have no reason to think it will change. I get back to my desk after feeling better about the trade, but then I see this stupid Punto acquisition. This guy stinks. He's versatile. He sucks at 4 positions, just like Willie Harris. I hated that experiment with versatility too. Please Ben!! WTF!!

I am glad that we finally have something to discuss. He should be a solid bullpen arm. I'm not sure if he is closer material. So far our pen is shaping up as: Malancon Jenks Albers Morales
-
I though Weiland and Lowrie were chips that could be used in a bigger deal to net a better return. Melancon has a good record against the phillies-- the NL Gold standard, so maybe he is emerging.
-
I feel exactly the same way about this.
-
This is an under the radar move. I am not even sure that Melancon has more upside as a reliever than Weiland who was a closer in college, plus we just lost some bench depth in the IF.

Would you like to also Google whether I am a self-proclaimed know-it-all or whether someone else proclaimed it first. Maybe Gammons was the first to call me a know-it-all.

You take everything I post way too seriously. Did you think I was really going to pay Emmz for her services with land instead of memorabilia?:dunno:
-
Did you Google what year Berle died?

It's still not correct from a personal risk profile standpoint, because on any risk assessment, if the person is a low risk person the recommended portfolio allocation would include more low risk investments like fixed income instruments as opposed to stocks. Within the stock investment allocation similarly a greater portion of the investment would be in low risk stocks and a small amount in cheap high risk stocks. The high risk stock is still a high risk despite the fact that you have invested a very small portion of your portfolio in the high risk investment. As I said, the use of the term is not illogical, but using it in a business context with regard to the acquisition of an asset (regardless of the type of asset) is at best an unknowing misuse of the term.

Wow! You googled it too lol: Milton Berle could never make it today, because he stole all of his material. He would be quickly outed by the internet police. As with Berle, my remarks are mostly tongue in cheek jokes, but by all means use your time to verify them. Maybe you should research my royal lineage as well.

I did make a mistake and corrected my post. There is no low risk high reward nor high risk low reward in investments. Bartolo Colon was actually a high risk high reward asset. It was a real long shot that he would have a season like he did last year to say the least. His performance was a huge risk. The risk relates to how the asset will perform, not how much you pay for it. You pay less for a high risk asset, because there is a high probabillty of the asset not performing well. If the asset does well, the return in retion to your investment will be high, because you invested a small amount in the high risk asswt. Your amount iinvested has an inverse relationship to the risk of the asset. The riskir the asset, the smaller the investment. The less risky the asset the more people will invest in ti. The fact that an investor will invest a small amount in a risky asset doesn't convert the asset into a low risk asset.

No such thing as low risk high reward or high risk low reward with an investment. The risk and the amount invested have an almost inverse relationship. That would be true of any investment. You invest a lot in Albert Pujols because he is a low risk. He should put up great numbers. He is a low risk low reward player, because reward or return is always measured in relation to your investment. His WAR points will cost you more than just about any other player, I.e. The return on your money is low. Fans tend to parrot propaganda from baseball FO's that is meant to get popular support for their moves, hence the use inaccurate terms In a misleading way.

Wow! You actually took the time to Google "Dumpster Diving".

I've watched more than a few games exactly like that.

There's a place for you in my kingdom.
