Baseball Redraft League Draft and Discussion Thread
a700hitter replied to italstallianion's topic in Other Sports

The time line was a relevant issue for discussion and debate at the beginning of the offseason when some people were proposing that 2011 could be a bridge season. I looked at the minor league crop and concluded that there would be no major help coming from the minors before 2013, so I didn't see 2012 as the other side of the bridge. Once the FO opened up the wallet and started the spending spree on AGon, Crawford, Jenks and Wheeler it became evident that 2011 is not a bridge year. It's only relevant as a discussion point at this juncture out of boredom-- and to bet beer on whether my earlier sigged statement will be proved correct. Do you want some action? I'm on the hook for 4 cases of beer if I am wrong on both counts.

I haven't questioned the ability of either Iglesias or Kalish to be a major league starter. The only thing I am debating here is the timetable. If Lowrie wins the SS job in 2011 and hits like he did at the end of 2010, it would be very difficult for Iglesias to unseat him in 2012.

Spring Training Tickets go on Sale tomorrow

Definitely get the reserve tickets. They are under the overhang and out of the direct sun. -
Spring Training Tickets go on Sale tomorrow
a700hitter replied to EXman369's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
I got reserve tickets behind home plate. I bought them on line the first day they went on sale. They are $23 face, but each set cost $59 after S&H and convenience charges. Those fees are such a ripoff. -
Where on St. Pete's Beach did you get married? It is very beautiful there.

I'm betting that Lowrie lays claim to the job during the second half of 2011.
-
I got my Spring Training tickets the other day.

I am a uniter not a divider, but unfortunately you will both be wrong on both counts.
-
Do you want a piece of the action? One case of beer per bet.
-
Bring back two cases of the stuff just for the bet. Put it aside, and the bet is on. One case for each bet. I'm betting that in 2012 Kalish will be a platoon player and Iglesias will be a back up.
-
You have no access to El Presidente anymore, so I have no interest in betting with you. If Iglesias gets no ML time in 2011, he will not get handed the starting job in spring 2012. Sig that and wait and see. Even if Kalish takes over for Drew in 2012, I don't see him as an impact player in 2012. He'll probably be platooned at the beginning.
-
I believe that Kalish no longer has rookie status with over 150 ABs. If Lowrie stays healthy, Iglesias will not get any ML time in 2011, and Lowrie likely will be the 2012 starter with Iglesias as a backup. Unless Lowrie or Scutaro get injured in 2011, Iglesias will not make an impact with the Sox before 2013.
-
He should get along great with B.J. Upton.

Their offense should be pretty potent. I guess Manny and Damon will share LF and DH. If they had kept Garza, they would have had a solid rotation too. Their bullpen has been decimated. The rotation will be okay if Hellickson can emerge as a big time starter.
-
Angels will have a very good fielding OF with Wells and Hunter.
-
The Sox don't have anyone in their system who will make an impact with the big club before 2013. Someone has quoted this in their signature. It will be proven right.
-
I guess Heyman had nothing to write about today.
-
I think Tazawa can't be counted on for much at this point.

OMG! You are looking to get banned.
