    Is that star caliber?
  2. a700hitter
    Really, how is that so?

    I'd go for the Halladay for Buchholz trade with an extension. I think a reasonable extension would be around 3 years/ $60 million with options and buyouts afterward. Clear enough.
  4. a700hitter
    Back this up with any posts about Buchholz. Otherwise, stop with your misrepresentations of my opinion. My opinion about Buchholz is that because is so close to being a contributor that the deal would have to be very good.
  5. a700hitter
    It's all about stats...right? Something that you think that I hold in low regard and know nothing about.

    I am disappointed that you have resulted to this. I don't root for teams because of their FO. Do you? I have attended more Red Sox games at Fenway, Ft. Myers, Philadelphia, NY, and Miami than most Sox fans could ever dream about. I went to Cooperstown to see Yaz and Rice get inducted. Are you seriously questioning my fandom? Ridiculous. Perhaps you haven't noticed how I don't cut an inch of slack to the Yankees or their fans. So, let me get this straight. Because I want my team to win and beat the Yankees, that means that I should root for the Yankees? Really? You have just discredited yourself.

    My stance has been clear if you would bother reading what I write and not what you think I mean. What is your clear stance? let's pin you down. Are you saying that it would be a bad move for the Sox to get Roy Halladay? I think that it depends on the deal. I know that is not clear to you, but I'll let you make the flat out declaration. Roy Halladay on the Sox... good or bad? Please be clear.

    I termed his 2009 as encouraging, but with mixed results. It was encouraging because it was a step forward from his 2008 suck. It was mixed, because it was league average. I have also posted several times that he is at a cross-roads year. This is the year he needs to take his game to the next level. I challenge you to find a single post where I am advocating trading Buchholz for 1 year of Halladay or even a long term big money contract with Halladay. Is that clear enough for you...Champ?
  10. a700hitter
    Now you are just babbling. If you want to continue down Gom's road and play his game, go ahead... mouse.
  11. a700hitter
    None of the examples were relevant as none of those stats are indicative of anything about Buchholz. It's too bad that you can't see that.
  12. a700hitter
    You didn't even manage to do that as the pitchers that you picked, except for Carpenter, were 24 years old between 20 and 50 years ago. As you have so often told me, the game has changed since then. Those stats aren't even relevant in your pissing contest with Gom, which he baited you into and he's been playing with you like a cat with a mouse as you get more and more mad.
  13. a700hitter
    Gom's examples were equally as pointless. I am sorry that I didn't mention that before. The whole exchange of stats of players from years gone by was pointless and irrelevant. Neither set of examples prove anything in either direction. Gom, posts s*** like that to get under our skin. You usually stick to relevant stats that support an argument. I am surprised that you willingly went down Gom's path of irrelevancy.

    Oh, saying that my post is "one of the most ignorant things that have said" is not a personal attack? That's an interesting spin. If you are going to call a post ignorant, you should back it up. Please tell me how developmental stats of star pitchers who came to the majors more than 50 years ago are relevant to Buchholz's development. So you say that I don't like stats? A bit of a generalization, don't you think?
  16. a700hitter
    Since this story broke, I haven't once supported in a single post that the Red Sox should A. trade Buchholz for Halladay or B. Pay Halladay $20 million/year for 6 years. So I have to keep taking off the "Halladay Fanboy" glasses off because you keep sticking them on my face. Why don't you just address yourself to my actual statements instead of telling me what you think my unstated opinion is... huh Champ. I am just saying that there has been no sign of wear and tear in his performance. Has there been, Champ? Second, I said that you never know with a pitcher. His next pitch could be his last. Do you dispute that...Champ? That's why teams need good Doctors to examine these guys before a substantial investment is made. Could you possibly disagree with that, Champ?
  17. a700hitter
    Yes, of course, Bob Gibson's and Sandy koufax's rate of development are precursors of Buchholz's stardom and success.:dunno:
  18. a700hitter
    Those are fairly consistent #'s by Moose until age 38 when he fell of a cliff. What about Clemens? he pitched successfully in the AL East for many years. With pitchers you just don't know. Their next pitch could be their last. However, there is no sign of declining performance by Halladay due to wear and tear. If anything, his performance has gotten better.
  19. a700hitter
    How much time did you devote to researching this? And you missed the most glaring example of all... Warren Spahn who didn't even win a single game before he was age 25. All of this comparison means nothing. So what that others have gone onto great success. That's no guarantee that Buchholz will. I am hoping that he will, but your stats and research are really pointless and prove nothing.
  20. a700hitter
    Moose lasted a long time as a very successful pitcher who pitched only in the AL East.
  21. a700hitter
    Maybe the Red Sox will petition the league to drop the SS position since they have such trouble filling it with an adequate player.

    I believe that they sold him, because he was such an outrageously out of control degenerate drunk that the owners felt that he would be dead by age 25. I don't think he had a residence when he played for the Sox. He went from the ball park to the bar and the cops had to wake him up from the gutter or at a brothel to remind him that he had a game that day.

    What is with this FO and Shortstops. Marcos Scutaro is not the answer. I hope they don't think he is the answer. They can't expect Lowrie to stay off the DL beyond April 15th and he'll be hitting .150 when he hits the DL.
