Agreed. That's why the contract was only for $8 million and not $16 million.

He would have had to go through camp, drills etc. His injuries were nagging, but not disabling. He pitched the following season without undergoing surgery. He was worn down and his body needed the rest. The team was not going to give him his check and let him go home because his knees hurt. He would have had to go for treatments etc. When he improved, he would have been required to go for a rehab assignment etc. He wouldn't be able to show up and say he didn't feel like playing and get a check. Yes, he could have gone through the motions, but they weren't going to just let him go home with a check. He didn't want to go through the motions, so he forfeit the check.

Who cares what the players steal from team owners. Team owners and management made a bad deal. Too bad for them. Did they give Pedroia a retroactive raise for 2008 commensurate with his MVP year? No, they didn't. Business is business. Caveat emptor-- let the buyer beware. As for Foulke, he did not want to report to camp, get in shape and attempt to pitch. He didn't want to make the effort to show up. It would have been a bit ridiculous if he didn't show up but demanded his check... don't you think?

Willis got the win. 6 1/3 inn 0 runs 1 hit 2BB 5 k's

Splendid idea!
-
It is not a good sign that Wakefield has been the team's best starter.
-
Like a young Mo.

Are you predicting any wall ball singles?
-
Letting pop flys drop in the infield and getting thrown out at third for the first out of the 8th inning--- these are things that losing teams do. If they lose, they deserve it.
-
Stupid play by Ellsbury with none out and in need of an insurance run.
-
Wake up offense!!! Is this going to be another late inning crusher?
-
-
Dontrelle Willis has given up 0 runs on 1 hit after 6 innings against Texas.

Ortiz couldn't do anything with that pitch. he should have taken that pitch.
-
They should be crushing this bozo Tallet.

Oh, I still don't agree that the only way to judge an offensive player is with reference to his defensive position. That maybe true for picking fantasy teams, but that's about it. Lead off hitters are a different type of offensive player. They are the catalysts for the offense. Most have speed, but others do not, and they compensate with great bat control and high OBP. Leadoff hitters throughout the ages have played many different positions. I judge them against other lead off hitters in evaluating their performance and their careers. As for all other players, I rate their offensive performance against each other regardless of their defensive position. I don't lump them into defensive positions which are irrelevant to their offensive production. I still don't agree with your irrelevant argument, but i got tired of arguing about it. After all, it was irrelevant to my factual assertion.

Again, here is the link to my initial post. http://www.talksox.com/forum/damn-yankees/12144-2009-yankees-game-thread-64.html#post408355 Everthing that followed about value were irrelevant and ineffectual attempts to refute a factually correct statement. Yes, I engaged in your irrelevant arguments in some of my posts, but that doesn't make them any less irrelevant to my initial post.

I never used the word "elite" nor "great". I love how things get twisted when my words are right out there in black and white. I said he was "pretty good" and "very good". Does that translate to "elite"? my goodness.

I am not talking about any of the above. These are all your arguments and assertions which you and others have made in response to my very simple, but accurate an yet unrefuted factual assertion that went something like this: Damon's on-field production has not declined in the 4 years since he left, as many had predicted that it would. Here is the link to my original post: http://www.talksox.com/forum/damn-yankees/12144-2009-yankees-game-thread-64.html#post408355 But keep trying to refute this assertion with your irrelevant arguments.
-
The lineup is more potent with Papi's empty helmet taking the ABs than with Baldelli as DH.
-
Boy, you are a dumb ass. I debated your theories regarding value to entertain myself, but as arguments to refute my factual assertion, they are irrelevant and ineffectual. Here, once again, just to leave no doubt about my position is my factual assertion: Damon's on-field production has not declined in the 4 years since he left, as many had predicted that it would. His production speaks for itself. Look at his numbers year over year. You don't need to refer to any conversion table or anything. It's a fact, not a strawman. Jeesh, i thought you are an attorney. God help your clients.
-
So you declare that there is only one official method of determining a peer group for purposes of determining the value of a players performance? Damon's defensive position is left field. I don't watch much NL, but Damon compares pretty well with most AL left fielders that I have seen this season. Again, none of this is relevant to my assertion that Damon's on-field production has not declined in the 4 years since he left, as many had predicted that it would. That is an irrefutable fact that several of you keep trying to refute with various interpretations of value. His production speaks for itself. Look at his numbers year over year. You don't need to refer to any conversion table or anything. pat-pat:D
