    I don't think I am missing anything here. His offensive production is what it is. It does not diminish because of a change of defensive position. What might change is his market value, because he may be playing a position that has a larger supply of big offensive producers. That is just a product of economics laws of supply and demand. My argument has never been about his market value and whether or not his market value has changed. His production has not declined. It has improved in some aspects. That is what I have been saying. Lots of people expected his offensive production to decline due to age and injury, not due to relative market values of COFersb and CFers. They were wrong. He is a still a very highly productive offensive player.

    I never said that I was comparing Damon to Rickey Henderson or Gwynn. I used them as prominent examples of COFers that were not power hitters, without drawing a comparison. You suggested that I was making a comparison to them and then you suggested that I should compare Damon to Pierre, which i think is ridiculous. Damon has a very good chance of ending his career with 3000 hits, 1800+ runs, 1200-1300 RBI, 250+ HRs and 400 SBs. Those are borderline HOF numbers. I am not comparing him to Gwynn or Henderson, but he is a pretty good offensive player, and he is far superior to Juan Pierre. I can understand your frustration at arguing with me as your arguments are specious and poorly reasoned and I insist on pointing it out to you. Damon's offensive production has remained at his pre-2006 level or improved over the last four years. Yet , you argue that it has actually declined because he changed defensive position. That argument doesn't hold water.

    Strawman? His offensive production has stayed the same or improved, but you argue that a change of position has decreased his offensive value. It's hard to follow the logic. You think that Damon is comparable to Juan Pierre? This too is ridiculous. Damon will have about 2,400 hits, 1000 RBI, 1500 Runs, 200 HRs, and .793 OPS by the end of this season. Have you checked Pierre's stats recently?

    I never said he was great. That word was never used in any of my posts. I said that he is a very good offensive player, and that is true regardless of his defensive position.

    Offensive players are judged by how well they perform a role in the lineup. Damon is a very good lead off or number 2 hitter. He is not a number 3 or 4 hitter. The defensive outfield position that he plays is irrelevant to his offensive production. Ichiro is a corner outfielder and Ricky Henderson played LF for much of his career. Your "not a COF" attempt to denigrate Damon's offensive value is a specious argument.

    Theere was no wind tunnel the last 3 years and there is none on the road. He is just a very good offensive player. He had just reached his peak when he walked and he is still there.

    Here's a picture of Boggs at the tournament taken with my friend's phone. I cut my friend out of the picture, because I wasn't sure that he would have wanted his picture posted on the INTERNET. [ATTACH]564[/ATTACH] Edit: As a Yankee fan, my friend did not want his picture on a Red Sox Forum.

    I don't think that is going to happen. He has a $5 million guarantee, and he has been pitching better lately. He's going nowhere.

    When Youkilis is activated, Bailey should go right back to AAA. He didn't distinguish himself with the bat and his glove is horrible. BTW a slumping Ortiz is a better DH than Baldelli. If Tito wanted to make some use of Baldelli this weekend, he should have put him in RF to give the brittle J.D. Drew a break. J.D. could have DH'd in one of the games.

    Yes, I remember that episode. They pantsed Boggs. lol!!!

    With Mo out of the game, Gardenhire could have taken the advantage. Instead of going to his best-- Nathan, who would've liked a chance at redemption, he went to that puss-bag Crain who makes a career at losing to the Yanks.

    We need Road Mojo.

    Well, there you go. Not green's fault. he's a back up utility infielder who has outperformed expectations. He really air-mailed that throw. Game was lost when they left that pig Vargas off the hook after loading the bases with none out and 3-4-5 scheduled to hit. The assist goes to the FO for allowing the team to break camp without a decent SS.

    It doesn't hurt as much when you have known it is coming since the 5th inning.

    The batters just need to let Aardsma be Aardsma. Just stand there with the bat on your shoulder and let him do his thing. Ellsbury swings at both pitches like he is Paul Bunyan trying to chop down a tree. Just f***in let him walk you.

    Green has a tough time with mid 90's cheese. It over powers him.

    Kottaras is Pinch Running? Does he have any speed?
