    That's not accurate. They took a different tact that neither one of us envisioned at the time of that post. They spent a ton of money acquiring Dice k, Drew, Lugo and Okajima. Dice K solidified the rotation. Okajima was the missing part of the bullpen and the other two although disappointing in the regular season were nonetheless still upgrades from 2006. I agreed with those moves. They were different from what I had expected at the time of my April 2006 post, but I would maintain that prior to those acquisitions that they didn't have a good team. They had major, major holes with no one in the organization to fill them.

    Do those statistics reflect for runs saved, because hitters will not stretch a single against Manny because of his adeptness in playing the wall. Does it reflect runs prevented because the runners will not go second to home, because Manny plays shallow and has a quick release and accurate arm?

    The return address on his postcard is the DL.

    Let's try to have a discourse of ideas instead of arguing for arguments sake. I don't know what road you are going down now, but if you are comparing the worth of someone with 116 career ABs to Manny 2007, you'll have to engage in that one yourself.

    I was tlaking about the context of the entire season. JD Drew was instrumental in the off-season too. We don't get by the Guardians but for his Grand Slami, but would you argue that he was a good acquisition based on that, unless he improves next year? He didn't play a major role either IMO.

    Ellsbury played a role, but he didn't even come onto the scene until we had a huge lead. His primary role was OF depth. Dice K and Okajima? You don't pay $102 milion for a rookie or sign them to million dollar multi-year contracts. I think you know what I meant. These guys were acquisitions, not kids from the farm.

    Well, Loretta, Foulke and Trot are gone. Lowell could be gone, and he would have been gone if he didn't have a career year. (BTW Did you or anyone else predict tthat he would ever hit .320?) Schilling has one more year. ... and Lester has still not pitched successfully in a major league rotation for a year. It seems like I still have a pretty good shot at being completely right on this statement.

    How some posters actually believe that we should hold onto our top prospects instead of pursuing Johan Santana or Miguel Cabrera is laughable.

    I don't think you'd have to worry about that. I don't think you would get him for Ellsbury straight up. You are a stat junkie. How many guys have had numbers like Miggy at his age?

    I have purchased memorabilia from Steiner. That's the same documentation that i received. There's a laminated card. The ball has a holgram on it and there is usually a paper COA. I am familiar with his signature. It looks authentic.

    I never said that injuries were irrelevant. I said that his injuries the last two years were not chronic injuries. He has recovered from those injuries and should be starting the season healthy. You were citing a stat about down years after a certain age as an indicator of diminished productivity. I pointed out that he has been injured the last two years, resulting in reduced productivity. Since his injuries were not chronic, I don't think the last two years are a valid indicator of his future productivity.

    The game itself is what is beautiful, especially when it is played at it's highest level. I don't care if those who play the game like or despise each other. I don't care if they are good guys or not. I like watching the game and I like when the Red Sox win. If ARod will help the team win, I am all for it.

    It's a statistical theory. At most it is an indicator. It does not determine with accuracy the number of runs a fielder saves or gives up for his team.
  18. a700hitter
    I was asking how it could be verified that he is at -17 runs as a fielder. This is his injury log.
  19. a700hitter
    You are using the word ace loosely. I am talking about a dominant shut down ace like Beckett, not a 15 game winner. I don't see both of them becoming 15 game winners for 2 years.

    Schilling is a borderline Hall of Famer. Winning a third World Championship with the Red Sox and his 4th overall would help his candidacy. He'd have his best shot at a Championship by staying with the Red Sox.

    The teenagers on this site think Santana is an old man on the decline.

    I would be bothered by the fact that ek seems to have a genuine dislike for ARod. But for that, I would love to have ARod on the team in a lineup with Ortiz and Manny (for one year). I would prefer signing Lowell if the ARod cost would compromise the quality of the team pitching.

    ...and how would someone verify the accuracy of such a statistical theory? Normally, I would agree with you, but not when the player was injured for substantial portions of two of those three years. These injuries are not of the chronic variety, and if Manny stays healthy he should produce.
