    With regard to Hanley you may be engaging in some 20-20 hindsight. Although his talent level was never in question, he did have an up and down minor league career. Ellsbury has done nothing but tear through ever level of the minors and had some success at the ML for a very short stay.

    It seems like a comparable package.

    This would be a waste of a move. It would make the Eric Hinske acquisition look like a blockbuster.

    Animal Rights lobbyists are very vocal, well-funded and politically influential. That being said, it's not the fault of the animals. This dog-fighting stuff is despicable.

    He doesn't come close to throwing the innings that Catfish had under his belt.

    All we need now is an injury to Tek and the team will spiral out of control. We added one starter since last year and one reliever and we substituted an overpaid underperforming Drew for an over the hill Nixon.

    He had a full 8 ML seasons under his belt and still had 4 more great ones under his belt. If his last 4 were good, he'd never have retired. How many guys retire while they are still really good? Almost none. He'd have had more good years but they threw him 325 innings in 1975.

    Junior Griffey continues his resurgence. He stole two bases tonight.

    The yankee lineup can make a pitcher s*** himself.

    Hunter's k-rate fell precipitiously (more than 25%) after 1972. He had 4 excellent years after that winning 20 games 3 times. Tiant got better after his k-rate dipped from 9 to 5-6. Halladay has remained pretty effective despite a dramatic decline in k's. But it needs to be stressed that there is no pattern of decline for Oswalt. You are basing your conclusion on 1/2 of a year.

    We may be lucky that the team is showing its flaws this early. Last year, they were holding things together with bubble gum and duct tape and the FO thought it could whether the storm. They found out otherwise and they were terribly embarrassed. The same signs are there this year. Hopefully, they learned their lesson from last year, and the FO will get some reinforcements.

    They aren't. They need help. They need Schilling back and another starter. They also need for Drew to earn his money, because Youkilis is starting his second half swoon.
  17. a700hitter
    Last 50 AB s Youklis is hitting .250. In his last 37 ABs he's at .216. Water seeks its own level.

    We have two starters like we did last August. The other three are crapshoots at best. It's ridiculous to be getting blown out by KC. It shows why Wakefield cannot be a playoff pitcher.

    I never said that pitchers with declining k ratios would get better with age. I don't think it is necessarily a precursor of ineffectiveness. Many pitchers have had declining k rates and remained highly effective for a number of years. A few would be Tiant, Catfish Hunter, Palmer, Seaver, Sutton, Rick Reuschel. Also, you are pointing to half of a year as a trend in decreased k ratio and whip. Half of a year is hardly a trend.

    Youk with warning track power.
  21. a700hitter
    ...or maybe the his drugged up mind couldn't figure out how to adjust to less k's.

    Double by Lugo.

    Many pitchers experience a decline in K ratios as they learn to pitch and get batters out without expending as much energy as they did when they were younger. It's not a very reliable indicator of declining effectiveness.
