    Hitting .250 for the last four months of the season is all thaqt it would take. That's not unheard of. What did he hit the last 4 months of 2006? I would not say that he collapsed in 2006. Over the course of a season, a player's stats usually finds his talent level. Maybe you think Youklis is a .300+ hitter. I don't. I peg him around .280. If he finishes at around .280, that's pretty good. That's not a collapse. He's had two hot months, which can be very easily averaged out by a slumping month. It happens to most players.

    Hitting .260 to .280 is not a collapse either.
  3. a700hitter
    But you see Schilling collapsing?

    If a guy is unproven, he's unproven. Why would I hate the poor bastard? He's just unproven, meaning that the ML team can not count on the guy yet... right? Just because I don't get giddy like a school girl about some kid in AA "being our future" doesn't mean that i hate the kid. He's just a non-entity at the ML level. That's all.:dunno:

    Bucholz and Pedro in the same sentence is blasphemy. I don't care if Pedro gets killed by a bus tomorrow and never returns. Let Bucholz get to the majors before we use his name in the same post. I realize that a direct comparison was not being made, but please let's not use their names in the same post under any circumstances. Edit: I don't think anyone should throw dirt on Pedro at this point until we see what happens when and if he returns. If he comes back to a playoff bound Mets team, he could be a very key post season component of that team.

    Does anyone really think that Lugo is a better fielding SS than Gonzo? Yes, if he is healthy, and even injured he is better than Crisp is when healthy.

    Are you convinced that Youklis will finish the season above .350 or even .300? He has never done either, so what could you base it on? Schilling has finished several years with under a 4 ERA, and he is still learning how to use the changeup effectively. I think he will get better as the year goes on and he gains a better command of that pitch.

    Izzy Alacantara?

    My argument about Pedroia was that I disagreed with the FO not having a viable backup plan in ST if the kid bombed out. His tools-- speed, arm, power are still average to below average. I am glad the kid is hitting now. Hitting is the one aspect of the game that is the hardest for a scout to evaluate, because you can't tell how the kid will adjust to the ML pitching and vice versa. Speed, arm and power are much more easily judged. Let's see how this kid with average skills finishes the season with the bat before we start crowing about him being a star. If he becomes a star, well I'd just love to be wrong if that is the outcome.

    An ERA under 4.00 in the AL with over 200 innings pitched is pretty good. 7-8 K's/9 is good. A 4 to 1 K's to BB ratio is damn good too. Add to that the ability to win 15+ games in the #1 or 2 slot and he's worth $12-15 million for next year.

    He's not what he used to be, but a 15+ game winner with 200 k's is worth about $15 million. I didn't create the market, but that's about what they go for today.

    Jackson, you are sounding desperate.
  15. a700hitter
    Thanks. It was a great day to come back.
  16. a700hitter
    Should have kept Nixon on the cheap and let some other team deal with Drew's case of vaginosis.

    So, now I hear that Clemens will not face us or the White Sox, but will be ready to take on the fearsome Pirates. What a wuss! BTW: I am still loving the Randy Johnson and Sheffield trades... big time!

    Lowell is locked in.

    Two errors and a brain lock by ARod. I came back at a great time.

    Gonzo has outperformed Lugo offensively. The Damon move has looked shrewd because even an injured Damon has outperformed both a healthy Crisp and a healthy Drew? Yes' date=' very shrewd indeed. Dice-K is a legit solid starter, but on this year's team he is firmly behind Schilling and Beckett. $100 million is a heckuva a lot to spend for a #3 starter, but I am glad they did. Continue on with your FO Ballwashing.

    Roger, go into Joe's office and tell him you want the ball on Sunday. If you do that, chances are that you'll be starting on Sunday. I think you are a huge wuss and you will start Monday against the ChiSox and you'll let Torre take the heat.
