If Nixon performs the same or better than Drew this year, we would not have needed to sign Drew for 5 years, and the FO would have had more of a budget to sign one of the premier FA CFs after this season-- Andruw Jones, Ichiro, Tori Hunter.

33 vs. 31-- not a big age difference.

It's good to hear Bobby Murcer announcing again.

We have WMP to face lefties. Like I said, it's just a snapshot. We'll see how things progress throughout the year.

Piniero blows.

Not bad for an old guy with a slow bat.

We should be killing these guys tonight. Nice HR by Lugo.

If he knowingly took steroids, why would he admit it? Has he been subpoenaed to testify with immunity before a Grand Jury ? Did he test positive? or is he having some attack of conscience? Who knows ...maybe next week O.J. will confess to the murders. Gom, your post is ridiculous.

Ornery again. Just go tease the family dog and let someone else answer the questions.

If he sits at 92, that's good, but if that's what he tops out at it's no big deal. Is he truly next in line for the 5th slot or is that speculation on these and other boards? I thought he threw harder. Personally, I'd go to Snyder before I'd give the slot to Hansack. I think Tavarez is the best of the three.

What's his normal velocity?

Does Hansack also have a trick pitch, or are you just being ornery?

Assuming Hansack's control problem today is not the norm, he just doesn't throw very hard. I am unimpressed with his velocity.

This is the first guy off the bench if one of our starters go down?

Did Youk leave with an injury after the HBP?

This guy is the real deal. He has outstanding tools and he doesn't get intimidated. You know I give it straight about prospects, and it is seldom as favorable as the scouting reports. This kid is exciting.

Dude, you are a knowledgeable and passionate Red Sox fan, and even though we seldom see eye to eye, I always enjoy the exchanges. Have a good night.

Obviously, the Red Sox would have made the wise choice in those circumstances, but your hypothetical is quite a bit more remote. Most bookies would lay heavy odds against that happening.

How is my theory based on a hypothetical? I have said it is a good baseball move without condition. I have been asking you and a few of the other meatheads' date=' who are experts in baseball finances, whether he would be worth it if he helped his team to the playoffs. I have no reservations about this move whether his team makes or does not make the playoffs. That's my position. I'll state it again later after you get lost in your own ideas about my theories. My postion has been consistent. Getting Clemens is a good move by the Yankees, and it would have been a good move by the Red Sox if they had signed him. I have posed my hypotheticals to you to better understand how your financial analysis would be applied to certain circumstances. It is easier to understand a theory when it can be illustrated in the context of a number of different factual scenarios. Instead of demonstrating this infallible analytical method using these hypotheticals, you and others have erroneously concluded that I am drawing parallels or posing hypothetical theories. I am not, and you guys can not seem to explain how this so called financial cost analysis is affected by factors other than basic statistics. Your theory is clear to me for what it is. I hope Clemens sucks, but I would rather face Tavarez or Lester in a big game than Clemens, and they are paying him for the big games.

Wow, your posts are down to gibberish. I have had fun pummeling you. Thanks. It has been very cathartic.
