It is conjecture, but it is not baseless conjecture, because Clemens is a proven winner and Tavarez is s*** and Lester is an unknown. It is completely reasonable to think Clemens is more likely to bring a team a Championship than Tavarez or Lester in 2007. Do you disagree with that or do you get some sort of cheap kick out of making lame attempts to use my words against me? If Clemens ends up being the difference between the post-season and the couch, would he be worth the investment? Is this such a tough question that no one can answer it? Maybe I'll get back one of those large font math problems that can't be proved or verified. BTW: I am having a great time.:thumbsup:

Would he be the only one? Chamberlain's Lakers had as much if not more talent than Celtics and Knicks teams that beat his teams. Hell, the Knicks beat them without a center in game 7.

Thuuuuh Yankees Looose!!! Thuuuuh Yankees Loooose!!! But DiSalvo won the Player of the Game Award.

You started the name-calling, and you clearly ran out of ideas first. Don't blame me because I am just better with insults than you. Wow, you really don't get it. Lester doesn't make $7 million per year. He makes the minimum, like you. He's not even a budget item. We don't have to let him go to get Clemens. The upgrade would be for one year, and we get to keep the cheap prospect. We have no idea what Lester would do in a penant race in 2007. Hell, we don't know if he is ready to hold down a spot in the rotation. Clemens has a pretty looong track record. If Clemens is the difference between the playoffs and another championship, yes he would be worth the cost, and we'd have the cheap hot prospect stronger and more ready to hold a spot next season. That's my math, but yours must be right and mine wrong, because yours is in huge font.

What were Jerry West, Elgin Baylor, Hal Greer, Nate Thurmond, Billy Cunningham, and Gail Goodrich For the second time, I wasn't draawing a parallel. I was wondering how his cost/benefit analysis works in other situations. Is it purely stat based? I think it is a legitimate question. Very relevant comment to this discussion. Thanks for your input.

He is a very poor fielding OF.

I am not surprised that you didn't get the question, nor am In surprised that you could not articulate an answer explaining why it is different. I am not surprised at all.

Apparently not. I would have thought that if Clemens wins 5 more games for the Yankees than Lester and Tavarez win for us and they beat us by 5 or less games to make the playoffs that it would be a wothwhile acquisition. Silly me. Thanks for the thorough explanation...not. I am lost as to what point you are making here, but you certainly did not come close to answering my question.:dunno:

Try this one on for size. If the 20 run difference results in 5 or 6 more wins for the Yankees, that could very well be the difference between the playoffs and the couch. How's that Cost/Benefit analysis doing. Clemens is still not worth it for 2007?
-
He will not be an All Star, so don't go wagering anything on it.
-
Yeah, that's happening. Schilling has a good shot though.
-
Yes, he is, and thank goodness Torre is not the manager.
-
How does that analysis change if one of the runs that Clemens saves is in game 7 of the ALCS and Lester gives up one more run than Clemens in that game? Does the analysis still hold true? Is it a completely static analysis based entirely on the individual statistics? Based on that type of analysis, Wilt Chamberlain was much more valuable than Bill Russell.
-
Maybe Clemens has to go to their pen.
-
Exactly. Roger will be pitching and I don't like our chances in a matchup against Wakefield or even Dice K (unless he cleans up his command). I'd rather have Clemens going for us in october against Rasner, Disalvo or Wright.

At least I'd be blowin a HOFer and 300 game winner and not two guys that have a better chance of pumping gas when they leave baseball than going to the HOF.

That's not much to brag about for the last 25 years. With pitching being the most important position, we haven't produced too many solid starters in the last 25 years.
