    There is a diferrence between perception and memory. You do realize that. Don't you? I have a bad memory. You have bad perception. Anywhoo, let this be the first time I beat you in a bet. I am predicting that Helton's stats will completely trash anything Youk does this year. Furthermore, I think Helton will still be a productinve starting player after Youk has been permanently relegated to someone's bench. If my perception is so bad, you should have no problem taking me up on these bets.

    Good point. See my post addressing your strawman.
  3. a700hitter
    Is this some union rule that I don't know about? If not, who says it has to be in the Helton deal. You are setting up a straw man here. If Colorado wants out of his contract bad enough, they'll eat the $ no matter what. If they don't agree there would be no deal.

    Thank you for all these stats. I asked you how many of our current players have a .400 OBP each and every year. But thanks for these stat nonetheless.
  5. a700hitter
    Double sigh. He was injured the last two years, which you keep pointing to as a decline. There is a difference between being injured and being in decline. As an injured player, he had a .400 OBP. That's pretty incredible.

    The Rockie GM would have to be an idiot to give up a young star for a bunch of has beens and du d prospects.
  7. a700hitter
    You think that a guy who each and every year has a .400 OPB is in a precipitous decline? You have some lofty expectations. Who has done that on the current Red Sox.
  8. a700hitter
    Correction. He is 33. His stats will blow aw?y Youk's this year. You'll see. Shall I kick your ass in another bet?

    Lowell and Tavarez are both overpaid so getting rid of their contracts would be a plus. MDC and Hansen are like giving up nothing. They stink.
  11. a700hitter
    It should be easier for Boston to get rid of him, because we'll be paying him only half to two-thirds of his salary. We would be discounting of a big discount from his original contract.
  12. a700hitter
    He still worth unloading Tavarez and Lowell's salaries and MDC and Hansen for two-thirds of his Helton's salary. Once his production goes up, we will not get him as cheaply.

    You are the doctor. I'll still take a first baseman with the gassy shits that has a .400 OBP.

    Once they start playing every day, Tito will probably give each of the OF's a day off each week or 1 0 days. That's 3 games in the OF. Ortiz might sit against Santana or another tough lefty. Ortiz might also spell Youk at first. I could see him easily getting 300-325 ABs with no injuries. He'll get 400+ if there are one or two injuries. Also, let's not forget Manny's annual mid-season burn out/refusal to play.

    Even if it does flare up, he can wear depends.
  19. a700hitter
    It's treatable and unless he is experiencing a flare up, it shouldn't affect his performance.
  20. a700hitter
    So, trade him at 35. Is his stomach ailment a chronic or degenerative disease that will affect his performance? Is that "body" still in his elbow? He's 32. Papi is 31 and fat. Should we move him after this year? Helton was injured the last two years and he still was a force. Now he is healthy.
  21. a700hitter
    I wouldn't. Crisp is starting to make good contact, and he has the element of speed. WMP is helpless against above-average pitching. He waves at 3 and sits down.

  23. a700hitter
    Tito didn't say with which team.
  24. a700hitter
    In the heat of the game, I posted my opinion about how teams will start to defend Youk. Any thoughts?
