    Yes, HR Derby Weaver is back! Nice easy swing by Drew for the HR to CF.

    I love when we face this guy, but I am disappointed that no one has gone deep. BTW. Is he worse than Julian Tavarez?

    Bases loaded and no out against HOUR derby Weaver. Yes

    Because he would per se be the third best hitter on our team. That's why. It's that simple. Everything you have pointed to is an irrelevant rationalization.

    The result of .....INJURY. I agree. It will be quite pathetic when old man Helton at age 33 trashes Youk age 28. Take the bet if you are so sure of your powers of perception. He will trash him. Take the bet. Make me eat my words.

    I am glad you are relying on erudite legal authorities such as Mike and the Mad Dog. I don't doubt that these are the terms of ARod's deal and maybe even Unit's deal, but are you saying that this is standard legally required language? Not as far as I know. Do you even have a link to this being part of the negotiations with the Red Sox. If not, your argument is disingenuous. Even if this part of the negotiations with the Red Sox, that doesn't mean it is a requirement. The Red Sox could negotiate that term.

    He's an impressive talent.

    I never compared the length or amount of their contracts to Helton's contract. They are overpaid, whether it be for one year or not.

    Is that a union or MLB required provision in a contract where one team agrees to continue to pay part of a player's contract after he is traded? If it is, please give me a cite or a link, otherwise it is a strawman.
  16. a700hitter
    So, we don't have to pay them this year? Are they not overpaid this year?

    Well even the blind squirrel finds a nut occasionally. This is the first reasonable argument that you have put forth. All this "decline" talk for a guy who is healthy again and age 33 is just ridiculous, especially when his OBP continues over .400. We really don't know the "Coors field effect" Nevertheless, I'd like to find out. Fenway is a pretty good hitters park too. Lefties seem to do pretty well in the friendly confines. He may not hit 30 HRs, but he does goe the other way with some power. He might hit 40-50 doubles for the Sox.

    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.
  20. a700hitter
    Good point. See my post addressing your strawman.
  21. 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.
  22. a700hitter
    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.
  23. 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.
  24. a700hitter
    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.
  25. 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.
