    It's just a possibility. He's a platoon candidate at first and he can play the OF. Good fielder. He's better than Stinskie. He'd have to come cheap though.

    Before injuries robbed him of his legs, he was a better player than Youk's.

    What do you mean? I am not familiar with this evaluation for a pitcher.
  4. a700hitter
    I like him too, but he's not very good.

    I like tape measure 3-run Homers.

    If I had the answer, I'd have put it in my post. Just because I don't have the answer doesn't mean that there isn't a problem with this infield. It is weak offensively. If Youk continues to hit like he did in the second half of 2006 and Pedroia starts slow, the infield will be an offensive bust. It's up to Theo to figure out how to get a good stick at 1B. If he does that would make Youk expendable, and I think he is good trade bait right now. He will not be if he is exposed as a punch hitter with a slow bat.

    It wasn't just the error. It was the record-setting LOBs. One or two hits in those situations and game 6 would have been a blow out without going to extra innings.

    I don't reqally care about his kids or that he had to leave NY. I don't condone the behavior that drove him and his family from New England, but he such a f***ing weanie whiner that never was accountable for his horrendous World Series that I could give a s***. It wasn't just the error. I wanted to shoot him like a lame horse before the error, because of the LOBs which were record setting.

    Replace Drew with Bonds? I vote yes!

    I'm not saying that Erstad is great. He is a better fielder than Youk. Range factor aside, and has better range than Youk, he has insane hands and great footwork. He had much better speed than Youk before his injuries, but I don't know what he's got left in his legs. He can play the OF, including CF. Youk cannot. He's a known quantity with an 11 year major league resume. Youk, on the other hand, may only be the ballplayer that he was in the second half of last year, in which case Erstad would be a nice insurance policy.

    Have you noticed the market for pitchers like that?
  17. a700hitter
    Unlike the singles hitting Youklis, Erstad is a great fielding first baseman and a pretty good back up in CF. He has more speed that Youkilis.

    the three points is for the home field otherwise the bookies see the game even. This is a big difference from past years where Manning's Colts were clear favorites.
  19. a700hitter
    I was in favor of the trade at first, but I must admit that they could have gotten a 4th OF for a much cheaper price than a #4/5 starter that takes the ball every fifth day and puts up 10-15 wins every year.
  20. a700hitter
    I think Manning is due. No one expect him to win the big game. Now, as the underdog, he will lead his team to victory.
  21. a700hitter
    What's the state of his health?
  22. a700hitter
    What about Erstad as a lefty first baseman to platoon with Youks. He could also play CF if Crisp still sucks. http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/6375674
