    Shoppach too?!!?

    The Sox and Braves must have seen something in Marte. Honestly, name a great prospect that turned into a great major leaguer who got traded twice in two months.
  3. KeepTheFaith1229
    It depends on the prospects. If we could have gotten Michaels for Mota straight up, than we're getting jumped here.
  4. KeepTheFaith1229
    Yeah, but I read that if Cleveland can't get Michaels, they would get Davanon.

    inDEED.

    Not looking too good for those who picked Denver.
  7. KeepTheFaith1229
    Champ Bailey for Clinton Portis.

    What a play by Polamalu. That kid's an athlete.

    I really don't want Helton. For a guy who struggles to hit 30 homers in Coors, his contract is like 16 million a year through 2011 and he's 32 years old. He goes against what we're trying to do right now.

    I didn't disagree that Pittsburgh has a better secondary than Denver, they do. I was just saying that Lynch and Bailey aren't the only 2 notable players in their secondary and they still rank among the elite in the league (below Pittsbrugh). Ben Roethlisberger threw a touchdown SECONDS after I wrote that.

    Actually, it's like we trade Renteria for Crisp which is awesome. Gonzo had a bad year last year but has 23 homers the year before in a pitcher's park. And Crisp is going to be loved for his play, not his name. Although I still love his name.
  12. KeepTheFaith1229
    Add me.
  13. KeepTheFaith1229
    I do believe Pittsburgh has a slightly better secondary than Denver, but Bailey and Lynch aren't their only good players. They also have a decent strong safety Nick Ferguson, and two great rookie corners in Dominique Foxworth and Darrent Williams.
  14. KeepTheFaith1229
    Ahh, what a catch by Randle El.
  15. KeepTheFaith1229
    He's 37 as someone just said, so his 34 homers from 2005 should probably go down to about 28-30 Not true. Manny will dominate Matsui offensively. Nixon is projected to hit 19 home runs in 2006, he will improve from last year and Sheff wil regress. OBP should be similar. Sheff over Nixon, that's true, but Sheffield BIG over Nixon? No.
  16. KeepTheFaith1229
    I expect Sheff to begin his descent as well. Correct me if I'm wrong, he's 36 now?

    Gonzalez may come at a little higher price than we might have wanted, but he's no version of Cora by any stretch of the imagination. He had an extreme down year last year, and only played in 130 games. In 2003 he hit 18 home runs, and 23 in 2004. That was in Pro Player Stadium, a pitcher's park. True, he can't hit for average very well and doesn't get on base often, but if we can coax some more walks out of him and get him on more, we'll be fine. Hitting in Fenway should get him to around 20 homers, if he can somewhat return to form. His average should be also be around .250-.275, but it's still an upgrade over Cora. We do downgrade in the field, but it's not like Gonzalez is going to make as many errors as Edgar last year. He would only be here for one or two years, so why not get Pedroia some more experience in the minors? It couldn't hurt. Not an OUTSTANDING acquisition (if it does indeed happen), but an upgrade and not too bad.

    The deal is done. Just saw it on ESPN Bottomline.
  19. KeepTheFaith1229
    Mark Teixeira's father's high school teammate was Bucky Dent. :dunno:
  20. KeepTheFaith1229
    Err... Crisp is a great player, but is he really worth a potential 40 HR threat? I might rather stick a stopgap Davanon in for a year and hold onto Crisp. But hey, if we're giving up Mota too, then the guys coming back besides Crisp HAVE to be pretty good, right? Right?
  21. KeepTheFaith1229
    Wow, it was just a couple years ago that the Royals coach (Pena...?) was coach of the year and KC was contending. How things change.
  22. KeepTheFaith1229
    Not to butt in, but I think A7H and ORS both have a point here. Crisp could fill out and hit 25 HR, but then again he might not. The only thing I worry about here is that by the time we shift Crisp to left or right, as A7H said, we have a below-average to average hitting COF and by that time, Andy Marte is putting up 35 HR in Cleveland. Would I do the trade? Not if it was straight up. If Cleveland was giving us another quality player or decent prospect in return, I might. It's a tough decision.
  23. KeepTheFaith1229
    I haven't heard about him, I'll check him out in spring training.
  24. KeepTheFaith1229
    Ugh. I really hope we don't trade Marte.
  25. KeepTheFaith1229
    Yeah, Crespo's right. This is never going to happen. And if it did, we would probably have to part with Lester or Pap. And wow, I don't want that to happen.
