If he wins in two weeks, can you really leave him out?
-
For those who want to brush up on their Talksox history: http://www.talksox.com/forum/general-off-topic-chat/8253-jacksonianmarch-rivernator.html
-
Rivera got 3/45 last season, and KRod just got 3/37.5. I think you can get him for 4/48.
-
Michael Ryder wins it in the shootout....does that extend his league lead in GWGs?
-
How much are you willing to give Papelbon on a 4 or 5 year deal? I'd offer him anywhere between 4-40 and 5-55.
-
UConn will learn a lot from this experience...they needed to sweat here and learn how to close games out. Glad they won - this just seemed like one of those games they'd lose over the last 5 years or so. Notre Dame Saturday.

Doesn't sound like a HoF to me...

What was the point of this?
-
His other seasons are. His one atrocious season was 2002 in STL, when they started 0-6. And you didn't even address my other points, bang-up job.
-
It's not Lowell, it's Lowell/Drew/Ortiz as injury risks, and Ellsbury/Lowrie/C as possible black hole risks. When healthy our lineup ios very deep but I have concerns about the offense going forward.
-
So why not extend that argument to WRs and RBs then? If Emmitt Smith didn't have an awesome Oline blocking for him, he sucked balls (see his time in AZ). If Randy Moss doesn't have a good QB throwing him the ball, he sucked balls (Oakland) How far do you want to extend this argument? Kurt Warner, as a Giant, was 5-4 with a QB rating of 86.5. Not great, but not ridiculously awful, either.
-
Well, Peyton Manning also has the luxury of playing in a dome...
-
Adam Dunn is reaching JJ Hardy status with BSN07
-
I thought Lowrie hit a slider. NVM - Gameday says sinker...http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/gameday/index.jsp?gid=2008_08_24_bosmlb_tormlb_1&mode=gameday Didn't think Lowrie could catch up to that kind of heat.

I understand, but Foulke was really, really good in Chicago and Oakland before coming here, and ruined his career for the WS title in 2004. Papelbon's the best, but Foulke was very, very good and I think many Red Sox fans have the tendency to forget that.
-
Keith Foulke had a pretty awesome 2004.
-
What's your point?
-
If the Cardinals don't win on Sunday I think he needs one more MVP caliber season or two more "very good" seasons to make it for sure. Like I said in the OP, I'm 60/40 putting him in right now....but he can't fall off a cliff.
-
Even in his "bad" year with the Giants, he was 5-4 and has a passer rating in the mid 80s.
-
I do think it was a gesture of goodwill on Theo's part to sign Paps to this deal to avoid arb....maybe Papelbon can return the favor by signing a three or four year deal after this season (or maybe even during, as the ESPN article states). Nice work by Theo on the contracts of Pedroia, Youkilis, and now Papelbon.
-
He was arb eligible this season? $6.2 million sounds about right - Jenks agreed to a $5.6 millions dollar deal the other day. If he stays healthy all season I'd really like to see them give Papelbon 4/48, using River's latest contract as the baseline....we'll have to see if he's hellbent on reaching FA though.
-
I think the Mets are going to sign Bobby Abreu, actually.
-
I don't see the Sox pursuing Dunn, Fenway will depress some of his power which is his biggest redeeming value.
