  1. What kind of player could Craig Hansen bring back, in a trade, straight up, with no money involved? People seem to be very willing to part with MDC, but he's been better than Hansen. I agree that Hansen has more potential than MDC, but he hasn't reached it...and as of right now MDC is the better pitcher. Why are people hesitant to shop Hansen but willing for MDC? What can Hansen bring back in a trade?
  2. I favor MDC to Hansen right now.
  3. You. Nail. Head. Helton is a significant health issue. He was pretty bad last year, but had an intestinal disease, which caused him to lose 15 pounds. I think he'd be an OK addition to the lineup, but he isn't the hitter of three years ago anymore. He's not going to make any lineup a "murderer's row". Would I part with MDC for him? I guess...but I'd be a lot more hesitant to do it than most. Why can't we offer Colorado a couple of middle tier pitching prospects (Hansack, Pauley, Gabbard) for Helton? Guys like Pauley are young, cost controlled, and should be able to make the back end of the Colorado rotation.
  4. No one thinks Helton is a health issue?
  5. http://www.boston.com/sports/baseball/redsox/extras/extra_bases/ Interesting.
  6. It won't, and really shouldn't get done unless its Hansen. And the more I think about it, if this is just a salary dump for the Rox (which it is) we shouldn't even have to give up Hansen. There's also the notion that Helton was awful last year...but I guess I can chalk it up to illness. I think he can bounce back and be a very serviceable player. Not the one he was 3 or 4 years ago, but he'd be an improvement over Youkilis at first. Again, if Bucholz, Bowden, or Ellsbury are mentioned, the Sox walk away. They don't have to make this deal. They hold a lot of power in negotiations.
  7. I don't think it'd take any of the young 'spects besides Hansen. The Sox have all of the leverage here. If they don't like the deal, they can walk. The Rocks will need to kick in some salary though.
  8. I'd part with Bard and Bowden to get this done. Hesitant about Ellsbury and Buchholz.
  9. Liar. You'd find some reason to suck their dicks.
  10. 330 IP is not that much in the grand scheme of things. If he shows he can do it for more than one season, then yeah, I'll believe it. The peripheral #'s just aren't there. If he has such dynamic stuff, why doesn't he miss more bats. One season is an accident....two is a trend IMO.
  11. Unless he can cheat the system more than one season, you can't really say that.
  12. Not just DB. 95% of the posting contingent here.
  13. Hughes and Papelbon's ERAs are a joke. Matsuzaka will be around 4.00 IMO, and Schilling too, I also think Wang will be around 4.20, same with Pettite.
  14. Long story short, you're all a bunch of faggots. April can't come soon enough so actual baseball can be talked about around here.
  15. lawls. The way the Colts were moving the ball there was no guarantee you'd stop them anyways. I thought Pats fans were above blaming the refs...
  16. You think the Yankees will be the only team in on this? A thread named "Yankees to help grow Chinese baseball" is similar to something like "Paris Hilton is a stupid slut." It's painfully obvious.
  17. DirectTv signed a 7 year deal i do believe. Woth $700 mil.
