  1. I think Almanzar is a big acquisition, but just like with Montero last yr, it is a huge waiting game. You wont see him until next yr at the earliest, and that is assuming they send him right to the GCL or to low A ball instead of the DSL.
  2. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/writers/jon_heyman/07/11/arod.yankees/index.html I would assume this goes against what Cashman said at the beginning of the yr. Good.
  3. 14 mil for a s***** player. 20 mil for a good one? Not sure what the bargain is.
  4. a shmoke and a pancake? Dye should be free to any taker since he is an FA after the yr and has absolutely sucked this season.
  5. Boneytek? Sounds like he should be a gay porn star.
  6. Joba's slider is most certainly on level with anyone's off-speed stuff. HIs slider is just wrong. It shouldnt be allowed. But Buch has nearly mastered something very basic to being a top line SP. Buch has fastball command all through the zone. Joba's command has improved to a point of being very effective, but he doesnt have the FB command of Buchholz and that is what separates the two. At the same time, Buch is one yr older as well and has one more yr of professional experience under his belt.
  7. Oh I know that. I think Fukudome will be a 20HR hitter kind of guy with tons of doubles.
  8. On pure stuff, Buchholz isnt necessarily the best. In polish and command, he makes his great stuff even more superb. He is a lot like Hughes. Sits low 90s with the occasional mid 90s heat and solid control of plus off speed stuff. One could make an argument that stuff-wise, Joba is better. But Buch has the control on him at least for now.
  9. having Joe Morgan sound stupid for hours is actually entertaining.
  10. the sox have a serious dropoff from Buch and Bowden. Their low levels remind me of the yankees 2 yrs ago.
  11. take a look at this homerun. This guy has some serious power.
  12. July 10th. Thumper plans to thump. http://www.theonion.com/content/node/30325
  13. did I ever use the Crespo line? I dont remember that but wouldnt be surprised.
  14. Buchholz got high grades out of the futures game. I think they had him as the third most impressive pitcher in the game.
  15. Joba takes home the best stuff award from the futures game. BA BEST STUFF; STUFF: Joba Chamberlain, rhp, Double-A Trenton (Yankees) Chamberlain didn't make his debut out of extended spring training until May, but has dominated since then. The 2006 supplemental first-rounder was promoted to Trenton a month later where he's continued to dominate hitters with 48 strikeouts in 28 innings for the Thunder. "We're talking plus fastball with good, late life to it and the secondary pitches were outstanding," another scout from a National League club said. "His slider was plus today; his curveball was good and his changeup was impressive too. "He showed the best pure stuff in this game, and that might be because he's an advanced college pitcher. But he was an advanced college pitcher with a lot of question marks health-wise. He looks a lot better, his arm works fairly easily and he's got the stuff and the feel to pitch. The guy knows how to attack."
  16. July 8th, 2007. Thumper is dumb.
  17. If the sox successfully deal for Cabrera I will drink my own pee.
  18. The day the fish pay Manny's contract is the day I remove my testicles, toss them in a blender, mix them with protein shake mix, and take a sip.
