  1. no, in the Bronx you get shot for crack.
  2. I agree with everything you say aside from Wang. His era will be sub 4.
  3. http://www.bostonherald.com/blogs/redSox/?p=820 the herald is saying that the rockies are the pursuants, not the sox, and the sox really dont have much interest.
  4. the rockies would set a new record for futility if they were in the AL East.
  5. you are playing in the PCL?
  6. that is because LA is a s***** city run by gangs. People get killed in LA for tying their shoes the wrong way and for walking with a limp.
  7. youk doesnt have a ton of value as a 1b. I would think that Buccholz, Hansen, and Delcarmen gets the job done with them eating about 4 mil for the next 6 yrs or a total of 24mil.
  8. If by glamour they mean where the shimmery tranny's like to diddle themselves, then yes it is the glamour division. And to have the hollywood cockdodgers in the league just ices the top of that effeminate cake.
  9. Bryce Cox will not see the majors for a while. At least he shouldnt. He has 2 filthy pitches but he needs a lot of refinement. He's also a new draftee, so dont coronate him as the next coming just yet.
  10. This could be a preulde if you know what I mean. Youks to 3rd, Lowell for relief help. If everything stays as is and the sox get Helton, I'd be more inclined to say. 1. Lugo ss 2. Drew rf 3. Ortiz dh 4. Ramirez lf 5. Helton 1b 6. Lowell 3b\ 7. Varitek c 8. Crisp cf 9. Pedroia 2b
  11. the offense will be there, especially if they land Helton. The only thing that will keep the sox starters from high win totals will be BS's.
  12. Wang's era will be lower. Pettitte's era will be higher. Mussina's seems about right, although I'd go a tick higher Igawa's will be a bit lower Hughes at 3.59 is, I dunno. I'd take it and love it, but we'll see. Pavano's would be mid 4's if I had to guess. I really think they gave the sox a ton of credit. Lesters would be lower, wake's is about right. I think the other 4 are getting way too much credit. In the AL East, a mid 3 era is CY.
  13. I would assume you would get more of the 2005 Todd Helton than the 06 version simply because of his sickness. He isnt the power guy he once was and leaving Coors field is certainly going to hurt the power. But the guy can put up a mid .900s OPS, hit over .300 like clockwork and find the gaps with 20+HR potential. He would be getting a substantial time and money commitment here. He's under contract until 39, but in the short term he is worth it. He's also one of the better defensive 1b's in the game.
  14. This isnt just about the trades, it is about the draft and the INTL signings. This past yrs draft, Cashman took Chamberlain, Betances, Melancon outside of the first round because of their injury history or because they were pricing themselves out of the market. Last yr it was Austin Jackson in the 8th round. Then you have the loaded DSL that the yankees have had the past 2 yrs. Ivan Nova, Angel Reyes, Zoilo Almonte and many more. Then the over the top signing of Montero and the INTL signing of Tabata. This team is not going to be the past 5 yrs yankees anymore. They are finally putting some of that money into prospects, something that George never did.
  15. http://test.denverpost.com/rockies/ci_5099281 Delcarmen and Hansen have come up in the talks, as the rockies seem to be seeking some pitching talent. Nowhere in there does it say anything about the three B's, but you can assume they will target one of them. Helton, 33, has a full NTC but has said he would consider waiving it to go to Boston. Last season, Helton had one of his worst power displays of his career, but he had an intestinal ailment early on that cost him 15 pounds. He says that he finally has put that weight back on and finally feels like his old self. He is under contract for another 6 yrs and 90.1mil, but the rockies are willing to eat some of that if it entails bringing in some pitching talent. The discussions will resume on Monday.
  16. their baseball teams need help, badly. Their best got tattoed in the WBC, but they have a large population who apparently love baseball.
  17. I agree. I love converted players. Less mileage on the shoulders and less bad habits to break. The Yankees have a few guys who have been converted. Whelan, Claggett, Tejeda, and De la Rosa to name a few. I'm high on Martinez. I like the kid, but seeing as he is pretty raw, I'd leave him in AAA for the yr unless absolutely necessary and bring him in next yr.
  18. Last yr everything came together for him. I heard that his secondary stuff is still a bit inconsistent. You can bet he's an option midseason though. At the same time, 25 yr old middle relief prospects arent very high on farm system rankings. edgar may be impactful. Why do you think I had him as an option for my closer poll?
  19. the cards are leaning heavily on Mulder's return and on Anthony Reyes. That kid is dynamite.
  20. WHO GIVES A FLYING f*** ABOUT BILL BUCKNER. THE SOX WON THEIR WORLD SERIES. WHO CARES IF HE PLAYED IN LA, HIS CURSE HAS LIFTED! Buckner can now be said in Boston without someone trying to punch you.
  21. I was actually surprised by how fast Papi is on the basepaths. He's not as slow as one would think.
