  1. Bard isn't the catcher of the future, or the one Tek would groom. He is a back up. And that's all, unless he comes in and rakes.
  2. I wouldn't go that far since Cashman basically copied "Gom's plan to fix the Yankees";)
  3. Brilliant. If that is your opinion of how to handle him, you might as well leave him in the BP now, you'll get better value. And won't have to go though season after season of him pitching 10 games then out by June.
  4. Well the word so far out of Texas is that Salty and Teagarden are going to platoon. But know with the signing of a veteran Catcher, Texas might be more willing to deal one of the Young catchers. I agree it's a stretch that the signing is a signal that Texas is willing to deal, but I thought it was interesting.
  5. Anyone think the Sox sign Tek and still make a trade? They could put Bard in AAA, or trade him/release him. I guess Kott and Brown could be trade canidates as well.
  6. No doubt. I bet Ellsbury could go all the way around the basebs before Casey could round 2B LOL
  7. The question you should be asking is, is there really true victory in "beating" someone on a message board? When you "get" this Jim, I think you could become a valuable member of the community here. If you don't "get it", I guess the rest of us will have to watch our step, and try to avoid the verbal turds being left around.
  8. Glad to see you 2 keeping it civil:lol:
  9. We can consider this for just about every thread you have contributed in.
  10. Forgive me if I don't think 87MPH is that impressive. I have a bad shoulder that will need surgery eventually, and I can still hit 84MPH. While my top girl SB pitcher can hit 74MPH(underhand) While our top mens pitcher gets clocked at 80MPH(underhand). Seriously, does everything have to turn into a pissing contest?
  11. Casey was a nice guy to have around the team last year. But with the market the way it is, I'm sure he had trouble finding a fulltime gig.
  12. Hammer and chisel are always a good guess.
  13. I've been saying this for weeks.
  14. As far as my PED theory, His best HR #'s came from 1997(first year in SF)-2005, for the better part of the "steroid era", color me skeptical. Do I have proof, of course not, I said it was all personal opinion. But as far as PED's go, I am on record as saying there are very few players that would "surprise" me if they used.
  15. This is where he ranks for 2B all time, Good yes, HOF:dunno:
  16. Listen I'm not trying ruffle feathers, or make anyone upset. This is all just my personal opinion. If he gets in congrats to him and I'm fine with that. I'm just saying, I don't believe Jeff Kent to be a HOF, 1st ballot, 2nd ballot, whenever. Here is a great way to sum it up, As I said if he gets in fine, but I think he is 3rd behind Biggio and Alomar, as far as HOF 2B waiting to get in.
  17. Say it out loud, "Jeff Kent is the all time leader in HR at 2B". It's like saying he's the skinniest kid at fat camp. There's more to being a HOF then offensive #'s. Rod Carew, Rogers Hornsby,Joe Morgan, Jackie Robinson,Ryne Sandberg, Jeff Kent....LOL Guys I'm not saying he doesn't have some impressive numbers. He does. But considering him a 1st ballot HOF is ridiculous. Does Defense not come into play at all here? I mean the ability to field your position well should count for something. And if it doesn't, then just looking at his numbers, he doesn't really stack up that well to the all time hitters of the game.:dunno: Outside of his spitting incident, I would consider Roberto Alomar a HOF 2B before Kent.
  18. Kent is an ass. I can't believe anyone thinks he is a HOF. Ya he hit alot of HR, but that's not what's important at 2B. His glove was mediocore at best, and he was a clubhouse downer. IMO, He juiced, his best HR stretch came in pinnacle of the "steroid era". And after he left Barry, he was a marginal player(although age can be taken into consideration as well).
  19. LOL, hard to be #1 when you lose money. Washington Redskins have the honor of being #1. http://www.askmen.com/sports/business_200/221_sports_business.html I'm glancing through Forbes for the actual article, I haven't found it yet though.
  20. That's really what it's all about when considering foreign players coming to MLB.
  21. My apologies, I crossed up the scouting reports of Yu and the guy ATL just signed. Yu does look to have the goods. Has his team put him up for posting yet, or decided if there going to?
