    Cain may be overrated, because even though he has enjoyed a lot of success in the Majors, he doesn't fit the typical mold of dominant pitcher, however, he's not a product of his park. Over the last three years: Home: 3.12 ERA. Away: 3.42 ERA. That's a perfectly acceptable split. Also, it's a good idea to note that NL West is not entirely made up of pitcher's park. Petco and SF are pitcher's park, but Dodger (since they reduced foul lines) has played right around leagues average, and Arizona is a launching pad. He also doesn't only pitch in NL West stadiums. Anyways, a lot of his success has to do with his career BABIP numbers (almost always below league average which suggests a trend), and ability to induce weak contact and keep the ball in the park (a 7.0 career HR/FB% for an extreme flyball pitcher is remarkable).

    My only gripe is Barry Larkin. He deserves to be in just as much as Alomar in my opinion. I'm also really glad Blyleven got in, as it shows a shift towards voting for who is more deserving based on factors players actually control, instead of s***** variables like W-L record.

    Interesting, since the HOF is full of known cheaters who took greenies, doctored balls, and used corked bats. There's a ridiculous double-standard about the issue, and to the casual fan (not saying you are one) it seems just and fair, when it really isn't.

    Bobby Parnell, 400K A big arm with great stuff, easily overlooked because he's, well, a Met, he strikes people out and induces groundballs with solid control.

    No bites on Rasmus? And i'm looking straight at you JBay.
  7. Dipre
    Rasmus on the block for a big bat.

    Yeah, turning a starter with no previous relief experience into a long reliever doesn't seem like such a good idea. This isn't like a 2B moving to 3B where it's basically the same, but more like moving sa 2B to OF, a transition which takes time and is not guaranteed to be succesful. If he hasn't done it in real life, it should be looked down upon. Anyone can do it, ut i'd hold it against them.

    I can see that. The Beltran pick explains it very well.

    No Werth signing and potential Yankee swoop in scenario for you buddy. All you, no circumstances.

    There is no scientific evidence that steroids do anything other than improve strength and overall recuperation speed. The hand-eye coordination improvement issue is nothing more than speculation. Some players being able to hammer the ball the other way can be explained by increase in strength, since Sosa (the example here) was always a dead-pull hitter, but with the increased strength from steroids, balls hit late that would have been fly-outs became XBH or home runs.

    Jbay, i wanna negotiate one of your players. Keeper and anyone else who may wanna negotiate, and option in my CP screwed up my PM system, so drop me an e-mail at: thejameskirkpatrick@gmail.com

    Red Sox have acquired Max Ramirez, who was dessignated for assignment by the Rangers. Apparently, the Boston Red Sox have become the recycle bin for the Rangers' franchise's discarded catchers.

    This. A million times this. On a side note, a surprising amount of writers share the opinion that steroid users should be allowed in the hall, for reasons presented ad-nauseum in this thread. And finally, comparing players that played in different generations is an exercise in futility. Ruth hitting over 100 homers if his 1921 was played in modern times is a prime example, giving the difference in pitching approach, the birth of specialized relievers, and strategic development. It would have never happened. Every player needs to be analyzed within the context of their times, and Bonds was every bit as dominant and an overall better athlete than Ruth.

    Well i don't let things go but at least i don't whine like a 12-year-old girl about every f***ing thing. Sorry Keeper, someone had to say it. Oh, and get off my nuts. There was nothing disrespectful about my post, but you turned it into a high-school drama.
  16. Dipre
    Keeper, you, sir, can go f*** yourself. I said what i was going to say without calling you out or insulting you. I didn't tell RSFFL to say anything, that's just his opinion. His power has declined, and so has his ability to get on base on a neutral context. Ditto for his defense. Statistics don't lie: Would you have picked Markakis over Gardner or Victorino? I know i wouldn't. If you can't debate that without attacking me, then again, go f*** yourself.

    Boras' ability to impact an arbitration hearing is being massively overblown here.
  19. Dipre
    Exman, wanna trade? I'm up for some trading.
  20. Dipre
    Wil, i sent you an e-mail.
  21. Dipre
    He wanted Verlander AND Rasmus from me. yrtb, you up for trading?
  22. Dipre
    I'd only trade Verlander in a deal that makes sense for me. We don't fit in that regard. You should've never traded Timmy for a 1B, because no one will give you an ace straight up for a 1B unless the values are similar, like in your initial trade, meaning you're making the same trade again.
  23. Dipre
    I......Must.......Trade..... Everyone available......looking for 1B/3B/RF.

    Welcome to TalkSox! Are you an actual girl that wears pink hats? Or a boy that likes pink, hats and girls (if that's even possible)?

If you're going to be away for an extended period of time, send your picks to someone and don't hold down the draft for 6.5 hours.
