    I'm opposed because it is an absolute and utter pain in the ass to manage. We opened the trade window, but adding draft picks on top of that would result in chaos.

    Oswalt for Cabrera interests me. Keeper, no discussing trades in progress please. As for trading draft picks, i'm putting my foot down in this one. It ain't happening.

    Oswalt, Billingsley on the block. Looking for: C, 1B, 3B, LF, RF.

    In a down year, he scored 88 runs and stole 32 bases. He's a very good bet to be healthy and bounce back with respectable numbers and fantastic D. (I'm talking about Andrus) He's an excellent pick IMO.

    JBay, f*** you and yo' momma for picking Dunn!

    Bard had terrible control as a SP, and wasn't cutting it, Feliz was converted to relief out of necessity, not because of a lack of dominance. See, the reason i'm so high on the kid is that, besides following him statistically, i saw him pitch in the summer leagues a couple years ago (as a starter, he threw fastballs, changeups, sliders, the sinker was added last year per an interview done to him by a Dominican reporter, which i confirmed later by reading scouting reports). No one (not Ubaldo, not Liriano, not Rafael Soriano) produced the sound on the catcher's mitt that Feliz did, not to mention he's fierce on the mound, and he goes right after hitters. He's a bulldog, and he has filthy, disgusting stuff. There are some things you can't know about some players unless you follow them regularly, even if through the TV. That kid is something else, my man.

    First off, a correction: Josh Johnson doesn't throw 100. Second: You're seriously underestimating the kid's arsenal because of what you've seen from him as a reliever. Also, comparing starter-to-reliever pitch values from is an exercise in futility due to sampling issues. You need to delve a little deeper to find out about his full arsenal as a starter. Fangraphs pitch values is not enough to accurately describe a young pitcher's arsenal. Look at his splits last year, you claim he doesn't have an out-pitch against them, yet he held them to a .409 (!) OPS last year. Sure, it has to do with sampling as well but god-damn. As a starter, Feliz would come at you with his bread-and-butter FB, CB, an above-average changeup, an average slider and an improving sinker. This is an "agree-to-disagree" situation due to sampling issues, but mark my words, if moved to the rotation the kid will eat the league for breakfast.

    But will Feliz remain as closer? It's the ultimate high-risk/high-reward move, because if they move him to the rotation you're left without a closer but he's a guy who has the stuff to be a top-5 starter in the league.....for 400K.

    I have an incredible desire to clothesline or Dragon Punch yrtb. If he doesn't make his pick by midnight, i'll discuss skipping him with Ital.
  18. Dipre
    I'm online, and i have my next pick on hand.
  19. Dipre
    I won't give up until i see an instance where you say: "I was wrong about this". Gives me something to do during the off-season. I am willing to negotiate the use of a Carl Crawford avatar for your admission.
  20. Dipre
    Goddamnit, he'll never admit he was wrong about something if you keep distracting him! Go plan your re-draft picks dude!
  21. Dipre
    First off, don't white knight, it doesn't suit you. With that out of the way: I'm entertaining legitimate discussion here. I want to prove an instance where he admits he's wrong, and i'm doing it without demeaning him or calling him names. He's a big boy, and can provide evidence of why he was right or wrong in this instance. If he doesn't wanna respond or something, he won't. Stay out of it.

    I'm not picking a fight. I'm trying to drive the point home of how bad it can look when you trade a prospect for a rental. In this case, Ramos was blocked by Mauer and they needed a RP so they were a better fit, but still overpaid, now, trading a guy like Kalish or Rizzo or any other upper-tier prospect might have either caused the Sox to not be able to trade for Gonzales, or lose a player they could use to fill up a position on the cheap or closed the door on a future trade. That's why you don't use your best trading chips for quick fixes. You advocated for this, i'm telling you were wrong, and providing an example of why. No reason to fight over it.
  23. Dipre
    Not according to a700, who would have been fine with giving up prospects for a reliever like Capps to "salvage" 2010. The reason you don't see me opposing the Ramos-Capps trade is because i think Ramos was a terribly overrated prospect. A lot of scouting reports refer to him as an average receiver with a solid arm, but he doesn't have any sort of plate discipline whatsoever, even though he has above average power. That describes a ton of MLB catchers (Miguel Olivo) and it's really not that valuable IMO, and the fact that he was indeed traded for Capps reflects that.

    Keeper, stop hating on Lowrie by having realistic expectations! By the way, remember how you got in my case sometimes for calling Jacko out on being a homer? Well i hope you now realize that i don't like unrealistic expectations from people regardless of their team affiliations.
