  1. I wasn't even referring to this particular person. I was having a decent argument with a700, she jumps in and calls me "Drew fanboy" and all of a sudden i'm the bad guy.
  2. Posted this in the other thread, but i'll also add the following: Top-15 paid OF in baseball: 1. Manny Ramirez, $22,500,000 (2009-10) 2. Torii Hunter, $18,000,000 (2008-12) 3. Ichiro Suzuki, $18,000,000 (2008-12) 4.Vernon Wells, $18,00,000 (2008-13) 5. Matt Holliday, $17,142,857 (2010-16) 6. Carlos Beltran, $17,000,000 (2005-11) 7.Alfonso Soriano, $17,000,000 (2007-14) 8. Carlos Lee, $16,666,667 (2007-12) 9. Jason Bay, $16,500,000 (2010-13) 10. Magglio Ordonez, $15,000,000 (2005-09) 11. J.D. Drew, $14,000,000 (2007-11) 12. Kosuke Fukudome, $12,000,000 (2008-11) 13. Jose Guillen, $12,000,000 (2008-10) 14.Aaron Rowand, $12,000,000 (2008-12) 15. Nick Markakis, $11,016,667 (2009-14) Now here you see some overpaid players. By the way, this is a Red Sox discussion board, if people aren't calling names, or disrespecting each other, we should be allowed to discuss players at will .
  3. I beg to differ. But your poll shall say the truth. Take into consideration, though, that i never spoke of a majority, but there are certainly a considerable number of people who dislike the guy.
  4. Don't try the victim approach. There is no "baiting session". No one had called anyone any names, yet you storm in stirring the pot and calling people "Drew fanboys". You're old enough to know better.
  5. I'd also like for someone to explain to me how signing the guy was a mistake. He's been productive on both sides of the ball during his contract. Let me try this approach: Player A: Average yearly stats: .275 /.331/.473 .803 OPS 5-year, $90 million contract. Player B: Average yearly stats: .257/.332/.405 .737 OPS 5-year, $50 million contract. Player C: .283/.391/.502 .893 OPS 5-year, $70 million contract. Of those three, given production, who looks less "Overpaid"?
  6. Irony. You just called the Drew defenders "Drew fanboys" (which is an insult) while calling the use of the term "lack of logic" (which is exactly that, in the case presented). You're calling for a cease-fire while taking an open shot.
  7. Then why has the Front Office (Theo specifically) gone to such great lengths to publicly defend Drew?
  8. He had an opt-out clause. He exercised it, and there were whispers that Drew had been negotiating with the Sox beforehand, and that was part of the reason why he opted out of his contract.
  9. The team hit well, pitched well, and caught the ball. I think this is the team we envisioned heading into 2010. Also, how about the "Sox lying down against good pitching?"
  10. The list is outdated. Lackey should be there, but Tejada shouldn't. His point stands though.
  11. Uh-oh. Ramirez bringing the suck.
  12. Do not try to make this interesting, Ramirez.
  13. Not about who pitchers would rather face, but who gets it done. Varitek's been getting it done against lefties, while Ortiz hasn't. That's the truth.
  14. Pitchers better start shaking in their boots. When the little guy starts spraying liners, there's going to be hell to pay.
  15. Because Ortiz no longer hits most lefties for power. No logjam, platoon issues.
  16. Beckett and arguably Lackey. (Stretching a bit, maybe?)
  17. Interesting thing to note: Wakefield has allowed exactly zero homers tonight. A "Fearless prediction" is about to fail miserably. :harhar:
