You guys can troll and hijack Red Sox threads, why can't i do the same for Yankee threads? And no, i don't think the "very respected" hitting coach is going to help Cervelli in this instance. Neither is hanging out with Posada. Offensive development from a guy groomed as a backup catcher, who is now a backup catcher, and will play backup catcher time. Interesting. I would call it "wishful thinking". Try not to be high so much when you post. The butthurt over a backup catcher (because that's what he is) is absolutely hilarious. Stranger things can happen, but it's like waiting for it to start raining pigs. And this isn't a comparison about backup catchers, unless you want to start a comparison about benches, which i would love to start. Also, Varitek had an .807 OPS vs. lefties last year, who can Cervelli put up an .800 OPS against?

A couple other things: 1) You're massively overstating the extent of Dice-K's injury, which is a downright pathetic argument. 2) No one gives a s*** if the Sox stack up to NY (and in your opinion to boot). What we give a s*** about is making the playoffs, where, in a short series, the two teams do stack up against each other, whether you like it or not. 3) You're massively overstating the extent in which the offense was weakened, which is another pathetic argument. All in all, more homerism and bitterness from you. If anything, since you're trying so hard to diminish this particular Red Sox team and convincing yourself "they don't scare you at all" and "they don't stack up well" i think you're actually s***ing your pants about this Red Sox team.

This is: A) A cop-out. B ) Not a convincing argument. My point was that he gives up a lot more XBH than the two similar pitchers, which you just said in the above post, essentially agreeing with me. However, it doesn't explain the meteoric drop-off in K's, and of course, the rise of walks. I tried to establish two things: A) He's XBH prone. B ) He's more XBH prone, and has a noted drop-off in peripherals with men on base. Discount either.

From the master of strawmen. Lol.

Did i say it wasn't a good post? I said separating would have made it easier to read, for one. Second, why call JD Drew Nancy Drew?, third, what team isn't in trouble if they lose one of their best pitchers?, and how can you trade for a player if the other ballclub doesn't agree at least until the TDL? Stop putting words in my mouth. The real problem here is your pathetic attempt to convince everyone that the Sox are a worst ballclub than 2009, which is obviously not what OP said in his post. Maybe you didn't read it through?

Yeah, reach more plz.

I didn't use the 4 AL seasons. I used his entire career.

So was Chien-Ming Wang.

I, too, have become a Plumpamaniac.

I'd pencil in Both Hall and Lowrie (who are both on the 40-man) as the likely candidates to still be on the 40-man come '11. Just my opinion though.

If he does well, he'll probably re-sign. Why wouldn't he?

Wow. I agree with this post 120%.

From left field, but in fact, still an opinion.

Of course i do. If you think otherwise, i have a bridge i'd like to sell you......

2490.0 IP worth of sample size is not enough to establish a trend? Major LOL. Not HR prone. XBH and walk prone with men on base. Disprove it. I compared him to pitchers with exactly the same FIP who have vastly different results for a reason. Maybe it flew over your head? Read it again. Being homer-prone in itself is going to screw with him at Yankee stadium. The rest is gravy.

*Yawn* You friends with Nostradamus there?

When the sample size reaches at least what would be the equivalent of a season. I'm not saying he can't be good, i'm saying that sample size shouldn't even be mentioned. Give him 100 more games, then hype him.
