  1. If he's not going to play 3B and he can hit, then yes.
  2. You mean "How much" because he's a FA. But his lifetime OPS vs lefties is higher than Kotchman's OPS vs righties. I'd be all for it on a one-year deal.
  3. I don't buy bridges.
  4. No? At least Kotchman is healthy.
  5. *sigh*
  6. No you don't, because there's no way that isn't a joke account.
  7. I just had to move 13 pages of this, you jackasses. 43 pages plus the five left in the intro forum. Get to work if you want to beat the record.
  8. They moved more than 13 pages of her intro to anything goes.
  9. Emmz.
  10. Per gathered info and my own calculations, the average starter ranged from a 4.45 to a 4.60 ERA between 2004-2009 in the AL, with a bit less 160 ip as the median, (for pitchers who threw more than 100 innings) so the Vasquez argument can be divided into two parts. 1) He was around average in keeping runs off the board. 2) He was very much above average in the other important part of pitching, which is throwing innings, which explains his very high WAR. All in all, he'll be good for what the Yankees need him, but he's not good at keeping runs of the board due to his extreme long-ball tendencies.
  11. Some people seem to like him. He'd be interesting as a bench player, as a starter, i'd rather drink mouse poison.
  12. Except Casey Kotchman.
  13. I'm being realistic. Fenway really hurts a hitter like Kotchman, since whatever little XBH power he had will be taken away by the stadium.
  14. Don't count on a big year from Kotchman, and don't count on him spending the year as the regular 1B. Calling it now.
  15. He wasn't.
  16. Best name for a team ever.
  17. Hasn't gotten this far, and probably won't. Like Jose Valverde, he's in for a rude awakening.
  18. If you read a lot here, you'll be able to pick up on a lot of stuff real quick.
  19. [Youtube=Cleveland]ysmLA5TqbIY Cleveland is worse. Be proud of your Jersey roots.
  20. I give up. I'd rather LaRoche than Kotchman. If i said before i'd rather Kotchman, i said it for the sake of argument. Bring on LaRoche.
  21. They're competing for the title of "worst basketball team ever" actually. But you're here because you're a Red Sox fan. Smart choice.
  22. Suck, good but won't win, suck, SUCK.
  23. It could be worse. You could live in Cleveland.
  24. There are enough options for him not to have to play 1B consistently. He won't hit for power at Fenway. So the Sox can: 1) Experiment with Mike Lowell at 1B. 2) A Varitek/Kotchman platoon: V-Mart plays C with Kotchman at 1B with a righty on the mound, and V-Mart plays 1B with Varitek at C with a lefty on the mound. As horrible as he was, Varitek still managed an .807 OPS with a very respectable .471 SLG% against them. 3) Get a 1B or 3B from the FA market. 4) Hold out until the TDL with a measure of number two and look for a bat.
