    By the way, i just noticed the full extent of this. I strongly suggest against continuing such baiting attempts. I would appreciate it. And so would everyone else.

    Nick Johnson's in negotiations with the Yankees, no chance there.

    Casey Kotchman OBP 2008 and 2009: 2008: .328 2009: .339 He hasn't kept many lines moving lately.........

    2008 and 2009 OPS for Kasey Kotchman: 08: .738 09: .721. This is from a man who plays 1B exclusively. The hype over prospects really has nothing to do with the fact that Kotchman simply hasn't been very good at the plate the last years at the most offensive-minded position in baseball, and also, the prospects people are excited about won't open the season manning 1B for the Sox after the departure of Jason Bay, making the shoes even bigger to fill.

    Incorrect. David Ortiz OPS vs fastball by plate area: Inside: Up: 1.167 Middle: 1.179 Down: .611 Middle: Up: 1.053 Middle: .815 Down: .682 Outside: Up: .235 Middle: .750 Down: 2.000. As a whole, he had a .792 OPS against fastballs, when you take into context the fact that he could simply not hit anything for the first two months of the season, one can conclude that your premise is not correct.

    My point is that if you take him out of that hellhole in Petco he could probably be a complete and utter monster. He hit 21 opposite-field home runs last year, imagine that opposite-field power matched up with the Green Monster.......

    My problem of Kotchman is his utter lack of pop, but a tough out he is.

    Well i strongly disagree about Ortiz. Four months of near-elite production should outweigh his struggles in the first two months. Don't get me wrong, he won't be an elite bat ever again, but i highly doubt he produces an OPS under .830.

    That would essentially mean he sucked last year, and will continue sucking.

    I asked for "More productive" first basemen, on both offense and defense. The only 1B that was clearly more productive than Gonzales and Cabrera last season was Albert Pujols.
  16. Dipre
    Calling out bias is not the same as hurling out insults. Also, he had four months with an OPS over .820, including two with an OPS over .900. He'll start the season fully healthy, and he finished strong. What matters is production, and after his abysmal two months, he produced, you cannot try to tell us "he's done" when he produced at near elite levels for more than half the season.
  17. Dipre
    I could see better numbers from Ells, Youk, and Drew, but worse numbers from Ortiz and Kotchman.
  18. Dipre
    Give me three more productive 1B than Adrian Gonzales or Miguel Cabrera.

    He disappeared for the first two months of the season. It's not impossible that the Ortiz that played from June on is the Ortiz that will play for the entire '10 season. His mechanics were f***ed up, and he couldn't catch up to average fastballs. after adjustments were made around the end of May however, he posted the following month-by-month OPS's: June: 1.062 July: .845 August: .825 September/October: .911. His April and May lines looked like this: April: .623 May: .520 Your "father time hit Ortiz" statement is a textbook example of bias, looking at the stats, you can tell that after his rough start (which could be attributed to a number of things), he was a highly productive player, when you talk about "father time", you should talk about a 38-year-old Posada too, but i guess father time doesn't hit Yankee players?
  20. Dipre
    There's one thing i have to ask you though. How come father time will hit Red Sox players but not Yankee players?

    I seriously doubt Kotchman starts the season as the regular 1B, and even if he does, it's still a solid lineup that can hold its own until the chance to acquire a big bat presents itself.
  24. Dipre
    Yes, i know that, but it's still trading for the same player. When you speak of suitable alternatives to fix a problem, you're talking about a solution different than the one stated in the first place.
  25. Dipre
    Waiting on Mauer doesn't seem like such a good idea. All signs (New stadium, him being the franchise player) point to his staying in Minnesota. Also, how is waiting a year to trade for A-Gon a suitable alternative to trading for A-Gon?
