I meant that. Fully. Yet another tangential attempt at evading the actual subject. Please, Clint, you're better than this. Just admit you share Gom's viewpoint on the kid, and you wished they traded him for Halladay. The "credibility issue" is usually raised when people have just about run out of arguments. Lol,psycho.Through the internet.

Your argument was based on the teams he pitched well against "Pretty much sucking", effectively downplaying his performance. You were proven wrong in that instance. However, that was not the first time you indicated that Buch's performance was no more than "average". Hell, you changed your tune in the middle of that thread, right after using Brad Penny as a benchmark for his performance. Who's 100% wrong again?

So "TRADE HIM"-------->Mixed results------------------------------>Turning a corner/ Sucked most of the time .does not equal an argumentative ramification? And this is just an example. I suggest looking for the definition of the term yourself. That is all.

If you don't understand why exactly i told you that, then i don't know what to tell you. And i explained 100 times the reasons why, in this instance, i wouldn't give up Buch to the Jays, and it holds no relevance to the topic at hand. If you've so explained your position and are so certain of it, why the butthurt when i said what i said?

You'd need to read the whole shitstorm to understand what i meant by it.

I took them off the top of my head, but Everett is specially interesting to me.

In all fairness, a700 should take a position on Bucholz and stick with it. He knows what i meant when i told him that, so i fail to see where his futile attempt at turning my words around will take him. In fact, it shows yet another change of heart in his actual view of Bucholz. That is all.

Orlando Cabrera, Miguel Tejada or Adam Everett don't sound so bad on one-year deals.

I was talking about the amount of time. If you don't think he can get more than one year on the open market, you're either an ignorant, an idiot, or both.

I don't quite know how to explain this..... Jose Iglesias is not going to smell the Major Leagues next season. There is a reason why player development is called player development. Again, under what logical scenario (emphasis on "logical") do you see the Sox bringing up Iglesias instead of Lowrie? Please provide me with logical reasons to counter the following: 1) Although he hasn't been healthy, Lowrie has proven he can at least be a league average SS, offensively and defensively. Iglesias hasn't. 2) With the enormous investment made in Jose Iglesias, why would the FO f*** with his development when there are both internal and external options to fix the SS problem short-term? 3)What has he kid anyone here, that would make them think he should be considered as a candidate to break the big club next year? 4) Does anyone here know Iglesias is barely starting to adapt to american culture? Under those considerations, why would you throw an impressionable 19-year who's undergoing both a cultural and playing-level adjustment into the fire of The Show? 5) If he was brought up, but not to be the regular, would that not hinder his offensive progress just as much as being the regular and having his confidence crushed trying to adjust to big-league pitching on the go? If you answered the above 5 questions negatively, then take a minute to take the rose-colored glasses off and understand that it makes no logical, strategical, or developmental sense to bring up Jose Iglesias even as a backup to the Majors. "Out-there" ideas are one thing, complete and utter fanboy-induced delusions are another. "Iggy". Jesus Christ.

For the love of all that is decent, take the time to read.

And you'd completely stunt whatever offensive upside he has and completely destroy his development by rushing him to the Majors. I can only ask you: Under what logical scenario do you give the nod to Iglesias over a Lowrie/Green combo?

Please take the time to read.

Scutaro. And yes, for the love of God, don't sign him.

Repeat after me: This FO can f*** up. They are not perfect. We can be objective about their mistakes. Repeat it until you can get it into your head.
