    .242/.381/.319 now lol. .156 in his last 10 games. So much for 'on fire'.

    If Bucholz & co. struggle then why not.

    Mussina retires

    diony replied to Gom's topic in Other Baseball

    Is not a bad stretch, the guy finished the season with 253 IPs, and like 3-4 of his last outings were with 3 day rests, what can you expect from that?
  4. diony
    Get Juan Rivera.
  5. diony
    Adam Dunn 2003 .215/.354.465 BABIP: .247 LD%: 18.6% Adam Dunn 2004: .266/.388/.569 Nick Swisher 2008 .219/.332/.410 BABIP: .251 LD%: 20.9% Same player type, power, walks and Ks. Just an example.

    Swish never adapted very well to the White Sox. He was used as the everyday CF (which is the position he's played less on his career) and as a leadoff hitter. The relationships with Ozzie Guillen were bad. If you know how BABIP and LD% can help you measure 'bad luck' then do so. He's the perfect fit for the Yankees because they need to get younger, athletic, with good defense and cost controlled. Considering what we gave up, it's a great move imo, and it'll help us a LOT.

    Nah I think he'll be #3, makes sense. I mean if he can go back to his A's form. Getting a good 1B that can provide good defense and above average offense wasn't so hard? I mean we tried with Cairo, Mienk, Andy Phillips, Betemit and finally!
  8. diony
    Swisher as a leadoff hitter is another no-no.
  9. diony
    Cashman stated Swisher will be the starting 1B. Damon LF, Gardner/Melky CF, and Nady RF. It already gives them option for their 2010 OF, when Damon/Matsui/Nady become FAs. Great deal.
  10. diony
    Yup they committed $26.75 millions for a bench player, righttt. Owens and his career OPS of .633 was going to be the starting CF. :thumbsup:
  11. diony
    Fixed
  12. diony
    I'm not quoting any article. And if you think he's going to sign for less than that, then you don't know anything about Lowe's stats and his agent. He won't sign for less than 60/4.
  13. diony
    Is Scott Boras, what do you expect?
  14. diony
    $60 million/4-5 years to a 35 year old pitcher? PASS.
  15. diony
    .290/.374/.471 in 84 AAA games. His K% was 27.3%, you can expect those numbers to rise in the majors. His BB%, was 11.9%, who's gonna pitch around a backup Catcher? His BABIP was .363. Hmmm smells like.... FLUKE
  16. diony
    They want to develop WDR and Coke as starters.
  17. diony
    Yeah he has been in the minors or 8 seasons so far, because he's soooooo GOOD. He's the 2nd Catcher of a AAA team, Wow niceee. :thumbsup: If he's so great, why he didn't got a callup while Varitek was hitting like .200 at least as a backup. Maybe because they're not so high on him? Because everyone agrees he got nothing? And he won't put an offensive near Tek's in the majors, because he'll never play a full season in the majors. He was considered the 3rd Catcher for the Red Sox this season, even Cash was ahead of him. So how's that "A la Varitek"? Screw Salty or Teagarden, according to you Dusty Brown is the next Varitek. You showed the greatest arguments ever, based on "Stfu" pics, lame imo.
  18. diony
    Hmm what? You totally changed the subject. All I said it took Dusty Brown like 6 years to go from A- to AAA, where he finally putted an above 'average season', (even if his K% was around 28% that's kinda close to Adam Dunn's). You claim he did it "A la Varitek". How is that "A la Varitek"? At age 26, Tek was already in the majors fighting to get the starting role. At that age Dusty Brown was splitting time in AAA with Kottaras. At age 27, and his first MLB full season, Tek hitted .269/.330/.482 with 20 HRs. Next year, Brown will probably do that, yeah in the International League, during his 9th season in the minor leagues. So how's that "A la Varitek"?
  19. diony
    Lame. He was drafted in 1993 by the Twins and he did not sign. Then he was drafted again by the Mariners in 1994, then signed to play an Independent League until he finally agreed terms with them and started playing in the Mariners' minor league system in 1995. Know Google? Yeah I think you do, because you googled that picture just to make an ass out of yourself. Posting a 'Yoda' pic to prove a point, pathetic. Great job, know take time and do some research, and get to know your OWN players. How a 1st round player like Varitek compares to Dusty Brown? Because according to you Brown did it "A la Varitek". It took Brown from 2001 to 2008 to put his first 'above average' season in the minors. What a joke. Comparing Varitek to a 3rd Catcher, wooho. :thumbsup:
  20. diony
    Varitek started his minor league career at AA. Took him less than 3 years to debut with the Red Sox in 1997, or well 1998. Way to go dude.:harhar:
  21. diony
    Melancon is a stud.
  22. diony
    Yeah is not like it took him 6 years to reach AAA and put the first above average season if his minor league career.
  23. diony
    ^ Greatest post ever.
  24. diony
    AAAA
  25. diony
    I would take Derek Jeter over those 3 anytime. Who cares about the stats? Season stats don't matter when you're in a world series. RRRata. And Jimmy Rollins is not better than Jeter, and even if he is. He'll never have a career as good as Derek's.
