Spudboy

Put down the chicken and fried plantains and translate this link for the gringos. Por favor? Or pour some more.

I noticed. I'm in for 1-2 years.

This makes sense. Neither player will likely be signed by the Sox, however. We need a shortstop.

Wut?

Given this scenario, I would not be surprised if the Yankees sign Holliday. But I believe that they would sign him because they believe he will be an impact player for years to come. Especially since they have no current LF option and several of their elite performers are getting up there in age. I 'm sure Cashman and his cronies won't loose any sleep knowing that they have snagged a player that the Sox covet and actually need. But I don't believe that they would sign them to spite the sox. That's childish. And this is a very expensive business. And I don't buy into the idea that Holliday can't hit in the Al and that he has not proven himself (as Bay supposedly has) in the AL East. He is an accomplished MLB hitter and at least a competent defensive player.

The report says that it is 1yr./$3.mil and that he is close to signing.

Seeing how things are a little slow on the Baseball front, I thought it might be time for another meaningless Spudboy thread. I am asking all members to contribute their stories about meeting pro athletes. Maybe you were at an autograph signing. Maybe you met him (or her) at a store. Share your story. I'll start. Living in a major league city has provided me with a lot of opportunities to meet pro athletes. My most memorable concerns one of the most talented basketball players of all time. Connie Hawkins. In the spring of 1972 I was a sophomore in high school and a basketball junkie. At this time, there was a very big high school basketball all star tournament being held in Boston at Boston Universitie's Case Center. Teams from Chicago, Pittsburgh, New York, Washington D.C., Boston, and Atlanta were in attendance. Players? Adrian Dantley, Bo Ellis, Ricky Green, Ernie Grunfeld, Bernard King, Wayne "Tree" Rollins, and others. Prior to a game, I approached the coach of the Pittsburgh team under the basket. Connie Hawkins. He was a forward for the Suns at that point. 6'9" plus about 4" of fro. I'm about 4'10''. I started a conversation with him. He was a little put off initially. Who is this little white dwarf? How does he know my life story? I had just read "Foul, The Connie Hawkins Story". I offered my hand to shake. He extended his hand towards me. Holly s***! His hand enveloped my arm! Longest fingers in the world! We talked about his life in New York and the trouble he had experienced in college. Playing for the Globetrotters, and Herman The Helicopter. And Melvin Bennett. The star of his team. The conversation lasted about ten minutes. The memory has lasted a lifetime. I have other stories that I will share. How about you?

It won't happen. This is just camouflage. I don't know what Theo has in mind. I only hope he makes a prudent move (not signing Scutaro for 2-3 years).

I don't know. Buck is just so f***ing goofy looking. Then I look at Doc. Holly s***. Lackey would be worse. He is another horseface. Decisions, decisions.

Thanks y228.

I just have not been able to find a good explanation of how UZR data is acquired. I've looked. I've listened. I still don't understand exactly how the components of this metric are gleaned. Maybe ORS could help me to have a better understanding?

Weak as water.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-vI_KoyMIQ Not the best video but it sure looks like he just misjudged it by running in too fast or too far. Maybe he just lost sight of the ball. He f***ed up. Kind of looks like Bay there, too.

He misplayed the ball. Big deal. I don't think he was hot dogging.

If they sign Scutaro I won't loose any sleep. I will just loose some more faith in Theo. Three more years of suck? Really.

So would I. But I think Theo has a giant boner for Scutaro and will likely offer a multi-year deal for the guy. That I just can't fathom.

Boy did I f*** up. Sorry!

I'm not sure which thread to use but here goes anyway. Lou Merloni was endorsing Marco Scutaro. He says the Sox will likely sign him to a three year deal. I still don't like the idea. I think it's just more of the same mediocrity. I deleted my bonehead post.

s***. I agree with Dojji for the third time this week.

:lol: But he is more than 5'1"!!!!
