Over under or push: 4 career MVPs for Derrick Rose?
-
We're jelly because they got a guy was good at home, Safeco Field (aka where hitting talent goes to die) and sucked outside of there.
-
-
Yeah, no Morris. At least they got Bert in finally. Ridiculous it took so long. And yes I know Bert was last year.
-
Thats because Bud's a asshat.

Stanford faces Oklahoma State. Alabama just competes every year with Saban as coach.

And that's a very half-assed apology, but I'm really bad with that stuff. Sorry! -

QQ *Joins in on group hug* I'm not always a bitch, just 95% of the time, sorry for it : /warm moment. -

Yeah, I don't really like the idea of giving years to people in their 30s unless they're like Curt Schilling or Greg Maddux or something. I'd honestly prefer not to go with a 4 year deal on someone who's 32. I told you, I thought Lackey was like 2 years younger than he is though, I still didn't like giving 5 years to him. The money isn't the issue, I think the Sox sort of had to overpay because he was the top pitcher on the market, and considering how quickly the cost of pitchers is going up, they gave him a deal that they maybe shouldn't have for years and for a couple million per year too much. After year one of the deal I thought he could live up to it all things considered, but instead he started to play like he did at the beginning of 2010, and never regained control.
-
To make things clear, I wanted Buehrle too. But that's because I'm comfortable with overpaying if you get what was expected. I fully believe that he will live up to what he's expected to do, he's done it for like 10 years now consecutively. He's very solid. I just don't get how the same people who bash the FO for committing too much money to busts could be in favor of it. And when they don't go for it, there's talk about how the FO is trying to fill a roster on the cheap, and they're not committed to winning, etc.

I agree, but would you really want to pay 15M a year for what Buehrle brings? I think you have to justify the contract the same way you'd have to justify Lackey's when he was first signed.
-
TJ surgery can make your arm stronger, for what it's worth, and how is that relevant to 2010, where he was putting up career averages from what was it, June through the end of the season? He also pitched the last two years in full. Weren't the problems in LAA with his shoulder?
-
I thought the issue was always that 'Lackey was paid like an ace even though he's not one'. Buehrle is being paid like an ace by those same standards, and he's not.
-
You think your diagnosis of his arm problems is better than the Red Sox? Lackey's arm issues haven't even been a factor here, he's just sucked.
-
1 more year on the Buehrle deal and it's the same, and Lackey won't even last his entire contract. If you're opposed to one, you should be opposed to the other. I said I would never defend Lackey ever again, I did not say I think Buehrle wasn't overpriced.
-
he got almost the same deal that Lackey got, at the same age. -.-
-
You would've never came up with that yourself. It still doesn't explain the spending of the last two seasons. It explains two low-cost moves. I'm still waiting.

You still haven't answered how your take is rational, dude. RSN needs people who will direct completely unsubstantiated propaganda too I guess? :
-
both of the MLB Chicago teams are pretty well-known, and both sucked for most of the last century. Soooo, I'm not getting the reference there.

I don't get how the FO isn't trying, unless they're spending all that money on Crawford and Gonzo and Lackey while hoping/knowing they will bust. Do you even realize how ridiculous that sounds
