This. I laughed just because you can't take a comment like that seriously. Just the whole post in general.

Red Sox Acquire Melancon For Lowrie, Weiland
Emmz replied to Laser Show's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
Dojji's off with Tug Hulett last I heard. -
Who the f*** is Milton Berle, you old farts.

Never disagreed with any of that, but you're trading a health risk who can hit but at least tries for a risk who may or may not try, but is healthier, younger, and defiintely has the upside. By all means I'm in favor of cutting ties with aging players, but for someone like Hanley is a risk in itself.
-
Youk played better last year and the years leading up to. For someone who's so bothered about downward trends, you're pretty sure about Hanley. You should make up your mind what you do and don't consider trending down. I actually would be in favor of it if they could fix the swing issue right away. All last season his swing was terrible because of that weight he put on to be more of a power hitter. That's why he was so bad last year, I said it earlier, it's the swing/weight issue. The thing is that Hanley's a head case, and if he doesn't want to do something he won't do it. He doesn't want to play 3B for the Marlins so he wants a trade. He doesn't feel like hustling, he doesn't do it. I don't see how that's not a concern for fixing his swing and losing the weight he put on.

Hanley has the upside no doubt, definitely healthier too, but that's just too big a risk to give up one of your best hitters for.

I think the low risk is the financial risk when you're talking about these types of deals though. There's a risk not to produce for every player, even someone as proven as Pujols could get hurt or something and fail to produce.
-
Youk's been the better hitter for the last 4 years dude. Yeah he can steal bases, but he also f***ed up his swing by trying to bulk up, and is a half-asser. That's a legitimate mechanical flaw that I'd like to see fixed before I trade a better hitter for him, that's just silly IMO.
-
I disagree, if said player has a high ceiling and the amount you sign them for is low, that's low risk high reward. Garcia and Colon were, as much as I hate to say it, two guys who had past success, high ceiling, and didn't ask for very much money because of that. Same with Beltre when they got him, that was actually just a steal of a deal, because for some reason everyone forgot he was playing in Seattle and still put up pretty good power numbers, plus his naturally excellent fielding skills, that was a low risk, very obviously barred injury was going to produce on the high reward too. Same goes for Abreu when they got him on the cheap. I think any contract that's 10 years or over 20M per year is a high risk regardless of who it is, or how good they are.
-
Well he did get that big contract.
-
Well the Twins don't dumpster dive for everything, they built an incredible bullpen and good contact hitters and won with small ball. They built a good team, and while I don't think that dumpster diving is the greatest practice, it shouldn't be knocked. Especially when said team also built a good part of their team from the minors as well.
-
Albert Pujols can go get it.
-
I know! Billy Beane's teams were more dominant but for a shorter period of time. I think he's a good GM, but Ryan was incredible, and very smart. Smith was just a fool, Ryan never made trades, and Smith demonstrated why. I think Ryan is temporarily stepping in, I wish he would make a full comeback just to fix what his guy destroyed.

I got paid big bucks for that. In fact, I get royalties because of the sickos who still watch that kind of stuff. My sponsors are grateful.
-
LMAO.
-
It'll cost you, unless you give me a signed crown or your bat from when you hit .700.
-
Yes, your majesty. *bows to king of talksox*

You might need it for your excursions as Lucky Pierre with Jete and A-Rod. Ready to give up yet baby?

How can there be cheating without a relationship? I'm just having a good time out there.

ROFL. @Jacko.

Jeez sounds like stupid women aren't the only ones who'd throw themselves at Jete. I think you and Jacko have taken too many trips through Jete's back entrance, nahmsayin?
