You agree? Oh, I see what happened there. I had a typo, I meant underrated, not overrated:lol:
-
I didn't say you were wrong, I just meant that you and AtWork were working under different knowledge of how the luxury tax operated, and you both had some things rights, and some wrong. Considering the depth of the conversation, I find it very implausible that you wasted all that time arguing against number that you had originally cooked up yourself. As far as the accusations... well, you've probably already met a700:lol: Either way, AtWork contributed a lot to this board, and so do you, so I could care less.

The Boston Globe said that Aceves will be competing for a spot in the rotation for 2011. They have also considered moving Bard as well.

Would it be possible to rename this "2011 Yankees Offseason Thread"? I usually shoot through the "New posts" list, and I keep jumping to this one accidentally. Thanks, Pal

The Marlins have a very exciting team. Its a shame they play in the east.

User Name may or may not be Dutchy... but he is definitely not the same person as AtWork. AtWork was the last person you suspected was Dutchy, right? We argued for a few hours about whether Atwork's work on the Red Sox financials was accurate, and clearly did not have the same knowledge on the subject that AtWork did.

Papelbon's numbers are heavily skewed by his earlier years. Some stats to consider 2006-2008 ERA 1.70, WHIP .837 BB/9 1.7 3 All-star appearances 2009-2011 ERA 2.89, WHIP 1.10 BB/9 2.8 1 All-star appearances He was a significantly better pitcher in his first three years. He's being paid off those numbers rather than the last three years.
-
Both players are overpaid. And I'm not talking "per year", I'm talking overall. Papelbon's overall is going to be the largest.

You may have left out the fact that he came in 38th in ERA. Seriously, there are thirty seven relievers in baseball who allowed fewer runs come across the plate. If that doesn't convince the realists, I don't know what will.
-
Papelbon got the largest contract for a closer ever. Lackey got contract valued around what #2 pitchers generally get. Papelbon is not the best ever... and probably won't even crack the top ten in his career. Lackey atleast looked like he was a #2 at the time.

Okay, someone here convince me. What exactly is so great about Papelbon? Throw out some stats, something, that says he's anywhere remotely as good as he was in 2008. Its one thing if he still performed to that level... but I just don't see him deserving the largest closer contract contract ever.
-
Thanks for digging that up!
-
His ERA was excellent, but his walks and WHIP were way up, and he also had 90% LOB numbers. That's 90% LOB with Vmart as his catcher for half the year. Lucky is a better word for his 2009.

Fixed.

Many of the national and local writers are saying the exact same thing I am. This move stings today.... but its still an absolutely terrible contract. http://www.bostonglobe.com/sports/baseball/2011/11/11/papelbon-departure-stings/bxTDYN1NrhQ1YzXQI3f1JO/story.html http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/blog/big_league_stew/post/Papelbon-signs-with-Philly-for-60-million-shi;_ylt=Aine_HzdnHanjIXJlBCsUCI5nYcB?urn=mlb-wp26756 http://insider.espn.go.com/mlb/hotstove11/story?id=7220970&_slug_=2011-mlb-free-agency-pitcher-jonathan-papelbon-signs-phillies&action=upsell&appRedirect=http%3a%2f%2finsider.espn.go.com%2fmlb%2fhotstove11%2fstory%3fid%3d7220970%26_slug_%3d2011-mlb-free-agency-pitcher-jonathan-papelbon-signs-phillies

Florida sports are an oversaturated market.

He's 37. 1/8 would probably work just fine.
