What scares me the most is... if the Yankees don't get Lee, where does that 25 million dollars go?
-
Getting Cain is going to be like the Sox getting A-gon. Its a pipe dream, and probably not worth the prospects this year because the teams they're on will be contenders, and in the case of San Francisco, reigning NL champions.
-
Considering this was the "Year of the Pitcher" someone had to see it coming. When was the last time the pitching has been this damn good on the championship teams? Halladay, Lincecum, Lee, Cain, Oswalt, Sabathia, Hamels... All these teams had 3 very good starters, except for the Yankees who just didn't have the depth.
-
I've been saying it for a long time, and I've been saying it often. John Farrell was a disease to this pitching staff. I think this is the best thing to happen to the Red Sox since 2007. Hear it from me first-- the Red Sox's team ERA will drop half a point next year.
-
You know, I picked the Rangers as my favorite for the AL when they picked up Cliff Lee, but at times I barely believed it-- ie game 1. I'm incredibly surprised that they've steamrolled through both AL East teams.
-
I get the strange feeling that whoever wins the ALCS gets Cliff Lee. It probably helps Texas in that Lee has been moving to a different team every six months and is probably tired of it.
-
I still think they'll stand pat with their rotation. I've seen enough good in the back three of this rotation to think positively for next season. The team only needs one or two of them to perform around career levels, and that will give them an elite rotation, with what next year will likely be a completely revamped elite bullpen. Unless they can get good money for Dice-k, I think they have greater needs to be filled.

Is my account ever getting fixed?

Yeah, it doesn't get much better than 2. The Luca Blight fight is pretty epic. -
If Texas loses this game, they lose the series. Getting a win over the Yankee's only sure-thing starter is crucial here.

Dipre-- which Suikoden are you playing? -
I think that if Fielder/Pujols/Agon leave their respective teams, they will lose a considerable amount of fans. If Howard left, I don't think it would have been the end of the world in Philly. No more World Series runs, but still pretty damn good team.

Batting champions make big money. Batting champions at incredibly weak positions make huge money. A 3x batting champion, 1x mvp, 2x gold glove winner who very possibly could end up being the best catcher ever (aka, the weakest offensive position in the game).... well, they make the kind of money that Mauer makes. Of all the tools Mauer has... Vmart does not have them. And you didn't back up your other point-- Why is Howard not an indication for power hitting first basemen?
-
Offensively, he will have more value at SS or 2B. There are not many middle infielders who hit at his potential.
-
Low salary teams who profit off of their own mediocrity do not have a say in what market values are for players.
-
Deion Branch to the Patriots for a 4th round pick. Considering Moss got them a 3rd, this seems very very high. So... essentially, they traded a 4th and 7th round pick to upgrade from Moss to Branch?
-
The four years prior to Ryan Howard's contract, he averaged a 4.6 WAR. Howard got a 5/125 million per year deal. Texeira had a 5.1 WAR the five years before his 8/180 contract. Over his ten year career, Pujols has averaged a 8.0 WAR, and is very possibly the best hitter in the majors. He is as much a safe bet as you will find. He will very easily get 30 per year.
-
But there is a chance Pujols may be the Cleveland Lebron of St. Louis. Is one world series really enough for him? Besides Brad Penny, they're not losing much for payroll at all, and with them preparing to extend Pujols next year, I don't see them taking on too many large contracts this season. If they don't make the playoffs next year, who knows. I don't see the Red Sox giving Vmart any more than 3/42, maybe with one or two player options that pop up if he catches a certain number of games. They like him, but buying high on aging catchers is a huge risk.
-
Well, if Dipre is right, and they need to be around 100 million, with their 55 million, plus Ordonez and arbitration, they're around 80 million right there. They would be better putting that 20 million to places besides giving a long term deal to a catcher who may or may not be able to play at that position for long term.
-
Nothing is for certain, but Tito said he didn't want to get his emotions to get in the way of what was the best for the team, and he wished Tek the best. http://www.boston.com/sports/baseball/redsox/extras/extra_bases/2010/10/did_francona_dr.html
-
Unfortunately, there's always a worse offensive catcher. And considering they're letting Tek go, I can only imagine who the backup will be next year.
-
Well, you got three of them. Throw in 4) money and 5) Drives will take longer, so there will be more time for the defense to rest.
-
Daisuke willing to waive no trade clause, seattle interested?
Palodios replied to Yaz Sideburn's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
Dropping Dice-k for Doubront frees up cash and will make it mandatory for this team to pick up atleast two more bullpen arms. Who does this team have as a #6 type guy? -
-
I don't know what you're expecting from this team. Moss explicitly said he didn't want to be just a decoy but the problem with that is that if he's being double covered, it doesn't make a ton of sense to pass to him. So, he doesn't get a lot of throws, and he whines, which BB knew was going to get out of control eventually. When Moss does get a lot of throws, Tom Brady, whose greatest pride as a quarterback is his low interception numbers, the risk for interceptions is very high because there are always two guys on him. Its lose lose any way you look at it, so some of us are trying to see the good in the trade and what it means for the team.
-
This was another point I wanted to put out there. Either Brady would play long ball and succeed, resulting in a touchdown, or fail resulting in a punt. There has been a lack of long drives, and it doesn't help the defense. I'm not saying that losing Moss is a great thing that should be celebrated, but the fact is that his departure will put more emphasis on other sides of the game.
