    Expecting ace performance from Porcello? Not at all pal. If he post an ERA around 3.5 (No 2. Type) or in terms of WAR around 3.5 (good player), I will call it deal. Put that in your sig.
  2. iortiz
    oh, that is a very different animal. Some here were saying that this FO is expecting what he has shown in the recent past which is something around 2.5. I agree with you, I think this FO is expecting more from him to justify this contract. If he continuous posting a 2.5 WAR in the next four years, this contract will be a disaster since as far I remember no one with a 2.5 WAR track record is making 20 M. As you said time will tell, though.

    Again, how many pitchers with a 2.5 WAR track record are making 20 M these days aside Porcello? it's a honest question.
  4. iortiz
    The NPV is practically the same compared with the number I presented.
  5. iortiz
    Pessimist? Naaahh, it is just that this pitching staff isn't encouraging at all to me. On the other hand our offense to me is one of the best in baseball.
  6. iortiz
    Hate to say that the first one is closer to reality than the 2nd one to me, but hopefully the No. 2 is the real deal Pal. The number 3 is hilarious.

    ....only if we still alive the by the time which worries me a bit given the pitching. Given the list above for middle-rotation guys I only like Kazmir. Cueto IMO is pipe-dream. While out there probably will be options, it will be tough to trade for someone worthy, though.
  8. iortiz
    Yup, that's why one thing are the projections, and a very different animal what in real life happens. Probably I'm wrong, but I do not see any SP with a track record of 2.5 WAR/Y making 20 M.

    According to FG, Porcello is a Solid Starter in terms of WAR. Wonder how many solid starters are making 20 M these days. FG use a 4% rate to calculate the inflation in order to project salaries, if true, his contract in terms of NPV is around 72 M. Once again, how many solid starters are/will make 18 M in the next 4 years. Scrub 0-1 WAR Role Player 1-2 WAR Solid Starter 2-3 WAR Good Player 3-4 WAR All-Star 4-5 WAR Superstar 5-6 WAR MVP 6+ WAR

    scaring new posters? really?

    Everybody makes him contact at plate. I do not like pitchers who depend a lot on their defences to get outs. He is not a swing and miss pitcher, so as OU said, the BABIP death will kill him sooner or later. A lot have been said about him but time will tell, though, just like it has spoken for Papelbon who is still saving a lot games and earning his pay check.
  12. iortiz
    Because he is a No. 4, at best No 3. His age does not justify 20 M. His stuff doesn't worth 20 M, not in this earth. On the other hand we agree on Pujol's contract, it is a mess.
  13. iortiz
    ...and it is fine! Some posters say that we agree in everything, can you believe it? haha BTW, I have already a bet regarding Porcello with you right?
  14. iortiz
    You are taking this in the wrong way MVP. I think my pal already explained this better than I could.
  15. iortiz
    ohh that, LOL!. I was joking around. C'mon MVP where's your sense of humor man? hey Kimmi, If you got offended for this, please accept my apologies, I think you didn't take it in the wrong way as MVP did but just in case, I sincerely apologise.
  16. iortiz
    Haha we'll see my friend but if I lose I think that the finest beer here is "bohemia", I think you'll like it, but if you have other brand in mind at the time you let me know. Good luck!
  17. iortiz
    Sure, who else want to bet?
  18. iortiz
    Sure compadre, a case of beer contest sounds great! I'm in.
  19. iortiz
    P Wow! 1. First off, yes! in the beginning I was willing to bet only money since I felt that some of you were so sure about Porcello that I found an opportunity to make some cash, you can't blame me for trying, right? LOL! 2. Then I accepted to bet my sig under my conditions. YTON was one who were interested but in the end he passed which is fine. Then Kimmi said that my conditions were kind of unfair but in the end she accepted, so, I can't accept more than 1 sig bet right?. 3. Where in the hell I told Kimmi that she can't bet because she's a woman? I'll wait.

    Around here means where I live. Here it is the civil way to solve differences and It is for fun and to put more pepper to the thing and make it more interesting. Not sure what is the big deal, It is not like I'm betting my house or my cars.
  21. iortiz
    Seems like Pujols is done. The age is starting to tax him.
  22. iortiz
    Well, I have never put it that way but it could apply LOL!
  23. iortiz
    Dean's mojo wouldn't help Buch anyways, Buch needs what "la bamba" says, "un poco de gracia y otra cosita" LOL!
  24. iortiz
    It's for fun YTN, with his performance of today, probably some could change their mind about the bet, but oks, I let it go, no big deal. My offer is officially closed
  25. iortiz
    I thought you had me on ignore. What happened?. Again, while I talk about baseball, you insult me. Keep going.
