    In all fairness, in this case JH opposed to that trade while it was on the record that it was Theo's big move and according to Bell cherries also wanted him.... As I said, FO executives have very little value on my book. They are commodities.
  2. iortiz
    yeah, reason why I think theres no point of comparison. Tell you what, Lets wait he hits at least the FA.
  3. iortiz
    Not sure how Kimbrel came to the table, but no, sorry he is not comparable just yet. While I do like Koji and Kimbrel, they still have to show 10 Y of duty as CLOSERS at MLB level with durability and consistency in order to make a case. Unfortunately I do not see Koji pitching more than 2 years at high MLB level. I even have my ?s for next year. Also while he was a star in Japan, as you said that league is not even comparable, so you just can not make a case either. As for Kimbrel, sure! he probably will be the best closer for the next 10 Y but lets give him time to consolidate first since a lot of things can happen and the injury phantom is always around mostly behind pitchers.

    Koji has 6 MLB years of duty, while Pap, 10. Also, Pap made it as closer, and Koji just made few closing appearances before coming to BOS. Again, they are not comparable.

    Thanks cp.

    Do not worry, You'll be blasted even if u show facts and stats anyway LOL! Feel free to contribute according to your thoughts and convictions.

    His interpretations are usually wrong. He claims to be the king of common sense and other BS, and he shows just the opposite. Anyway... Here in Mexico Soccer is our national sport it is what I played a lot when I was younger. I just played baseball in the streets with my buddies. Loved it. This year I was invited to be part of a team. Hopefully I do not kill myself trying hahaha.
  8. iortiz
    Yup, a lot speculation could be managed and it is oks, in the end this is what the board is about, isn't it. Btw, welcome.
  9. iortiz
    No, we do not. Pap could have saved those blown saves made by B and H. A lot of speculation could be managed and it is fine. ... also, Koji hasn't posted Pap's career numbers as closer. Do not take me wrong, I like Koji but they are not even comparable. Koji is one year wonder as closer. (sorry he didn't even close a full season in 2013). Pap has 10 Y of consistency and DURABILITY under his belt.

    While it is true, at the time the Phillies had arguably the best rotation and the best team in baseball and they wanted to round it with the best closer available, so they didn't hesitate... And still Papelbon has earned his pay check.
  11. iortiz
    I think 70% is high to me. It is a subjective thing but probably 50 % stats and 50 % scouting/intangibles would be my take.
  12. iortiz
    Do not worry about him, it is his modus operandi. You will be fine around here.
  13. iortiz
    We'll never know, but what it's a fact is that Cherrys asked for Papelbon when the two fat duo dynamico collapsed.
  14. iortiz
    Yeah, the forum is for civil discussions, problem is that you use it to make baseless accusations that are suitable to your nonsense modus operandi.
  15. iortiz
    I just presented facts. It is not my fault that you hate him.
  16. iortiz
    Not that good? 39 SV, 91% SV%, microscopic 2.0 ERA,, Solid SO, durability after 10 Y of duty what else do u want? Fat busts signed by your boys?
  17. iortiz
    Yeah! And as I said, they are very helpful, but In the end I consider as well other intangibles from several options that the model suggests, I said that as well. I recommend you to read the whole story before you post, no offense.

    According to JH, Theo wanted CC.
  19. iortiz
    Nobody is calling him idiot LOL! He is presenting quotes where Theo (who also has accepted himself to want CC at the time) and decision makers were who wanted CC according to JH. Also, nobody is claiming to know the whole story, he is presenting facts based on quotes. On the other hand you are only presenting assumptions of what you believe L did and accusations to a700 which are not even true.

    When you look at the busts and injury prone closers signed like Hanrahan (7 M), Jenks (6 M), Mujica (5 M), Bailey (8 M) and Thorton who didn't close but still (6 M)... The Papelbon departure was a mistake considering the fact that he has been closing pretty well in Philly, and most important, he has stayed healthy. On the other hand those fat busts have cost us tons of money and wins.
  21. iortiz
    You were already paying the same AVV in 2011 and his performance is kind of the same (even better last year, I would say), not sure what you are talking about.... and I'm not even considering the recent inflation in the last three years. If it is 10%, the NPV would look ridiculous, a bargain to me.
  22. iortiz
    Not sure what Phillies want in return but he made the job and has delivered for what he has been paid, which is save games.
  23. iortiz
    Not sure why they feel and act that way.
  24. iortiz
    While I do like stats, I think they are a bit overrated these days and some think they are the panacea, and they aren't.
  25. iortiz
    I think I saw this as well on ESPNBoston.com. Either way, as I said, FO executives and managers regardless the name/team are commodities to me. They give you little value and could be replaced easily. On the other hand players are specialties who put the real value on the table and hardly replaceable.
