Sounds great man... Have fun!

The environment reminds me the place I born, Veracruz. A lot Latinos in Miami. I like this team too.

Playball gentlemen. STL 2- Mia 0...

As Ted's sign says...talk's cheap. Let's go play. Miami stadium seems awesome. Mike, you should be there man! Seems incredible.

Because they are. I already showed you, but probably I did not convinced, but it doesn't change my point of view unless I find out valid arguments.

In Mexico the holidays for some of us started today "Semana Santa holidays". I think I will go to a bar today and for the RS game I think I will watch it in my place with a couple of six packs . You?

I'm not completely sold with this decision but if it works for us I'll celebrate.

I do not want to fight. I'm just sharing my ideas and opinions.

get caught? Sounds like you are FBI or something and I'm a criminal C'mon ORS it is only a point of view. I have no problem with long term contracts. Avoid them is not the solution. Each case is different specially when they play different positions. Do not be surprised if they sign a big fish in 2013. No problem at all. I'm just saying that their contracts/situations are different. I wouldn't compare them. If you want compare Adrian Gonzalez/Votto/Fielder/Pujols/Teixeria you probably could have a better case, but compare Lackey/CC/Pap contracts doesn't make sense to me. You are comparing apples with pears. If you think the opposite, it is your opinion and I respect it but I do not share it. And yes... they should learn from the past. I'm not sure if they have. They let walk a healthy/solid/proved closer and instead they brought an injury prone player. On the other hand the strategy/plan could work out as I said early. It depends how you want to see the glass.
-
Their positions are different. The lenght of their contracts are different. The amount of their contracts are different. Their background are different. Etc. As I said, I do not see them in the same boat.
-
Sorry, they are not in the same boat. I do not see that way. I'm not against long term contracts. I've said this over and over again. Each case needs to be analyzed. Pap's case is another case.
-
See Mo. Why not to think he can make something aroud Mo, regardless he pitched in the same division. Anyway... That is only my opinion.

I do not share that in a yoy perspective. Hell, he is still young, he is more mature, he is healthy, he has put the numbers, etc. All the signs tell me that he'll be ok. I'm not sure why to think in the other way.

I think you pay the money based on the past. He has the numbers. He has shown durability. IMO he earned/deserved that contract. Sure only time will tell whether it is worth. In the end nothing is sure. Philly bet that it will worth. I'm with them. Red Sox and some around here think it will not worth. Only time will tell.
-
I think the difference between you and me is the way we see the case. You are worry about the length of the contract, you have your reasons. I'm not worry about it at all considering his career numbers and durability. The plus I see on him User is that he was already proved in your environment. Anyway, only time will tell who was right about this.
-
We have discussed this plenty. I don't share your point of view. When you are the best in whatever you do, you succeed. He is one of the best in what he does. Close games. Save games. This job is not trivial. On the other hand our strategy could work out. I'm optimistic, but he deserved that money, like it or not.
-
This guy has been solid/healthy/proved in our environment. We have paid him that money. I do not see a decline for the rest of that contract. He is still young and most import: He is HEALTHY. IMO he is almost irreplaceable. Good things in live are expensive. I want to see a guy with that durability/performance again in Boston. He CAN NOT be treated as another reliever. He is special, reason why he received that money. Our FO was not interested on him. They had an entire season to put the contract on the table. They did not. They decided another strategy. Hopefully this pay out. I'm optimistic about this but only time will tell.
