  1. I don't feel proud of that call and I'm sure you neither, but hell, our pitching was terrible. Anyway, I hope we have learned from this and set a solid rotation and BP if we want to be serious contenders next year.
  2. Well, as you said E1, seems that we are short in that department. The guy in the article says that the grades fluctuate specially in guys with B- and C+, so... Going to take a great effort to build the farm in that department.
  3. Good work win red sox. Well if the grades are accurate, we only have a B+ pitcher in Barnes, and other 3 Bs-, I'm not sure how to read this.
  4. Yesterday I watched an episode on MLB.TV and they said that our farm at pitching is close to 0 compared with other organizations, I don't follow that much AA, A, is this true? if yes, scary moving forward.
  5. I agree Emmz.
  6. I agree Emmz. The second paragraph is just about perspective. The problem with Lackey, is the time and the overall amount. I understand that you see it as year by year, regardless the dollars two years ago don't have the same value these days and still is not the best approach to compare those contracts. Sorry if I take this form an economic engineering perspective but since this is business as well, when you make a business case in order to evaluate an investment (player's contract) or even look at it in order to consider invest, you need to take the whole thing, I mean, n (period), i ( annual interest rate), and each cash flow in order to calculate the NPV (net present value) and IRR (Internal rate of return), otherwise your judgement wouldn't be correct. Said that, It's clear that Lackey's contract is far to be the same Buehrle's contract. There are +-35 M of deference considering that it was two years.
  7. More accurate 82 vs 54, should I oppose as well? I don't think so Emmz. I thought that we agreed that solid, healthy, proved SPs at FA is what usually make these days, didn't we? 54/4... For that guy, regardless is not prone to injuries seems fair to me Emmz. are they overpaid?, IMO baseball players, all of them are overpaid, they make tons of money
  8. While some posters make opinions about the team and the game, other posters, the only thing that do is insult and post annoying things about other posters called "pessimist". The funny thing my friend, is that they claim themselves optimist and die-hard fans. They also order to stop annoying and bitching like if they were or had authority or something, interesting how this board works I just get used to that crap
  9. Yup. It was a fair contract. He would have been an interesting option in our rotation.
  10. Ahora el de Estadounidences a ver que piensan. 1B Fielder 2B Pedroia 3B E. Longoria SS Jeter DH Young/Howard C R. Martin OF Granderson OF Hamilton OF Braun Mmm.... No se, sera este el mejor equipo de Estados Unidos?
  11. A ver seNores voy a intentar armar el mejor line up de latinos, a ver si les parece. 1B Gonzalez/Cabrera 2B Cano 3B Beltre/ A. Rodriguez SS Reyes/A. Cabrera C V. Martinez/ R. Hernandez DH Pujols/Ortiz OF Beltran OF Nelson Cruz OF Jose Bautista Pffffff equipazo... Algun equipo de estadounidenses podria ser mejor que este de latinos?
  12. El traductor de google no es exacto pero como ayuda de primera mano esta bien. De hecho, se entiende muy bien lo que ahi quisiste decir.
  13. Well, If Youk walks and we don't make an upgrade in our offense, I'm not sure if we can live all the season, let's say with Reddick/Kalish and probably Aviles in 3rd base, regardless Salty and Scutaro don't scare anybody. We'll see.
  14. I have a feeling that Beltran will land if Reddick and mostly Kalish walks. I'm not sure if they are seeing Kalish or Redick with a full time job.
  15. .... mmmm what I read from this is that Aviles/Scutaro plus some other top prospects like Lav and maybe Kalish/Reddick OR Youk plus a middle caliber prospect go to Oakland/Chicago.
  16. Well, he found out that some players that landed to Boston lately couldn't play ball either, the little problem my friend is that when he found it out he already paid them tons of money.
