It's hard to say how a pitching/hitting coach could perform as a manager. As long as he can handle the egos, implement discipline and take the best from each player is good for me.

Youk's career numbers are great. No doubt about it. But... What do you really think about his tendency as a MLB player? Do you think that he is gonna stay healthy and will perform as a everyday 3B and put at least something around his career numbers the next couple of years? If the answer is yes, I wouldn't trade him, no way... Unfourtunatly, I don't see that scenario. IMO Santana's career is more likely going up and Youk's just the opposite. I don't see this trade happening, anyway. He will stay in Boston and I wish he can put at least something around .270/.380/.800 and MOSTLY stay HEALTHY .

I will point what I think is good or wrong in this team. If you want to debate about some topic about the game, we can do that. If you want to turn this personal, sorry but I'm not in.

My bad VA. I took it in that way. I'm sorry. And yes, a700 es mi compadre. Hehehe:lol:

1.- just because they come from the same team, makes them equal? I don't think so Pal. Correct me if I'm wrong but I have noticed that your arguments often rest on that you wouldn't bring a pitcher from other division to the AL East, but you let walk your ace in the pen and let somebody else unproved substitue him from other division? I don't get it. 2.- I said, if the deal is straight up, I'd do it, otherwise I would not. 3.- jacko already posted my concerns about Youk. IMO, Today, not career but today, Santana>Youk. Hell, I see a lot of red flags on Youk, seems like his career is not getting better but the opposite, but that's me.

Nope, I only would be a lot more pissed off. Just like any fan, I guess. And you? What would you do VA? If we fail again.

I didn't know that even puppets take time to hire

That is my concern/risks about Youk.
-
A guy who put a 3.3 and a 3.9 ERa the last two years and is making 11 MUSD is overrated and overpaid?, besides, is not like he would be here for 7 years or something, if he shits the bed, Cya in 2013 or take the option, as simple as that. I think that it could workout if we give him the 4th Spot, and who knows, if he continues that tendency, bingo! you have another SP for the coming future.
-
I wouldn't tolerate a 3-years in a row of no go to POs, or 4-years in a row without even win a PO game. I definitely wouldn't tolerate that again, would you?
-
Considering the risks around Youk and our need of a solid SP plus low budget, it could work out for us. He would be under contract till 2013 (option 12 MUsD). His ERA has improved the last three years. He was a 3.38 ERA pitcher in 2011 and he could put +- 4.0 ERA in Boston. He is 28. I'm not sure if LAA would like to make that kind of deal without prospects on the table.
-
Straight up? No prospects, no nothing?

Agree. And our pitching depth doesn't even exist. Am I correct?
-
He better wake up and soon. I do not buy that crap that still this is November and we have to wait till February or something in order to make a move... As soon as the team is assembled, the team would defenitely be in a better position to face the next season in any aspect. I'm not sure if our FO has that clear how they gonna fill the needed spots and/or at least already planed the 2012 offseason strategy. I hope so. While our team is spending time calling Sizemore's agent, dealing with Theo's compensation and interviewing a lot candidates for the manager job and not protecting our value assets (like Papelbon), other teams have begun filling their needs. Wake up Cherington. Sizemore, the manager, etc, are not our top priorities.
-
My guess is that Wilson is likely landing to NY/Nats and Buehrle resigns with the WS, at least there is not a juicy and substantial better offer out there. I'm not sure if someone put on the table a long term contract on him considering the 2013 FA pitching class.
-
Now that Pap is gone, my nice to have is: 1.- Bring a closer. 2.- Keep Bard as the setup guy and let him prepare for the closer job (1-2 more seasons) and let him share the load with the new closer (70%-30%) 3.- Bring a couple of SPs (4,5) or at least bring one and move Aceves to the rotation. Plus 2-3 BP arms, a couple of pitching depth, sign Beltran and/or Ortiz...and If there still budget, bring another RH OF (mostly if we only sign Ortiz)

Got u.

What is the media saying in Philli about Pap?
