Impressive.

I voted Theo's baggage, but missed Lackey in that baggage BTW it is not precisely due Theo's value
-
SCM33's prophesy in effect... Heads continue rolling... who is next? Bogar? Lackey?, we'll see.
-
If LL was the intellectual author of the last 3-4 years mess and Theo was only a puppet, LL should walk and assume the accountability. If not (likely), I'd be skeptical too, if this Cherington takes the job.
-
This is exactly what worries me the most. He deferred the answer. Sounds like he is leaving the door open in order to continue this country club environment. At least come out and say typical cliche answers like "We were wrong and we will learn from this" like Buch and other said or something, but for God's sake, show a little bit of smartness on this. As Yazman said, this Cherington sounds like the new LL's puppet. If this is the kind of leadership that is coming, I would be very concerned. You won't pitch/bat today? go and do some work-out or practice your mechanics/fundamentals or go to the cage or study your next opponent or something --I wonder, where in the hell was the conditioning coaching staff at this moments, drinking and playing nintendo as well? -- Again, this is not about beer (1 of n issues), this is about professionalism and show respect to your teammates -- especially the rookies --, organization, fans, etc. but especially to yourself as a professional.
-
Really? I'm wrong then. Sounds like a best practice. You're kidding right? BTW... Of course alcohol is not the root of the problem, but maybe is one of those 25 issues on this team that we need to clean up.
-
I'm not sure what you mean with "they", but this is not about hate E1, this is about professionalism and at least behave and give your best in and out the field. They make tons of money in order to at least do that. You always can find times and places for everything.

Sorry SCM33 this is unacceptable. You know that I share your ideas and I like the way u see the game but this comment (Cherington's) is simply unacceptable. I'm not a saint, I'm far to be one, but this is a professional sport team, and since their performance depend on their good conditioning among a lot other, this is not a trivial thing. This team has a big lack of professionalism and leadership. As I said, we need people (GM, manager, coaching staff, etc.) with a strong hand and strong leadership skills, someone who executes disciple in all aspects.

Is this our brand new GM? Really? WTF?

You should be my business advisor! :thumbsup:

Welcome mate, Enjoy!

If he had put his career numbers or something around we would have made the POs.
-
I definitely have more hopes in Crawford than Lackey, But still my hopes doesn't take away my big disappointment about his 2011 performance. He better put the numbers or his signing could turn out into one of the biggest frustrations in our history since the terms of his contract.
-
Really? Hahahaha
-
They should recall it the optimisticfangraphs
-
Which ERA range would you expect from him? I would expect and being optimistic a 5.0+ ERA which is something in the middle at 2010-2011; 1.4 pts. below his 2011 record (6.4) and 0.6 pts above his 2010 record (4.4). If this even happens, I don't want him at any part of our rotation, do you? What worries me the most about Lackey beyond the stats is his delivery the last years. It is getting worse and worse. His fast ball is a complete joke. But That's me.
-
Where would you put 2011 Crawford? He is on the edge. He is 0 WAR; in the bench list or in the J.L./AJ classification?
-
It's ok man. Don't worry. If you think that about Lackey, I respect that, but still I don't see how he could come back, but that's me, anyway... You will notice that some people here use advanced stats (sabermetrics ) in order to support their arguments like WAR. "Wins Above Replacement, commonly known as WAR, is a non-standardized sabermetric baseball statistic that is used to show how many more wins a player would give a team as opposed to a "replacement level", or minor league/bench player at that position". --WIKI If you like stats, you can find the meaning and some tables of advanced stats here http://www.tangotiger.net/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page http://www.baseball-reference.com/ Welcome, again.

Hell, This reminds me the Runaway Train chorus by Soul Asylum "RUNAWAY TRAIN NEVER GOING BACK WRONG WAY ON A ONE WAY TRACK SEEMS LIKE I SHOULD BE GETTING SOMEWHERE SOMEHOW I’M NEITHER HERE NOR THERE..."

Welcome!

I'm not sure how much money SD is putting on the table, but at least I would use the remaining money as a part to bring another decent SP or something. It is definitely not a good business but We won't see any penny back from him anyway --As I said, Lackey wasn't profitable even in 2010 in terms of ROI (I already shared the table) -- so... I've seen enough from him. IMO he is done. so... We should turn the page, and unfortunately eat great part of his contract. 80 MTheollars, Huh?... That hurts.

What weighs more in the OBP stat, hits or walks? what is typically the mix percentage between these events? which event is more difficult to execute?
