  1. I'm still not fully convinced though. I think he'll eat innings, but i don't he's an upper 3's ERA guy in the AL. We'll see.
  2. It's comforting to see that Dempster can keep the Sox in the game without his best stuff and against a very good lineup. At least from my perspective.
  3. That's a different question altogether. However, he's been better than average with the glove, albeit in a small sample size.
  4. Crawford though, got a mega-contract although he had some glaring holes in his game. So i don't think the CC-Victorino/Dempster comparison applies. I think a more fitting comparison would be Victorino-Cameron, but even there you see the glaring problems in one (age) that the other one doesn't have.
  5. The point is that a lot of people ARE yelling exactly that.
  6. I am going to eat Lorenzo Cain's babies.
  7. I think he means you can't be sure Iglesias would have had it. He's right.
  8. Alex Speier: "It is unfair, but every time a ball is just beyond the limit of Stephen Drew's solid range, the ? is inevitable: Would Iglesias have had it?"
  9. And thus, the streak comes to an end.
  10. http://www.tampabay.com/sports/baseball/rays/rays-tales-former-rays-on-deck/2116428 Actually, here it is. Last paragraph.
  11. Was posted on twitter with a link to the article on various Rays subjects. Don't wanna raid my tweets looking for the link.
  12. That doesn't give people carte blanche to be idiots.
  13. You misunderstood my post. What i was referring to is that those who criticized the acquisitions as stupid and a waste of money before the players even put ink to contract have even less ground to stand on than those who think the acquisitions have been succesful. The second group at least has a Spring Training and a 1/10th of the season to base their arguments one. The ones who immediately started bitching and moaning had nothing to go on. You can argue that you could then use career stats to analyze the players, but then you'd be left with the idea that they were pretty good acquisitions, even if overpaid.
  14. So how can you accurately judge them before they've played an inning of baseball with the Sox? I think that's the main problem
  15. 3B Evan Longoria's opinion on the Boston Red Sox: "I'm nervous. I'm scared of them. I don't know if that's the word for it, but I think that they're a team to be feared."
  16. Farrell indicated Lackey will go on a rehab assignment starting tomorrow, but if he pitches well he could be activated immediately after.
  17. Excellent post.
  18. Actually you're right.
  19. He did VA. He got lit up to the tune of 6 ER in 5+ in the second game of the double-header against Baltimore.
  20. Fred, how many times did you see De La Rosa pitch? Did you see him enough times to make your take on him meaningful? Also, you're going against everything reported about the guy. Supossedly he's lost no velo after TJ, and his problem has been regaining control of his secondary stuff.
  21. Desmond Jennings turns an unassisted DP: http://sports.cbsimg.net/images//visual/whatshot/Desmond-Jennings-Rays-Athletics-8U.gif
  22. Josh Reddick decided to stop looking like a f***ing retard:
  23. Papelbon won in 2007 making league minimum. It's not about how good the closer is, but rather how much money he was making in this instance. Stick to the actual argument.
