    And he's a dog, just like his brother. Pass. Oh, and stop the reactionary posts please.

    Garret Jones plz.

    I doubt it's that much, given Mets financial constraints.

    Why sign depth when you can upgrade for a price that's not significantly higher?

    Two bad years, and a bunch of injuries. It's not "Low risk, high ceiling", it's "Low cost, moderate ceiling". I'm not one for hyperbole. Why go for crappy depth signings when they could have had a guy like Marcum for cheap and then figure out the rest along the way? You know, since Marcum has always had success as a soft tosser (in the AL East to boot) and doesn't have diminishing velocity and a pitful K rate.

    Lots of s***** pitchers made the Sox look bad last season.

    When he's on? He's been sucking for years and his velocity has decreased every season to the point where his average fastball is below 90 MPH. Don't let a fascination for the past blind you from the truths of the present. Dude's K/9 is below 6 over his career, his BB/9 fluctuates wildly, and so does his HR rate. With decreased FB velocity and moving to the AL, where are the indicators for possible success?

    The current roster is a bit more geared towards balance, with some speed and contact guys, some power guys, and some all-rounders.

    The problem is, he sucks.

    You can have the last word, otherwise you may not be able to sleep at night.

    Nothing lost IMO on Jurjjens. Marcum, whole different story considering he probably signed for pennies on the dollar, and can actually pitch.

    Spring Training sample sizes have little to no predictive value. This discussion reminds of a couple years ago when a near-retired Ivan Rodriguez went nuts and hit 8 HR'sin ST, then proceeded to hit 7 bombs the entire season.

    You keep saying that, yet Smoak has a higher MiLB homer total (for a season) and has actually hit for some power at the MLB level, unlike Anderson in limited chances. Check the stats before making these types of comments,.
  14. User Name
    Lars Anderson MiLB career high in homers: 18. Justin Smoak MiLB career high in homers: 19.

    That's why they signed Victorino right? And Jacoby Ellsbury's .349 career OBP and 48 BB/season average are both higher than the average MLB leadoff man. Where do you come up with this stuff?
  16. User Name
    Really now? I'm not the one getting called out left and right on the forum. You should worry about yourself more?

    Right, because the fastballs of Keith Foulke, Trevor Hoffman, and most lefty specialists are blazing.

    I actually thought of buying and enshrining a Kei Igawa Yankees jersey, citing his contributions to the Red Sox over the years.

    A league average American league pitcher least year had an era right around 4.50. Even with all of the question marks, I doubt any of them does much worse than that.

    It could be. But they apparently did some thorough research and concluded that it won't be. And for a guy without a degenerative condition, Youk sure has played like he has one the last couple of years....
  21. User Name
    Yeah but let's stick to a realistic scenario....if they pitch great, and the back of the rotation pitches like a back of a rotation and not batting practice, they have a chance. And it's very likely that the back three pitch at least league average innings.

    It's all about Lester and Buchholz

    Also, Napoli's .863 career OPS would rank him 11th among active first basemen, .04 behind Youk himself, and ahead of guys like Justin Morneau and, of course, Carlos Pena.
  24. User Name
    Last three years: Player A: .745 OPS. Player B: .844 OPS. Player C: .875 OPS What you're saying is completely and utterly incorrect. Napoli (Player C) has outproduced not only Pena, but also Youk himself over the last three years.

    I disagree. I think there were two really quality starters at bargain prices: Haren and Marcum. I wanted them to sign either or both, and i think that's a failure on their part given the rotation's lack of depth.
