    But the cost would probably be much higher.

    He relies on the defense behind him quite a bit, and the tigers have been awful defensively this past couple seasons. Couple that with his ability to dominate righties (negating the fenway factor) and he could be exactly what the doctor ordered for the Red sox.

    The word "elite" gets thrown around way too liberally around here.

    If Jones is the ther piece, then it's hard move to hate, even for the worst of the pessimists.

    This.

    Apparently Ben was working hard on this long before you had any idea about it. Maybe someone needs to wake YOU up.

    Whatever brah.

    Example of selective reading. Example of objective reading. "Sorry, it is what it is".

    You don't know what you're talking about.

    You absolutely ignored the point. McCarthy has proven he can be very effective in the AL, but he's very injury-prone. As far as providing innings go, Dempster is a much better bet. Whether or not he's overpaid or underpaid is inconsequential.
  11. User Name
    That's an interesting way to look at it. But i'd say those aren't the innings you pay 15 mill for. That's just me.
  12. User Name
    Why not both? And Dempester being actually healthy makes him a significantly better option for innings than McCarthy.

    No he doesn't. This whole argument started because he attacked my fandom, which is highly ironic mind you. You'd be pissed too if someone said you're a fair weather fan wouldn't you? Don't be a selective reader.
  14. User Name
    That's the point. He's had seasons with K rates near/over 9, and the last two years, his WHIP settled around the 1.26 mark, but is that really 15 mill production? And again, factor in the fact that he's moving to the AL. I'd be weary.

    I'd say that hitting on every offensive acquisition and every replacement for pitching injuries and trade pieces offering production is "everything breaking right". The Rays' 2008, with career years from a bunch of no-names is "everything breaking right". Agree on the O's.

    I think they'll trade Andrus in a Justin Upton package and then sign Michael Bourn to lead off.
  17. User Name
    Unless you're the Rays or A's.
  18. User Name
    I don't agree with that. His peripherals have been all over the place the past couple of years, and even though he had a good run with the Tigers, he's still an NL pitcher coming to the AL which brings with it a lot of question marks.
  19. User Name
    Define "pitcher of his caliber". I just don't see the awesomeness in Sanchez.
  20. User Name
    No he doesn't. He's not nearly as consistent, he has a lot of physical issues (Only twice has he had 600 + PA's or 140 games played in a season) and all of the addiction s***. Don't skim over the facts just because you like the player.

    You'd have to compare on a year-to-year basis, and you'd have to remove defense from the equation since it heavily weighs WAR in Hamilton's favor. In his ages 26-31 seasons, Manny put up a 32.3 oWar number in comparison to Hamilton's 23.7. Using this criteria (which is the one that should be used) Manny also has Hamilton significantly beat in WAR. Some of Manny's advantage because of the era is negated by the fact that Hamilton plays in the Texas bandbox. Manny's OPS+ for his career, the period you suggested and the period i suggested is not lower than 150 in any instance, while Hamilton's career OPS+ is 135. Hamilton is not in the same universe offensively as Manny, and making the comparison seems ludicrous to me.

    Back to Napoli, they better put some protective language into that contract if he does have hip problems.
  23. User Name
    No seriously. You had it coming. Stop being an idiot. You're the gullible one thinking you have any type of credentials about anything regarding Major League Baseball. If you did, you'd be sharing your "wisdom" with people much more important than the Talksox crew. You're just a blowhard. Do you ever shut the f*** up? About anything? Seriously? Mind your own business.
  24. User Name
    No. It just shows my aversion to some of the retarded statements you make and how much of a hypocrite you are. If you don't want people to question your fandom, then don't question other peoples'. It's not rocket science.

    Yeah my Lakers are sucking bad this year. I gave up on the season the second they hired D'Antoni.
