Some of you people do your absolute best to turn this board as unreadable as possible. Shut the f*** up about your stupid squabbles and let's talk baseball.
Great post. Completely agree on both counts, but i would like to add that we also don't know to the extent that LL and ownership had influenced whatever problems PG mentioned.
Well we have 20,000,000 reasons a year to forcibly learn to love him.
Not to be a Theo apologist, but neither him nor Lackey look like Theo signings. To me, that reeks of Lucchino.
Supposedly the problem happened during CC's winter workouts, and it was not a pre-existing condition. According to the report, he called the medical staff as soon as he felt something was wrong.
I would give it a B+, simply because even though they gave up Noesi and Montero, they are rich in the two most valuable commodities in MLB: Catchers who can hit and SP.
Bailey? Where did i say no way he gets over 1.5 million? The only players i assumed would make less than a million were Morales, Bard and Salty. Already whiffed on Salty though.
I'm not saying it's not important. I'm saying the IP difference is not enough to claim massive superiority of CC over Lester. Let's be honest. 2009-2010 Lester was arguably better than CC. There are no reasons for us to think that Lester couldn't be arguably better than CC in 2012 again.
