    This is the biggest load of crap i've ever read. No offense.

    Reactionary much? And trade Beckett AND Ellsbury for one pitcher? Seriously?

    Is this serious?

    Sure, you love his 3.12 ERA, but how about his 1.31 WHIP or his 4.1 BB/9 and and .070 point differential in SLG% allowed on the road compared to home? Don't become enamored by the ERA of a pitcher who pitches half his game in Oakland and is wilder than a Cowboys fan after Yoko Romo actually completes a decent deep pass. Pass on Gonzales.

    Why would the Sox trade for him without extending him? That doesn't make any sense.

    That's obviously exactly the opposite of what i was saying. And didn't Pedro have surgery and then lost velocity on a year-to-year basis until he went to the Mets? Pedro was a gamble that paid off, but would Lincecum pay off as well and hold up through the duration of the contract?

    People can post in whatever thread they want, provided they bring something to the table. Get over yourself.

    Park-adjusted ERA is not perfect. It uses ballpark factors which are usually affected by division and team offense, it also averages the "mid-point", which undermines the nature of the AL East. It's not a perfect tool to evaluate how a pitcher would fare changing from the NL West to the AL East. I'm not saying he wouldn't be effective, but there's the realistic chance that he may not be the best pitcher on the staff if he moved to the AL East, while costing elite talent and making huge money.

    I worry about Lincecum's body holding up, for one. I learned with Pedro Martinez that scouts usually know what they're talking about when they say that a guy's body may not hold up for the long term, and with Lincecum's velocity dipping for three straight years (though it picked up a mile this year) you wonder if that strange motion isn't going to screw his elbow up eventually. And trading for him would make no sense if you aren't going to extend him, and he'll require lots of years and lots of money. The other issue is that you're paying a premium in players for a guy who may not be as effective in the AL East. The NL West is very forgiving. All in all, i'd keep my offense intact and go for a Buehrle/Jackson type while focusing on the bullpen, which is a problem yet again, and get a pitching coach that forces those idiots to stay in shape.

    *Over his career. Wood is a pipe dream. He's been very vocal in saying that it's Cubs or bust.

    Agree to disagree then. Oh, and that. ^

    So the Tigers are going to trade Scherzer (cost controlled pitcher, huge upside) and prospects for Beckett and 5 million? Get real.

    You haven't provided a situation where the Sox receive fair value for Beckett. If they can't, then they shouldn't trade him. Whether or not he can repeat 2011, when he's healthy he's very good.

    You're kinda setting the record for logical fallacies in a day.

    I was unaware that he was a Type A. Good point.

    What do you think of Willingham? Guy can flat-out hit, healthy, but his D isn't that good.
  21. User Name
    Josh Willingham? .839 OPS, 125 OPS+, 7.1 WAR since 2009.
  22. User Name
    Yes, if the FO fixes the clubhouse. (At least as far as him "breaking down" at the end of the season goes.)
