I still feel that if Freddie had stayed in Boston, his chances of being in the Hall today would have been very good.
-
Thanks for the information. There is a good chance that my wife and I will make the trip over.

Swihart - Rodriguez - Owens

I'll stand behind what I said based on what I read. It was not stated as a fact. Honestly I could care less where they are "ranked". I made a credible point. No one would ever expect you to be respectful, but how about you maybe starting a conversation as opposed to simply attacking. .Oh wait - I think I can guess what's next. I am not on your lofty intelligence peak and have nothing of value to offer. You are a twister of words and a crude designer of insults.

Couple things here - He responded to me not the other way around. The numbers are correct - Owens 2 - Rodriguez 5- read the fine print. The upside of Rodriguez is greater than the upside of Owens. Not according to me according to whoever compiles the data. Read the fine print. You can defend that jackass until the cows come home if you like. If I say something that is my opinion then I guess that is my right. If I say it is a fact which I didn't then you can question it all you like.

Can you still get decent to tickets to Sox games in Fort Myers 700? I tried to sneak over there last year but everything was sold out. I am going to be in central Florida during some of spring training. I would like to see them play. I was out 5 times in 24 hours moving snow around up here. Tough place to be this time of year.
-
Yes I do. No one can write what he writes and not be a mean spirited person. Rarely does he create. He seems to only to rebut. The opinion policeman I guess. I am an Owens fan trust me, I just don't think that he is as far along as people would like him to be. I think that Rodriguez is ahead of him. Just my opinion I guess.

Breslow and Layne - Layne deserves a shot based on the way he pitched last year. I don't think Boston saw Renaudo even in a starting role. Possibly in the bullpen. If that is the case, it could be a good move. Problem is that none of their young pitchers other than Rodriguez project to even being close to top of the rotation pitchers. Maybe the thought is Owens but he appears to be behind Rodriguez. I still expect a move to be made at some point in time.
-
Was thinking that myself . I like Layne. Maybe more than Breslow.
-
Thanks for the advice Fred.
-
Thank you
-
potential=potential I guess. I don't like the trade myself. A young potential talent traded away. A starting pitcher nontheless. Renaudo is another one who might have needed a little more time.

An absolutely true statement. When I first started posting, I was surprised with the nastiness that seemed to accompany numerous posts from just a few posters. I struggle with this. Everyone has the right to express themselves. If there are people that think that their imagined intelligence gives them the right to little tolerance for opinions that they don't agree with, that is very sad. I've taken the bait myself a few times and I am not proud of that. I do not like people like this and would have no problem telling them that to their face. I would not do it on a forum board. Little man copout and that's it.

Oh man - that's it i'll let it go.

good - it's all good

Have fun - you won't regret playing. I am up here shoveling snow.

I'm pretty sure that I will get blasted again for not being able to back up some of the things I post with facts and stats. I have seen too many things happen with respect to athletics in general to make me think that everything is explainable. It isn't. Every now and then someone will do something that the stats say can't be done. Maybe it even happens often. I am absolutely uninterested in a discussion that does not recognize the human element that is involved in just about everything we see and do.

thanks - he doesn't bother me. This is a little hobby for me right now. He is a no-counter to me. His implication and interpretation of what I said was false. I would never say that you could not be an avid fan if you had not played or coached. That was ridiculous and unfair. I am a great fan of football - coached the game for over 20 years- never played a down. I am not sure that I ever really knew all of the intricacies of the game but I got by.
-
The Count has spoken - I am pretty sure your little buddy Renfield will chime in soon. You know nothing about me actually and I certainly don't care to know anything about you. I will not stoop to your level of name calling. Douchey and conceited - that's nice. I have been called a lot of things before but never those two. I didn't really mean to offend but I guess I struck a nerve.

Monbouquette - I am still quite puzzled as to how this whole sabermetrics issue is still being debated, discussed, and beaten to death. No one on the forum has discounted the value of using all aspects of evaluation. Is it really that much of a big deal to some of you how much value is placed on each particular method of evaluation. Is this being done simply for the sake of arguing? Is there another topic here if you dig a little deeper or what? Seriously - It just makes me wonder if there are people posting here that never really played the game. You can still be an avid fan - that's ok. I think we all get to believe what we want to believe.
-
Great articles written about Monboquette. His relationship with Pumpsie Green - Satchelle Paige pitching at the age of 59. Good stuff, good memories. bad teams. I listened to the game that Paige pitched in in 1965. Good story about a good local man. The fact that they were bad teams really didn't make any difference to us. It was baseball.
-
Manfred Mann? Are you kidding me? Are people going to let that one go? You talk about a 60's name - there you go.
-
Me too - I don't see any debate. We all agree just to different degrees. I think that is not a bad thing. I truly don't try to shove my opinion down anyone's throat certainly not when debating something like this. When I think baseball, I think teaching points. How to do the little things on the field the right way. Details - on the field- they are very special to me. I think that it is quite safe to say though that most people posting here don't care to listen to me talk about what I believe I know about the actual game. I am certainly a traditionalist just like you. If the actual nuances of the game have changed, I guess time just slipped right by me. I would much prefer to discuss whether or not anybody here thinks JBJ will come into this spring with a more compact tighter swing. If he does, he may have a chance and I hope he does.
