Michaels traded to Cleveland

Re: Pierre vs. Michaels...

 

There's got to be a reason why Pierre has been an everyday player every year, and why Michaels has never been an everyday player.

 

You're the first person to say this.

 

I'll say this, maybe Michaels does have some glaring deficiency that none of us have noticed, but maybe he doesnt, and the upshot is that he is better than Juan Pierre (hell, better than most CF in baseball), and all it costs to find out is Arthur Rhodes.

Forgive me, but I can't tell if you're serious or if this is sarcasm. :-k A number of posters have pointed this out.

Pretty awful deal for Philly if Michaels is as good as promised.

 

As who promised? Some NSBB folks? Rhodes is a respectable arm that Philly needs. Michaels is a spare bench player.

 

Rhodes, like all relievers, is inconsistant.

 

Michaels is a spare bench player with a .380 career OBP. If the Cubs had a lineup full of "spare bench players," they'd have one of the better offenses in the league.

 

The fact that the Phillies are settling on Arthor Rhodes for Michaels, tells you the value Jason Michaels has around baseball. He couldn't beat out the likes of Glanville, Ledee, and Bryd, for goodness sakes.

 

And that decision making got the Phillies what? A new GM?

 

So Jason Michaels is the reason Wade and Bowa aren't there any longer?

Decision making, not just that singular decision. I know youre just dying to argue, but at least read what he said.

 

Forgive me, but I can't tell if you're serious or if this is sarcasm. Think A number of posters have pointed this out.

 

What do you think?

I did.

 

And I do not think that everyone here thinks they are smarter than MLB GMs. I do think some people fall in love with players. Its understandble; I do too.

 

For instance, I still love Henry Cotto.

My mistake; I missed that.

 

And I resent your statement, BTW. I brought up an issue that I disagree with Tiger on. I don't see how that's any different from what others here do.

Jason Dubois is star in the making and so is Micheals remember we are all smarter than everyone working in MLB. Once everyone understands these rules we will all get along better.

 

I'm not sure I'm smarter than any GM's, but I'm pretty sure I'm smarter than someone.

If I honestly knew, I wouldn't have posted...

Getting back on topic now that the attacks seem to have ended, I think this is a great deal for the Tribe, assuming that they have the bullpen depth to cover for the loss.
