The Aramis Ramirez jab of the day for 10/19/07

In an article about Jerry Reinsdorf's possibility of getting A-Rod and Kobe Bryant no less.

 

Naturally, Reinsdorf also gets to stick it to the Cubs, who can watch Aramis Ramirez turn doubles off the wall into singles for the next five years while A-Rod hustles toward recognition as perhaps the best player in baseball history.

 

Rozner of course

Rozner is such a tool.

I didn't know he was that high on Ramirez's defense. ;)

Prime example of how some people deserve to be strapped to Doc's DeLorian at 88 mph and shipped back to the Wild West so they could run their mouth there.

So, I guess Kenny Williams backed off his proclamation that he'll never deal with another Boras client after he used the White Sox to land A-Rod his contract with the Rangers?

 

Seriously, I just don't see it happening.

It's a matter only of money, and you can be sure Reinsdorf's already done the math and pondered whether A-Rod's worth $300 million over 10 years as he becomes baseball's home run king.

 

That money would come back to the Sox five-fold in ticket sales, TV money, team marketing, jerseys brought, and -- best of all -- winning.

 

Moronic. 5-fold? Winning? Let's have a look at Texas' record while ARod was with the club, Roz. Explain to me how the dynamic would be any different with the Sox. It's identical. ARod would be *ALL* they would have. And they'd lose.

Not necessarily. ARod, Konerko, Dye and Thome could be a solid core for a couple years. Texas's record doesn't say a thing about what would happen to another team that took him on. Texas didn't make a mistake by paying ARod, their problem was wasting millions on much lesser players and having no pitching.

 

But you are right, I don't see them getting $1.5b in revenue off of ARod.

But the financial engine is very similar. The Sox aren't going to expand their payroll that much, and they aren't raking in dough like the Cubs. They wouldn't be able to keep around all those players. Dye & Thome likely on the big slide downward anyway.

 

And teams always need to keep improving. If you aren't improving, you're getting worse. You can't look at it in a vacuum. There will be future needs. Needs that won't be met because the Sox won't have the cash.

 

I don't know, it looks & feels like Rangers to me.

Did Ramirez boink Barry's wife or something?

At least in that scenario Aramis would be hustling.

I think jersey has a very good point about pitching, as much as I hate to admit the Sox have some decent pitching. Thing is, the Rangers prolly make more money then the Sox do. soemthing for someone to verify. In any event, I see about the same results, big name (arod) not doing much towards a championship.

Then he should be tied to the track and run over by the train that comes back to the present.

Meanwhile, I'll just skip ahead to 2015, when the Cubs finally win the WS.

 

(I think this post puts the threadjack at full speed.)

I hope Bruce writes another column where he subtly calls Rozner a douche.
