I don't know if you're being serious or not

I wouldn't use a pitcher's amount of W's as an argument in a discussion. It makes you come off like someone that has no idea what he's talking about. But for comparison, career stats: CC: 3.66 ERA, 1.244 WHIP, 7.6 K/9, 2.8 BB/9, 121 ERA+ Peavy: 3.25 ERA, 1.186 WHIP, 9 K/9, 2.9 BB/9, 121 ERA+ adding to that, Peavy would come at a cheaper price (money-wise). I'd take him over CC.

So Woody will be playing against us next season... not cool :(

This thread should be stickied. And maybe someone could explain VORP and WARP? These stats have been mentioned on occasion but I have no idea what they stand for/what number is considered good. Maybe that's a good idea for the list: mention what number is considered good for each position.

Hey, let's see the Yankees put a 250-million team on the field this year so they can get their asses kicked by a bunch of 20-something year old Rays again.

Congrats. You know how to make yourself look like an ass regardless of outcome. That is a gift. You're also good at math. I'd rather be good at being a human, but whatever. hey at least nsbb is getting a lot of great articles on the front page out of this deal hey meph, can you copy and paste some more baseball america profiles on the guys we drafted better be careful, if you goof on him too much he might, say, make a blog that rips on you and various other members of this board. http://img514.imageshack.us/img514/4426/meph1am2.jpg

You aren't taking anything away if you didn't give them anything in the first place. Apparently, you have no idea what a parent feels when they see their kids come down the stairs on christmas day and see the smiles on their faces when they open their presents. Admittedly, neither do I, but I can imagine the feeling. When/If you have kids, you'll know what I'm talking about and you'll be alright with lying to them. Besides, it's not like your kid won't love you anymore when you tell them santa isn't real. I was brought up believing in santa, and I loved it. When they told me he wasn't real, I was like "Oh, that sucks... but do I still get presents?" children accept stuff like that pretty easily. Once again not Christian so my kids won't be getting presents for a religious holiday not of my religion. Kids will light up Christmas morning whether they believe you got the presents or Santa did. Do you all not think Jewish kids light up when they get their dradles? They are made of clay you know. You know, people do in fact celebrate christmas without being Christian. I'm atheist and so are my parents, but we celebrated christmas every year. Just not as a religious holiday, but as a time to be together as a family. Letting your kids grow up without christmas is cruel. It's by far the most awesome time of year as a kid.

As far as Dick Stockton is concerned, that's called reality.

...at least he got someone out this game. Some idiot swung at a ball that actually made it into the strike zone.

ESPN says it is. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/transactions

You're a bit of a drama queen, aren't you.

What's up with those pitchers? They seem to be in a nice groove

Wherever he goes, I hope he gets to win a WS in his career. He sure deserves it.

I don't think he'll care much about losing a spring training game to the Cubs. Oh, but he will. He's far more of a Cubs-hater as he is a Yankee-fan. Actually, I think he's only a yankee-fan because he owns a NY-hat and I said something about it, So he just replied "no, I'm a fan".

This would be awesome. hope they kick the Yankee's asses, so I can shove it in my friend's face (he's a yankees fan... but when I ask him to name 3 players on their roster, he can only think of ARod and Jeter)

Well, last year the Cubs lost the first but went on to win 97 after that. So I don't think it matters all that much.

Yeah, he seems to be patient yet aggressive. Oh, and the same goes for Carlos Rojas. 1 BB 18K? nice!

I think I read on this board he had one left. That's all I know.

Awesome. Lincecum is my second favorite pitcher (behind Harden). He has one of the coolest deliveries I've ever seen.
