Keeper

Sheets is a poor consolation prize for not getting Peavy. That said, I'd still take him in a heartbeat. Provided they don't sign him to a long-term deal.

Very clever. Putting words in my mouth is an excellent way to win an argument.

Eh, I kind of like Tebow. Plays hard, has a lot of heart. I don't know if his style of play will translate into NFL success, but for now he's a beast. I'd probably like him less if I wasn't so desensitized to athletes praising God after every game.

I don't think you know what the word "hyperbole" means.

Yes, that's exactly what I said. Minus all the hyperbole... :roll: Invariably, it will happen. When you have a bunch of injury-prone players, at some point during the regular season it all comes to a head. That's when you NEED a guy like Mark DeRosa.

I think one of them is a watch, but I'm not sure.

Quite the opposite. I'm just trying to guilt them into leaving me alone. It was a preemptive counterattack. :wink:

You'll be singing a different tune when Bradley, Soriano, and Ramirez all go on the DL.

Pretty much every fastball is a meatball, but when your changeup is that good, it doesn't really matter. A good changeup is probably the most effective and undervalued pitch in baseball. And, of course, I'll be flamed for saying that by the usual crowd.

Nice analysis, b and g.

In a retirement home. Seriously, he looks old.

Ew, Mike Hampton? Why don't we just get Mark Prior again and see how that works out...

Harsh. :-({|=

That's because Theo Epstein is a good GM while Hendry is not.

Legends like Bill Mazeroski, Tony Lazzeri, and Joe Gordon?
