    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.
  2. Keeper
    Very clever. Putting words in my mouth is an excellent way to win an argument.
  3. Keeper
    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.
  5. Keeper
    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.
  7. Keeper
    Quite the opposite. I'm just trying to guilt them into leaving me alone. It was a preemptive counterattack. :wink:
  8. Keeper
    You'll be singing a different tune when Bradley, Soriano, and Ramirez all go on the DL.
  9. Keeper
    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.
  11. Keeper
    In a retirement home. Seriously, he looks old.
  12. Keeper
    Ew, Mike Hampton? Why don't we just get Mark Prior again and see how that works out...
  13. Keeper
    Harsh. :-({|=
  14. Keeper
    That's because Theo Epstein is a good GM while Hendry is not.
  15. Keeper
    Legends like Bill Mazeroski, Tony Lazzeri, and Joe Gordon?
  16. Keeper
    Hahaha, no. But I don't hate the Sox like some Cubs fans.
  17. Keeper
    Begs the question: Should Harold Baines ever get into Cooperstown?

    129th all time in RBI!! 50th in DOUBLES!!! 245th IN RUNS SCORED 395th in Batting average. Enshrine Buckner! I didn't say he was HOF worthy, but those are pretty damn good career numbers. Anyone who knows anything about baseball would agree.
  19. Keeper
    One minute you're using OPS, the next minute you're back to using these stats. Come on, buddy. Guess I should have quoted him. "It'd be great if you tried to prove your theory by comparing Pods to actual good players. Buckner was not one of them." -E.J.
  20. Keeper
    Bill Buckner and Maury Wills? Are you seriously comparing Scotty Pods to these guys? They played in a completely different era and completely different ballparks. Maury Wills' career was played entirely during a dominant pitching era. Buckner was nothing like Podsednik. Period. I'm only comparing the OPS, which came under heavy fire for Pods.
  21. Keeper
    My mistake. What was I thinking? Former batting champion, .289 average, 2700 hits, 1000 runs scored, 1200 RBIs, nearly 500 doubles. Yeah, he sucks big time.
  22. Keeper
    Bill Buckner's career OPS: .729 (played 644 games in the outfield) I'm not saying Pods is a great player. I'm just saying he was a good fit for the Sox when they got him.
  23. Keeper
    They didn't win because of him. They won because of their pitching. I'm sorry, but a .700 OPS from an outfielder (or anyone for that matter) is just not good. You cannot argue that he is a good player. He's not. I said, "in part." Yes, they did win because of their pitching. But it's not like he had nothing to do with their success. Luis Castillo's career OPS: .722 Maury Wills career OPS: .661 Bad players?
  24. Keeper
    The OPS is low because he doesn't have any power. The OBP was fine, though. Again, I don't know why you're carping. They won. In part, because of him.
  25. Keeper
    So do yours. :thumbsup:
