    let's not get too excited. sure, derosa hasn't proven himself over a full season, but neither has theriot. yeah, he's been productive over 130 at bats, but so was neifi perez late in 2004 and 2005. if theriot was our starting 2nd baseman for a whole season, i'd bet he'd give us numbers similiar to his career minor league numbers (.692 OPS) rather than the major league production he's given.

    I don't think you're going to get anywhere near that at this point. Well, that's no good. I sold mine for about 70 a ticket on eBay. 80 might be too much, I had a hell of a time selling my Sox tickets for 80.

    Sounds good to me! According to my BP book "Baseball Between the Numbers" bunting for one run is actually more valuable when you have a lead, so, not really a bad decision there. The idea that he's going to be aggressive on the basepaths worries me though. Stealing in general isn't really a positive play to make. If I remember correctly, in that book they had a list of how efficient a manager is, and Lou was close to the top of the list.

    sosa was basically written off by everyone in the baseball world, except one guy gave him a chance. sosa used that chance and produced tremendously. now he's asked about it by the media and he's obviously proud of himself, so what happens? people point out that he's talking about himself and they look at how many times he uses the word "i". can't he be proud of an individual accomplishment? and how come people don't understand that to be the ultimate team player, your personal stats should be at their best. sammy hitting homeruns for himself helps the team tremendously. it's almost impossible to be a selfish player in baseball.

    Outside the Lines will have an Adam Greenberg story on Sunday at 9:30 ET. ESPN.com also has a nice article about him. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2799439

    the anti-sammy sentiment in the media and often on this board is ridiculous

    Ha! The April 5th game I'm going to is senior citizens day, so tickets are cheaper (if you're old).
  17. rocket
    and we have bob brenly to call the action.
  18. rocket
    Not necessarily true. See: Perez, Neifi. Even Neifi isn't all bad. It's how he's used. Some people pay more attention to reputation than results.

    Fine, that's your opinion. Just out of curiosity, what was his ERA+ those years? Also at a level that would be very good for a fifth starter? 113 and 103. Thanks. Where do you guys get that info? I couldn't find it on ESPN or mlb.com. http://www.baseball-reference.com

    if we're going to be happy with marquis putting up what amounts to a 5.14 ERA then we're in trouble.
  24. rocket
