Catching up on Sox stuff since being away over Thanksgiving. Coincidently, I was staying in Jupiter, right around the corner from the Marlins/Cardinals spring...
Why would th Phillies make this trade? You ignore the obvious. While Abreu is a decent hitter, Manny has been the most productive hitter in baseball over the...
I also heard on the radio this morning that Francona, when he was with the Phillies had problems with Abreu. Abreu was late, got fined. I guess not much...
I just don't see how the Sox are going to make this work. First, they are limited to a few teams that would even consider taking on Manny's salary. Second,...
... The below(in quotes) is something I origonally posted in the Mets group I'm in: "As the resident Philsphan here, let me just say I AGREE! I DON'T want...
... This is another reason why - if Manny has to go - we're better off sending him to the Phils than the Angels. I'd rather see us get a proven MLB-caliber,...
I totally agree. I do not see how the Sox could possibly deal Manny for prospects, no matter how highly rated they may be. Look, the Sox just pulled off a...
Well, I heard the deal isn't going to go through on one of the sports shows last night. I just don't see how anyone can give us equal value for Manny. fran ......
... 1) How do you define "equal" or "value", much less "equal value" here. While I DONT want to see Manny(or Abreu) going ANYWHERE, I think that potential...
Look, there is one, maybe one player in the game that is "equal" to Manny - Albert Pujols, and he is not available until 2011. I say equal because both are...
Well, that about describes equal better than I can, without going into it further. Does anyone remember when we had Cliff Floyd here before and he said he...
OK, hold on a second here... First, someone here tries to tell me that Damon's a more valueable and/or better player than Varitek. Now, someone's posting that...
That would be me. David Ortiz and I agree that the only player that compares to Manny, as a right-handed power hitter, is Pujols. When asked about trading...
Between Manny, Johnny and Jason it's not even close. Manny is easily more valuable than the other two. Only Bonds, A-Rod, Pulols and possibly Guerrero are in...
Agreed. A guy who hits HRs and drives in runs is going to have more impact and value than a guy who gets on base and scores runs. Damon is worth a lot. But I...
I'm sure there are more players than one that are equal to Manny...Andruw Jones, for one, who plays for the Braves. There are no doubt other player's who could...
... I think he will too. But that's at least as much a reflection on the fact that there's more demand out there for him as it is on his ability, either on...
... Which means(or at least implies) that Ortiz wasn't including any current Bosox in his evaluation of who(if anyone) is Manny's equal. I'm NOT saying he'd...
... I think there might be a _few_ other players I'd take in a 1-1 trade for Manny. Guys like Jeter, Andruw Jones, etc. Not many more, but some additions to...
... Without getting into whether any or all contracts are inflated; whether any team that signed any of these contracts is "paying too much(I think they're ALL...
... But, if we DO go solely on offensive stats, I'd prolly take Ortiz over him. It's close, and Ortiz is prolly the only one I'd take over Manny's offensive...
In my opinion, offensive production, including OBP, OPS, strikeout/walks, etc., is the key "value" of any everyday player. of course you can't suck at defense,...
I don't understand why Andruw Jones is so overvalued because of one good year, and even in that good year he only hit .263. Jones has played 10 years and has a...
the other angle here is the question of evaluating players individually or in the team compisition framework. The real answer is that you need a good leadoff...
Sean, I totally agree with you about our 1-4 hitters and sincerely hope that both Manny and Johnny remain with the Red Sox. :-) zvika Zvi Shilon, Nahal...
... Because many of us consider '05 to be Jones' "breakout season" and are expecting many more seasons like it from him in the short -term future. He's had...
