    Cannot even begin to express how much I HATE when this organization develops an ace starter once in a generation and then trades him away rather than find a way to keep him.

    All that and a quarter will get you a cup of coffee. Not the good kind but the crappy kind you get for a quarter.

    Love seeing the love for a player whose acquisition was met with disdain on sites like this one.

    It's almost the weekend and nobody's pissed in my cereal yet. Thanks,

    Both Ober & Ryan are among the top 25 starting pitchers in baseball. Maybe starting pitching is not all that important.
  6. dxpavelka
    But now we have another cool analytic to measure that.
  7. dxpavelka
    Another excellent means of predicting the past.

    If SWR is not a LOT better than Blackburn it's a good thing there are a half dozen guys on the farm that probably are. Something that could NOT be said in 2010.

    Again with the "new ownership is going to spend like a drunken sailor" theory.

    I don't think they do either. Just not sure it's wise not to. The difference between him and Buxton is that when Buxton does play defense he can do so at a world class level. Lewis, not so much.

    The only thing i want to see less than Julien at 2B or Miranda at 1B is Miranda at 3B

    For the record, my opening sentence was being facetious.
  13. dxpavelka
    some takes are constructive. some are not.

    And the amazing thing is that stuff like this NEVER happens to other clubs. Excuse me, Mr. Boone on line 1, Mr. Roberts on line 2, Mr. Hyde on line 3, Mr. Bochy on line 4, Mr. Cora on line 5, Mr. Schildt on line 6, Mr. Hinch on line 7.

    You would think that if such a thing existed it'd be easy to find.....

    And today we see once again the Lewis would most likely be best served playing a spot which requires the least amount of wear on a fragile body. Why trade one of your two starting-caliber for something else when that something else might well be someone to fill a spot that you could move one of them to. Actually I'm not totally against Lee being the guy who ends up at 1B but I think he presents more options in other positions that Lewis does. The position I'm most interested in seeing Lewis occupy is "Activated from Injured List."

    The Yankees have a need so let's trade or best pitcher. How about we use the fact that we have three of the twenty best starting pitchers in the game to OUR advantage on the field. The drop off beyond the big three is massive. Why mess the best thing that you have going for you?
  18. dxpavelka
    AK wasn't really an "investment" he was more of a "hope" who didn't make it anywhere else so we throw him in at 1B. If your "investment" retires with a career .1 WAR, you might want to reevaluate your portfolio. His biggest career achievement was that he team had enough confidence in him as a 1B that they felt they could trade a batting champion for the closest thing they've had to an ace in a generation.
  19. dxpavelka
    I know. Where was that coming from. Half a billion dollars. Doesn't matter WHO owns this team. That ain't happening
  20. dxpavelka
    IF they had any defensive chops they wouldn't have been moved to 1B in the first place. Moving them isn't going to magically make them Keith Hernandez.
  21. dxpavelka
    Height is more of a "nice to have but not terribly essential" thing at 1B. I'd be more concerned with having a guy who can hit the cover off the ball and hopefully play a little defense as well. If he's tall that's cool.
  22. dxpavelka
    Throwing guys who don't work out elsewhere in at 1B has been a common practice for about a hundred and fifty years.
  23. dxpavelka
    That clear plan for the future SHOULD be Royce Lewis. Would LOVE to see the IF settle in on Lewis at 1B, Keaschall at 2B, Lee at 3B & Correa at SS for the next 2-4 years. There should be a fairly large bubble of guys knocking at the doorstep in about two years. Expect to hear a lot about names like Kaelen Culpepper, Kyle DeBarge, Danny DeAndrade & Santiago Leon.
  24. dxpavelka
    New television situation won't help.
  25. dxpavelka
    How is espousing the talents, character and virtues of one player insulting others? Am I saying there hasn't been much heart on the team the last four years? Hell yes. The the results on the field speaks to that. Not sure why you care. Pretty sure you'll tell me heart doesn't matter as much as some ******** analytic anyway.
