    What if all our pitchers get hurt again and its actually the equivalent to a 60M payroll all year?
  2. edavis0308
    Which they completely miss the point each time, finger pointing at how much the payroll was the past two years, as if spending money on better players doesn't mean you'll be a better team.

    What was our payroll last year if you replace Baker, Pavano, Blackburn, and Morneau with league minimum guys? Sure, Morneau was playing and all but.... Hell include him if you want. Who else was hurt a majority of the year that got replaced by a league minimum guy? The $100 million payroll argument and not winning just doesn't hold weight with me...I feel like you have to look at the number as being at least $20 Million less.

    How many Twins were on the list?

    Principal: Mr. Madison, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul. Billy Madison: Okay, a simple "wrong" would've done just fine.

    The problem is, that this has happened A LOT that past few years. Lev just kind of hit what I was thinking: "Why, only two months out from reporting, are you having surgery? Why isn't this being checked thoroughly nearly three months sooner at the end of the season?" We have had a lot of pitchers the past few years getting surgery on their arms closer to Opening Day then they are to the last day of the previous season. It's currently February. Any regular starter could essentially be done playing the previous September 1. The dates here are a bit excessive to illustrate a point, but.. over 4 months since the season ended and you are just now having surgery? To more than one player?

    bahahahahahhaahaah. I feel that I have read some American literature for the day.

    I vote that the Benny Hill theme plays in the background every time a medical update is given.

    You're only on schedule until you inevitably have a setback. /rim shot

    This kind of backs up all the ideas that some have expressed around here regarding the fact that if you're going to rely on a rotation composed of a bunch of guys coming off arm injuries, you might want to have some contingency plans in place.
  11. edavis0308
    I don't get the love for something like Morneau's RBI total when there is a complete disregard for a two hole hitter that can OBP north of something like .300. It's mind boggling. But I digress.

    No! No pitchers will be put on the DL at all this year, especially in April!! Seriously though, I think the is the more realist approach that is kind of the line where optimists and pessimists are falling on each side of the fence. I agree with you. I'm not sold that all the guys slated to start the year in the rotation will stay off the DL to start the year, which is why depth is indeed a wonderful thing. If only the depth was composed of more competent major league pitching. My gut feeling is out of diamond, Worley, pelfrey, and Gibson, at least one is not in the opening day rotation (most likely Gibson). Then there's the Swarzak and Blackburn injuries to consider. edit. Just saw the diamond article maybe not being ready. Well super.

    Nothing like a pitcher trying to increase his value so we can try and sign him next year once he is worth more.
  14. edavis0308
    No dollar amount yet. my guess is we never actually made a formal offer (ok not really)
  15. edavis0308
    Mariners. One year deal. Mlbtr.
  16. edavis0308
    If we arent going to use this theorhetical money that is being discussed to sign Bourn to a one year deal on a pitcher, then the money just plain isnt getting spent this offseason. /thread.
  17. edavis0308
    Hasn't anyone taught him to throw with some sink? Just sink it and cut it a little.
  18. edavis0308
    Packs very little punch and is very underwhelming when compared to better alternatives if only you shelled out a couple extra bucks???
  19. edavis0308
    So your point is we should play a pitcher at center! Butera should be a starting pitcher! Morneau starts at short! We get your nonsensical argument but if you're going to be dense enough to not think he was limiting his argument to only players that are only classified at each given position, albeit the below average players both offensive and defensively, then.. well....grow up.
  20. edavis0308
    That's not what he meant and you know it.
  21. edavis0308
    No! Sunshine and rainbows! Pots o gold and unicorns! No accepting the fact this currently constructed team has a snowball's chance in Hell of making the playoffs!! it is a good article though, I agree.

    My '83 AMC Eagle stopped running. But instead of just buying a new Kia on sale for $15,000 and have it be a decent deal on a reliable vehicle (which I can afford), I'm going to jump at my buddy's '91 Escort that he is selling, and I am going to pay him $1,000 over book value just to make sure I have a vehicle to drive (even though it has 170,000 miles and might break down in a month, to which I will be in the same situation I was just in).

    The best analogy I have thought of in respect to the matter is this: Let's pretend I need a gallon of milk, and I am going to give you $20 dollars and send you to the store. I tell you that I prefer the organic kind, but if it is too expensive when you get there, just a regular gallon will do. You return with a pint of regular milk, saying it was a better deal. You also pocket my change. Once I drink the pint in one day, I ask you to go get me more milk with the money I gave you, and you say you dont have it anymore. I'm left drinking water the rest of the week. Now if you would use that money to get me something to drink other than water, or buy me a present or something with, you know, MY money, I probably wouldnt be so angry. At least that way I am some kind of value with my own money that I gave you in the first place.

    We could only wish for 221 innings of 3.75 ERA for a year.
