not unlike the phillies rewarding Ryan Howard for his first years in Philly.

What happens if the guy never comes back from the injury and becomes a utility player! Becomes a true statement! Ouch!

 

[rjt721]

Howard's been a platoon player for like 3 years anyway. He can't touch lefties.

Ouch! Ouch!!

c'mon Pirates, let's land AJ Burnett!

one time, common

I'd rather have him than a soon-to-be 33 year old Mark Beuhrle for 4 years.

Agree with something I say on Gamelive ONE TIME, guy.

I double dare you.

How in the fuck can we compare a proven, durable MLB arm to a guy who got pulled out of the Winter League because his value was
plummeting with every K?

I'd rather have a rubics cube than a dream house barbie doll

Archie, how many games will the Phillies win if Howard becomes a full time player?

 

[Archie]

based upon the last two years of his WAR

they'd win an extra 1.5 games over a replacement level avg goofball, making 400,000k a year

Did you learn this from watching Moneyball? As Bread would tell me, your watching too many movies my friend!

 

[Archie]

no I don't think they talk about WAR in Moneyball too much

its pretty common talk in most baseball circles these days I think

 

[MrMonkey]

Archie, I can't keep up at this pace! Plus your talking to an uniformed baseball fan! Be gentle!

Hmm. Big bat with potentially great upside or an aging pitcher past his prime? Tough choice for me.

Sorry, I know how homers take offense to someone criticizing their shitty team.

 

[MonkeyF0cker]

And while we're at it, Ozzie Guillen was a horrific hire as well.

 

[Archie]

Daffy, pitchers are washed up at age 32-37. Especially lefties

better to put money and resources into proven comidities of Cuban players on drugs and fat catchers named Jesus

 

[MrMonkey]

Binoculars are great at the ballpark but are a must have at the beach! Just sayin!

 

[Archie]

lol very true MrMonkey! our wimmin folk give us an average 2.7 orgasms over replacement level chicks per week!

we are lucky men!~!

HAI MRSMONKEY!!!!
