You do know that his power was not what I contested, right?

Yeah, I know. I just said he would hit a little bit. Never contested that .240 is mediocre, but .240 with 17 bombs is pretty good.

For a backup, yes. Just wondered why you keep bringing it up.

.240 with 17 bombs is pretty good at second base, even for a starter. And I am merely monitoring the dispute of whether he would "hit a little bit" while he was filling in, as I am monitoring the dispute of whether David Ortiz was "done" from prior to the season.

Oh, and that reminds me, Ortiz is up to 27 dongs.

FWIW he's played 47 games in the OF and 40 at 2B. Still doesn't get on base a ton and his defense is pretty brutal though. Regardless, as I said earlier in the thread, he is what he is.

"a little bit"? great revision tedski. No need to lie because it's really not all that important to begin with.

btw - "monitoring disputes" is the coolest.

Oh Jesus. :81


He's a career .250 hitter with power at second base. He's also a dead pull hitter playing in Fenway. If you were retarded enough to think my point was that he could replace Pedroia, I don't know what to tell you. My point was actually that: (a) Hall will hit a little and (b) the Red Sox lineup has been scoring enough runs to survive the loss of Pedroia.


This was the dispute, I believe.

Exactly - you backed down from "will hit" to "will hit a little" as soon as I posted. Now we're really getting somewhere. Keep bringing it up though teddy, it's really worth it to track...

The Red Sox have reportedly claimed Johnny Damon on waivers. Now, the question is whether the Red Sox are genuinely interested in trying to make a trade for him, or if they're just attempting to prevent another AL team from claiming him.

Papi
AVG: .258

RBI: 71

Teixeira
AVG: .256
OBP: .370
SLG: .476
OPS: .846
HR: 21
RBI: 74

It's almost a dead heat now but Papi gets the advantage due to his superior slugging. Not bad for a player who sucks.

Tex should get it because he is the best fielding first baseman in the league. So many times this year has he taken away extra bases or saved ARod at first. Even when he is not hitting as well as accustomed to, he still is worth the money. And he isnt hitting that poorly.

Ortiz has had a monster month HR wise since then so maybe its different but there is no way Ortiz is as good as Tex, not at this stage of his career

If Teixeira is a better fielder than Ortiz, then why has he committed 3 fielding errors this season while Ortiz hasn't committed a single one? That's what I thought.

this post is a set-up, right? do you like it when teddy says "dongs"

2 weeks into the season and the Sox look like crap. Forget starting 4-9, they are 1-6 at home. No need to panic, but a terrible start to the season that plays upon the anticipated pre-season fears of the team (no clutch hitting, poor relief pitching, Ortiz) with some shaky performances from perceived pre-season strengths (defense, starting pitching, Victor Martinez, Youkilis). In a month, this could be a bad memory, but given the likelihood that this is a 3 horse race for 2 spots, it's a terrible way to open the season.

The Rays are playing like world beaters. Their pitching has been fantastic and their bats explosive (with the notable exception of Burrell). The offensive x-factor (Upton), has been superb. Price and Neimann have impressed.

The Yankees are playing above even their own expectations, with the starting rotation leading the way. Despite very little production from Rodriguez and Tex, they are steamrolling the competition. As piss poor as Vazquez has been (answer: Steve Trout-level bad), if the team were 5-5 the heat would be significantly worse.

I haven't seen enough of the birds to speak about those two squads.


When I started this thread on April 19, the Red Sox were 6 games behind the Rays and 5.5 (6 in the loss) behind the Yankees. 118 games later and they are exactly one game worse (7 games back). I know that all games in between are the reason they aren't ahead, and not the first 13 (I believe they got as close as a half-game away), but it's still worth noting.
