Too bad you're not Jerry Reinsdorf, you'd have money for the Fender and your family's Christmas.

.280something, 28HR 102 RBI and ppl want him gone. SMH. But yeah I know RBIs supposedly don't mean anything, and according to WAR Yolmers more valuable. lol I hope he gets a nice extension.

He gets an A+ from me. I could care less what his WAR is.100 RBI in August. Outstanding!

Nothing personal either, but you and the other guy who responded don't quite get what I'm talking about. Its crazy to want to watch a great, we hope, ballplayer come up and play for our team? Im about to turn 50 and just beat cancer for the 2nd time. I don't care about 7 years from now frankly. My old man is 71 and watches most every game, im sure hes not to worried about 7 years from now either. You might be young, idk, and life looks long, but theres no guarantee you'll be around in 7 years either. Sorry I don't mean to get all philosophical on a baseball message board, but you see where im coming from? I just do not understand the modern baseball fan I guess. I cant grasp not wanting to see this guy in Chicago so the Reinsdorfs can save millions years from now. To me that's crazy. I get a lot of joy, pleasure, whatever the word watching baseball. But you say theres no value in that, its worth nothing? I guess we look at life a lot differently. ..Again, nothing personal.

Lol, I got banned from there too. I said something about how stupid it was that you couldn't use Yahoo for email. I don't even remember what my screen name was. Those mods were sanctimonious A-holes.

Because we enjoy watching baseball, and want to see him play. Theres actually "value" in that.

If its called "Park Life", I have same book. Lots of great pics of fans at the games. I will give credit to the Chairman and Einhorn there, they really did spruce it up when they took over.

Cool. I hope this is true.

Agree 100%. My Dad took us to 10-15 games a year during Veecks second go round and it was always a blast. Even just watching on TV, Harry and Jimmy kept even a blowout entertaining. I see in another comment back down thread someone calling Comiskey Park a "dump." Please. It was a beautiful ball park. Yeah there were obstructed seats, so what? When you were in the upper deck you were hugging the field, right on top of the action. Didn't feel you were a million miles from the action like the new park. I still miss the old place. Lotta good times there.

Just read through the first link. Doesn't change my opinion of it. Thanks for the info though. Ill dig into the others later.

Yet amazingly, often times it can be both. Since in my experience numerous ppl that yammer on about it cant explain it. But carry on.

I still don't agree Leury is more valuable, but I understand the reasoning now that others do. Thanks for the response,although im aware theres more to baseball than offense, didn't need the snark.

I still don't agree that Leurys more valuable, but I understand the reasons why some do now. Thanks for the response.

It's disgusting imo the Sox aren't calling this kid up this year so they can screw him out of a year of FA. Glaring example of everything that's wrong with corporate America today. I find it sad and disheartening so many are fine with this.

Because WAR is a stupid made up stat? I've tried to get my 22yo nephew to define what replacement level is. Im like, gimme a stat line for a replacement level SS, using my outdated "traditional" stats lol. He cant. WAR is subjective he says. I say if its subjective, its not a real stat. Listening to the Score tonight while at work, they were talking about trading Abreu, then listed the 6 Sox players with more, higher?, WAR than Abreu. According to WAR, Leury Garcia is having a more productive year than Abreu. That's all I need to hear about WAR to know its nonsense.
