Spybot Search & Destroy works pretty damn good.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jul 21, 2005 -> 01:18 AM) We all know B-Mac wasn't ready, so there's no real point in using the B-Mac in the majors argument. And yes we all saw what Lowe did in the playoffs, but is it a guarantee that he's going to pitch like that again especially when his regular season stats are not great to say the least? At least someone like Jason Schmidt has had good form leading up to the deadline. And have a look at Lowe's splits compared to an un-named pitcher (I'll let you all try and guess which one it is). (Lowe is #1 BTW) BAA: 1) .284 2) .228 ERA: 1) 4.18 2) 4.34 WHIP: 1) 1.36 2) 1.30 HR: 1) 18 2) 17 Away Games: 1) 0-5 2) 3-2 July: 1) 0-2, 9.22 ERA 2) 2-2, 5.09 ERA Please, please, please, not this again. My head still hurts from last night. :banghead

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 10:10 PM) Can I call you Simon instead of Deploderer, Simon? Oh, BTW, bloody awesome job man! EDIT: Taken out last name for privacy. QUOTE(DePloderer @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 10:31 PM) You can call me what you like. Just don't call me late for dinner! DAMN!!! You just got burned from across the ocean.

Ahem.

QUOTE(DePloderer @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 04:25 PM) I guess you want a Timo one? Yes, please.

beautiful

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jul 16, 2005 -> 06:05 PM) Timo

Jenks is a very sane person.

QUOTE(rangercal @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 11:28 AM) Whats going on? you are mocking me!!!! It is a vent LAY OFF! My point is... do we not have enough in our farm to get major help? We do have enough, it's just the teams that are willing to trade right now are still looking to win in the near future and minor league players don't necessarily help them achieve that.

You said "What is going on?" 3 times. Kind of overkill. Look at the O's - Marlins trade. The Marlins are supposidly giving up two ML players (Burnett, Lowell) and gaining 4 ML players (Larry Bigbie, Jorge Julio, Steve Reed and Steve Kline) only one minor leaguer in the trade going to the Marlins (Hayden Penn). Teams still want to contend this year and next (FLA, SFG, PHI) so if they're going to give up ML talent they want ML talent in return so they can still contend.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 01:42 AM) 14,000... 1/2 of which were meaningless posts. :headshake

Both teams played hard.

Sucks to be JB.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jul 19, 2005 -> 11:49 PM) No they re-worked his deal in the last off-season, so he's got a team option for next season IIRC. You got it.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 19, 2005 -> 11:38 PM) One of my favorite things to occur this season was that we kept Jenks on the roster, and let Shingo go. It would have been so easy for KW to just send down Jenks, and keep the obviously washed-up Shingo. That move took a lot of balls by KW and Ozzie, and I'm thrilled with the decision. Did you just compliment KW and Ozzie? What's the world comming to?

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 19, 2005 -> 11:36 PM) Exactly. DBAHO, I think you and I are on the same page with all of this. Again, in no way am I saying his career is over before it really ever started. Atleast you have the ability to reason unlike some people who are just stubborn as hell.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jul 19, 2005 -> 11:26 PM) Based on this season, yes, Cotts is better than Marte but the difference is that Marte has shown previous MLB dominance in which case BMac hasn;t shown in AAA or MLB. And the AAA for Cotts was a typo....

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jul 19, 2005 -> 11:23 PM) If Gio continues success in A, succeeds in AA, has a wonderful ST and then is put in BMac's position, it would be plain stupid. BMac was sorely misused and mistreated. I agree, BMac should not be in AAA, therefore, further backing my belief that he is not ready and has amounted to nothing yet... BMac should be in AA.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jul 19, 2005 -> 11:13 PM) IT'S TOO f***ING LATE NOW HUH? You can't change that s***. He IS in AAA, he WAS brought up, he DIDN'T produce, and that is it. He hasn't done s*** in my book. Spring Training, like YOU said, is just Spring Training. His 2004, 2003, and 2002 stats mean jack s*** right now. Wow, Sammy Sosa had 60 home runs in 2003, he is awesome! You just don't get it. I'm done.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jul 19, 2005 -> 11:08 PM) I never said he wasn't a major prospect. He IS the SOx top prospect but he is, like fathom said, very overrated. He got his shot and underachieved. I am not giving up on him whatsoever. Like I said, I wish him success with the Sox but he just hasn't shown me anything. BTW, the only stat that matters is Wins and Losses. 3-7 with Charlotte, 0-1 with the Sox. Besides, he has a 6.745 combined ERA in AAA/MLB. God damn it. He shouldn't even be in AAA right now. He should have started the year in AA. He has struggled at Charlotte which is a f***ing bandbox and he struggled in the majors because he shouldn't even be there. We shouldn't even be having this discussion seeing how he should still be in B-Ham putting up sick numbers and dominating AA.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 19, 2005 -> 11:04 PM) I could care less about credibility, but right now, McCarthy is overrated. Doesn't mean he'll always be overrated, but in his stint with the Sox this year, he underachieved. He never should have pitched in the majors this year. He pitched lights out in spring training and was rushed along. They put his development on hold and tried to fill a spot in the rotation with a AA pitcher. He wasn't ready. He is NOT overrated.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jul 19, 2005 -> 11:03 PM) Oh, because what you presented in that post offered so much to that argument... Yes, go look at his numbers from 2003 and 2004 in the minors and tell me he's underrated. When you pitch that well and dominate like he did you deserve to be touted as a major prospect.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jul 19, 2005 -> 11:00 PM) So, what? He is a Spring Training pitcher? Can you guarantee me that he will be consistent in the future? He is highly overrated IMO. He has a great Spring Training and all of the sudden, he is the best Sox prospect ever! Did you see his K to BB ratio in the minors? Did you see how many strikeouts he had? Did you see his ERA? Have you ever looked at his stats? Do you even know who he is? He is not overrated. It was not just 1 spring training, it was 2 years in the minors. You have now lost all credibility, not that you had any to begin with.
