I've honestly never seen such a terrible worthless poster in such a short time. You just have to face that sometimes on this board, other people are right in certain situations. Maybe the death metal has finally taken its toll man....

Irony-making fun of scrubs as a nickname for Cubs by calling it "3rd grade lingo" while refering to Carl Everett as "Carla" two posts prior.

Just because he is the second best SS on the market (and that's debatable), doesn't mean he is worth $6 mil. He isn't an OBP guy. Did you see some of the swings he took in the ALCS and WS? Looked like Uribe. And for someone who likes consistency...you should check out the numbers...not too consistent if you ask me.

Career Numbers

Dellucci - .261 AVG - .339 OBP - .418 SLG - .757 OPS

Cabrera - .268 - .316 - .409 - .725

Again, I refer to past players that once they left Montreal have had very sucessful carrers..

Are among the history that I go on with him.

 

List the FA ss in order you see them

We're not talking about the order in which shortstops lie in the Free Agent market, we're talking about overpaying for talent. And paying $6 million a year for Cabrera is a joke, I'd rather stick with Uribe.

Wait, so Kenny let Machado get away (even though he didn't, as Steff pointed out, it was Pre-Williams era), and didn't get him. But he overpays for useless talent? Is it me, or is something wrong with this picture.

 

BTW - Uribe @ League Minimum, or whatever he makes (can't be any more than two million, I assume) is much, much >>>>>>>>>>>>>> than Cabrera at six (he's more likely to get eight because some dumb team will overpay for his ass).

5 Mil for Jose last year ok, but pay and up and coming SS a mil more is over paying..

 

Brillaint..

 

What else you working on?

You're still not getting the point.

:huh: maybe you should explain it better then

You said that KW overpays for players, yet you keep repeating yourself that he should sign Orlando Cabrera. You also said in another post that you can't even compare David Dellucci and Cabrera, and I showed you numbers proving that Dellucci's are slightly better. Now, if you don't want KW to overpay for someone, why do you want him to sign Cabrera so badly?

No one ever said that move was a good move. I didn't like the move, but again -- it's easy for me to judge a move in hindsight.

 

 

Looking back on it, there were really no other options. Uribe was way too unproven to be given the spot, and I don't recall many SS's available (remember -- Kenny had to decrease payroll last season).

 

What would you have done? Realistic too, because I doubt Vladdy wanted to come here, and Colon obviously didn't want to (would've been the highest paid pitcher in Sox history, IIRC) be here. And, when I ask what you would have done, I'm talking shortstop-wise.

WE could of went out and gotten Rich Aurilla for 2 mil I think Seattle signed him for.. And that is who I wanted..

 

And look you save 3 million, and then we realize that Rich is not the answerr and play Uribe more..

Again, I refer to past players that once they left Montreal have had very sucessful carrers..

I can name three players that that has happened to from other teams. It is really not very hard. Anyway, you want GOD to bat second in the line-up correct? A prototypical two hole hitter is suppose to have a .340-.360 obp and he is not close to that with his .306 obp. :puke Does not matter that i said this anyway. :headshake

So you wanted a guy that is on the downside of his career? Nice.
