You guys are something else with your hatred for Michael Young. The guy has hit over .300 six years in a row. Every home town scorer looks out for his team and makes some favorable calls every now and then. Sure that should have been an error but the breaks go both ways in a 162 game season.

 

I don't hate him...I'd take him on the Sox (but for 10 mil, not 16)

I hate Joe's swing that the back hand comes off the bat.

Crede continues to be worthless for this team. In his last 70 at bats, he has 5 RBI.

I wish it worked like that too, but it doesn't. If you want to keep/get a good player, you have to overpay (eg Torii Hunter).

So a .300 batting average gets you $16M now a days? Because that's all Michael Young is going to do for you. That career .281/.324/.409/.733 line away from Arlington isn't very reassuring either.

Says who? The Cubs had no problem signing Aramis and D. Lee to fair market extensions, same goes for the Sox with Buehrle, Dye, etc.

Good inning for Danks...it pisses me off that he didn't make the all-star game, while Crede did.

just checked in on the game - was AJ hurt?

HBP in the ankle area, nothing serious says Hawk.

Oh my, that was beautiful.

 

Sexy.

Bunt singles are always good. Reminds me of my last at bat in high school, never laid down a bunt in all of high school until then.

I'll gladly pay $15M a year for a .915 OPS 3B like Aramis. $16M per through 2013 for a .790 OPS mediocre defensive SS is not what I'd call a smart financial decision. The Rangers overpaid, and THEN some.

Beautiful bunt...how about another hit-and-run?

Yankees are going to give Tex way too much money.

Do not underestimate the stupidity of the O's as they need a first baseman and he is from the area. ESPN.com said Boras is looking for an 8-10 year deal at $23 million per.

 

That's f***ing stupid.

Base hit would be so clutch here Toby.

HBP in the ankle area, nothing serious says Hawk.

thanks, that's good to hear.

I assume Toby will be bunting here.

Two on, nobody out for Toby "I let other people wear my pants" Hall

lol @ boras. He is not going to get close to that.

LOL, nice throw Salty.

Slappy single hitters who don't walk much and play mediocre defense do not deserve $16 million a year. Last year Michael Young did not hit a homer outside of Texas until September.

 

He's overrated and overpaid. Get out of the dark ages and look past batting average.

LOL, nice throw Salty.

but he's got a cannon?

Quality sac bunt by Toby.
