fathom Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 QUOTE (BaseballNick @ Jul 13, 2008 -> 01:36 AM) 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 I hate Joe's swing that the back hand comes off the bat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 (edited) Crede continues to be worthless for this team. In his last 70 at bats, he has 5 RBI. Edited July 13, 2008 by fathom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to keep/get a good player, you have to overpay (eg Torii Hunter). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure that should have been an error but the breaks go both ways in a 162 game season. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee to fair market extensions, same goes for the Sox with Buehrle, Dye, etc. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

santo=dorf Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 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.

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
