Reddy Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 (edited) Dick Allen, you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. No idea about the business of baseball. No idea about how the game is played in 2012. No idea about position scarcity. No idea about how to properly value players. Go read some books on sabermetrics and go play some fantasy baseball. Then come back and post as a baseball fan who actually understands the game, and not just cute marketing slogans.

greg775 Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 Why is Viciedo this bad? I'm thinking a major league hitter has to be able to take some bad pitches and he won't do it and that is that. He's got to be "easy" to get out for a MLB pitcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You won't see me defending DA much, but you're advocating some slimy tactics that the White Sox have not really undertaken in Kenny's tenure. I understand the desire to maximize the kid's value, but I just disagree with you about doing business that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with some of what you are saying but your line about playing fantasy baseball as a way of properly valuing baseball players in a real setting is pretty ridiculous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's what you play how did you post you loved Pods in 2005? He was Juan Pierre. Pods was far better for the Sox in 2009.

Secondly, if you approach someone about moving Sale, you don't think the first word out of the other GM's mouth isn't going to be "why"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
