Baseball - November 2007

i personally think Jamie Moyer is better than Curt. Jamie has some stuff left. I mean Curt for some reason is really good in the post season, but during the regular season hes really not that great or what i should say is that he is not what he used to be. i think we need to go after Santana. plus do we really want all that ego baggage that would come with Schilling? but the only thing is that the mets and the braves are also on that 12 city list. and did you see how Jamie peformed during the last game that the Phillies were in aganist the rockies?

You know, I have no idea who the Pirates are looking for to manage them in 2008. I am a big fan (one of three or four...I know) but who will take over the helm?

He only signed a 1 year deal with them. If they don't resign him, do you think some one will pick him up? He didn't do bad for them at all considering his past and not playing ball for 4+ years. I'm sure teams will put his drug past into consideration. I personally think the kid has a great amount of talent and with a team that cares about him, he will be an upcoming star.

I was so happy when Joe Torre refuse to sign the contract the Yankees offer him a few weeks ago, I just don’t understand why this team didn’t fire him last year of the year before the. I been telling all the Yankees fans for the last pas years the Yankees would never win another world series until Joe Torre gets fired, but everyone keep telling me he is not responsible for the Yankees not winning a world series since 2000 the players are. Joe Torre should take all the blame for not winning another title because he was not longer making the right moves and lets face it the only reason he continue managing that Yankees was because of his nice overpaid salary he was making. Once the Yankees ask him to take a pay cut he said no way, because he knew he didn’t stand a chance of taking this team back to the world series and he probably also knew this time he was going get fired. I just a little disappointment the he walk away without getting fire for having a terrible success since 2000.

I'm from New York, I'm a Yankees fan, I travel a lot. The last place I traveled was Seattle and there were a lot of people in Red Sox hats and I'm like these people cant be from Boston.

Also the Yankees have a similar problem. When I was in Colorado it didnt seem like anybody that was rooting for the Yankees was from New York.

I don't have anything against him. Infact I think he might be the greatest april and may baseball player ever. Alex is Mr. May. Does anyone auctually want there favorite team to sign him? When it counts in the postseason he dosn't get it done. If he were to play in the regular season as he does the post season he would be considered a subpar, mediocre average at best baseball player. I can't believe his agent is actually going to ask for an even bigger contract. I'm thinking a team can either sigh a pitching staff, or A-rod. 9 other hitters or A-rod. To me he is not worth the money, because he can't win when it counts. People say it's a team game, but when it counts in the postseason he doesn't even pull his own weight. If he can't win with the yankees who can afford not only him, but other great players, how is he going to win with another organization who will have to decide his salory, or an actual team? To me A-Rod is subtraction by addition. What does everyone else think.

The answer, of course, is that they both started out pitching and then went on to become an every day player. Stan Musial started out as a pitcher in the minor leagues but came to MLB as an every day player and never pitched. Is Rick Ankiel the second best player to make the transition from pitcher to every day player in MLB or can you come up with others?

I am partial to my hometown big red machine for the best starting lineup ever(1976 version).
You can mention the yankee teams of the 20's but I think the discussion should start from the 1950's on because any lineup that had players swinging 50 ounce bats is great for that era but would be ridiculous to compare to the modern game.
Any way as far as my choice considerthe medern era murderers row who also played great defense to boot.

Scott Boras, the agent for Yankees infielder Alex Rodriguez, denied that the star player will be packing his bags and leaving for the Chicago Cubs.
Rumors about A-Rod moving to Chi-town have been circulating for the past several day saying he will get a blockbuster contract and ownership in the Cub franchise. The rumors also said that A-Rod is guilty of the old as time, "sock trick." Boras denied that Rodriguez uses a pair of socks to add dimension to his crotch area. "Great players with great demand create great rumors," said Boras. "But," Boras told the Associated Press, "as far as I know, that is all Alex, all the time."
Rodriguez said, "I'm past the sock stage. I may have at one time used the sock trick, but at this stage of my career, I'm genuine." Players in the locker room usually don't lie, and teammates have rallied around their third baseman to support him. Captain Derek Jeter spoke out, "All I can tell you is that I shower with A-Rod everyday and that thing doesn't hang."

Curt Schilling was 9-8 with a era of 3.87 and was paid $13,000,000 dollars. That's 1,444,444 dollars per win.

He won only 9 games pitching behind a Red Sox offense who own the World Series. How much is he worth at the age of 41?

He listed these as teams he would play for. In knowing Schilling's ego we know he wants to be the ace more than likey. Most of these teams have the ace pitcher with the exception of a few.
Boston - Beckett
Cleveland - Sabathia
Detroit - Verlander
Anaheim - No real ace
New York Mets - No real ace
Philadelphia - Hamels
Atlanta - Hudson
L.A. - Schmidt
S.D. - Peavy
Arizona - Webb
Chicago Cubs - Zambrano
St. Louis - Ro real ace
Milwaukee - No real ace
New York Yankees - Wang

You can choose anyone from the history of the game, dead or alive, as long as they are no longer active. (Obviously dead folks fit this criteria!) Please elaborate on why you liked and/or admired them. Was it their skills on the field? Their personality? Their accomplishments? Their competitive nature? Something else? Whatever it was that makes you like him.

Thanks in advance for your thoughtful responses!

It looks like the Tigers are gearing up to destroy one team and one team only. The team that knocked them out this year, Cleveland. Trading for Renteria was blattently a move to overcome the Indians ie 97 world series and Batting avg against the Tribe is through the roof. Anybody think the Indians can repeat the magic of 07?

the level they are all at should put them above personal attacks on other teams and their team mates, but AROD has no common decency and it shows time and time again, he is low as low can be and no amount of money will ever make him better. The red sox will never sign him because hs is not about the team- he is all about himself and thats why he lost it all this year, including the biggest thing- self respect, he has none do you agree?

I am not a Reds fan by any means, but my roomate is a diehard. He recently told me that rumors have been going around that with Dusty Baker as their manager the Reds might be interested in Mark Prior and Kerry Wood. Good Idea or Organizational suicide?

Forget the media hype for a moment and really think about what team you think would best suit him in terms of personal stats, contending team, and media comfort.

Now before you start answering, let me just mention that the Toledo Mudhens (a minor league team) has just made A-Rod an offer of $35M per year. (This is no Joke. As announced on Mike & Mike this morning). But it only applied if he hits 75 home runs a year for 10 years and average 150 RBI's a season and MUST hit at least .350 each and every season. Obviously a PR exercise in futility.

Nevertheless, there must be a scenario that would fit A-Rod, Scott Boras and both of their egos. What do you think?
