Re: MLB 13 The Show Cover Athlete is Andrew McCutchen
The Tigers pay their OWN developed players with contract extensions?? How can you say that like it's a bad thing? The Marlins are the only team who doesn't do that and they are the laughing stock of baseball.
Trading is "purchasing players?? Trading 6 players, including their two top prospects (two of the top prospects in the game) for TWO PLAYERS (Cabrera and Willis) is purchasing players???
How can you even speak on the Tigers getting swept. You're a Pirates fan. When was the last time your team made the playoffs better yet played .500?? I can't be reading this stuff
You can sit here and say how the Pirates are doing it the 'pure way' and talk about how a team with 4 free agents on the 25 man roster is purchased, but the last time your team was .500 Jim Leyland was the manager. And since then, he's retired 3 times, died 4 different times, came back for 7 underwhelming seasons in Detroit, and you are saying what you are saying
A Pirates fan talking about the "right way" of building a team. What has strictly home grown mindset got your team?
trading 6 players for 1 is purchasing And did the Pirates not just try to offer a 15 million dollar deal to one of the worst pitchers in the American League? Man. lol.
He had a .950 OPS vs team of .500 or better.
I came to this thread to hear people's reactions on the cover, I did not expect to see such lame arguments dissing the Tigers for no apparent reason. This and the last post are just so weak. If you're trying to diss a team you gotta find something that actually makes sense. This is just sad
And then people say McCuthen is not good enough to be on the cover? He had a .953 OPS for the CF position. That's as elite as you can get. The comment about him being one of the best defensively isn't true, there's nothing to support that. But still, McCutchen is one of the best players in the league
In essence, all teams do PURCHASE a team. However, in 2012 the Detroit Tigers payroll was $132,000,000 compared to the Pirates payroll of $63,431,999. Both figures are quite outrageous as that money is used to pay players to PLAY the game of baseball. In my opinion as well, trading is also "purchasing" because you're giving away less expense to get something more desired, more expensive in MOST cases. As far as ignorance goes, that $132 mil payroll was used for a 4-0 shutout in the World Series
