It wasn't pretty, but I'll take it.

I know I know, before the sabremetrics guys get on me, I like the deal for Ethier. And comparing him to Andruw Jones is just asinine. Plus, compared to what he was asking for, and the market price for these outfielders, it is not as bad.

Now, feel free to bash me with statistics I don't understand.

Go.

Just look at his normal stats for crying out loud, do those scream "One of the best OFers in the game" to you?
3 of the past 4 years he has missed 20 games or more, and looks like a .290, 20 homerun, 80 RBI guy with no speed.
How about this, the Dodgers could have let Ethier walk, and throw money at someone BETTER for around the same price in all likelihood.

Also, Andruw Jones was thrown in for the Dodgers overpaying for what was once a washed up CFer.

Like Matrix said, sometimes stats aren't everything. Nothing you will say will change my mind. Many dodgers fans feel the same way. And still throwing in Andruw Jones to the conversation is just dumb. So you can let it go. If it turns into a bad contract, we can eat it. We aren't a small market team.

Pujols just missed a homer by an inch or so.

Re: 6/11 - 6/17 Game Discussion Thread

Lead off homer by Denard Span.

He's one of the more underrated players in the AL.

Home runs should never be referred to as Bellys...nothing should be referred to as a Belly.

Except where my beer goes.

Re: 6/11 - 6/17 Game Discussion Thread

Someone be dumb enough to trade for Tony Sipp please. He's way too inconsistent. Plus, we have a younger option waiting in the wings that'll fill his role just fine in Nick Hagadone.

[JBH3]

Huh? That just went right over my head.

I just meant I wish Thome would hit, I wish that someone/anyone would hit in this pathetic Phillies lineup LoL.

Re: 6/11 - 6/17 Game Discussion Thread

So who had Tyler Moore in their fantasy lineup today? LoL

3/4 - 2 HRs/5 RBI

Oh and the Nats win again...
