Maybe you should start a mets thread so we can hear about how good reyes is. |
we don't need a 3rd thread for baseball. hell, this thread should really be merged with the NYTA basbeall thread.
we may as well have a thread for the mets, red sox, the phillies, the orioles, the pirantes and the nationals while we're at it |

PS I'm ready for "Brokeback Bronx" the movie in which the prominent love tryst between Clemens and Pettite comes full circle and onto the big screen. |
you..The Red Sox make the NYPD look like athletes.... |

| Pavanno is also 10 million of that number. also not included in the red sox is the acquisition fee of dice which brings them alot closer to the yanks |

ortiz makes anyone look like a world class athlete; that fat . Imagine if he had to actually play.
Although i can't taking anything away from his clutch hitting. That still isn't much of an athletic ability. |

| ny rangers payroll is superior to hockey teams and they didnt even make playoffs for a number of years so money doesnt equal championships buddy. |

That fat couldn't steel a base even if he was being chased by the "KKK"..... |

im pretty sure you wouldn't be talking about clemens if he signed with boston.
BTW, how's matsuzaka doing. He seems to be getting worse as the year wears on. |
Yes and no - Clemens is an arm for hire and the Yanks had the highest demand for his arm. I think his signing hurts your ability to farm (ranked 7th from 27th in '04) and places a lot of pressure on you to win now with a team that is mediocre in comparison to your most recent World Series teams. Let's face it, Clemens is a quick fix, a stop gap to a much larger problem. Your staff is aging and aging quickly and only Hughes waits in the wings. After this season you need to get young, talented arms and the 20 million you dropped on Clemens will serve as an unwelcome handicap.
Plus, the thought of bringing back the "Who's your dealer" chant when Clemens makes his return to Fenway sounds almost to good to be true.
As for Matz, people who thought he'd dominate here, right away, like he did in Japan were foolish. The same learning curve that Beckett experienced last year, he's experiencing in the present at a much greater degree. I expect him to rebound slightly, say sometime around the all star break and not fully fill his shoes until next season. |

how is signing clemens going to hurt the farm? It was a money transaction. Let's not forget wang. We still have sanchez and every other pitching prospect we picked up this offseason. Please explain how it hurts the minor league system.
as for beckett, he's going to slide. While he looks good, he still hasn't faced any real offensive teams besides the yankees(where he was ok, not spectacular). I mean, seattle, KC, Bal, Oak, and LA. That's not exactly the cream of the crop as far as offensive powers. Before i say that beckett is hitting his stride, i would wait until he pitches against cleveland, detroit, texas (when they decide to start hitting), and the yankees again. After he gets rattled, i think he'll lose his stride again. The one thing he does have going for him is that he actually pitched a whole season last year. Maybe his arm is getting stronger. Who knows. i would just wait before you anoint him the savor. |
