Excellent, I love Sunday day games

Pitching matchup favors the Sox, and I like Vazquez in a big park against Leyland’s Sunday lineup.

On a side note, Fukudome has slumped to a 786 OPS, although he’s bouyed by that .384OPB.

I was all for bringing him in to fix CF, but at this point it’s about a wash between him and Swisher. Swisher gives more flexibility, Fukudome slightly better stats.

by madvillian on Jul 27, 2008 11:16 AM CDT reply actions  

is it too long to wait after 1st half next year

to make that comparison? in the short term, having swish gives us more flexibility, but i’m not sure if we’ve fuku realize his full potential in mlb.

He was a catcher with the Orioles back in the day. Sorry looking (expletive). My brother had his card. He looked like this little kid who got left at a bus station by his parents. You know why? Because he had to catch Hoyt Wilhelms knuckle ball five (expletive) years.

Yea, was just throwing it out there as a 2008 thing

I have no idea going forward who will be better, just that it isn’t as clear cut as it seemed earlier in the year.

by madvillian on Jul 27, 2008 11:23 AM CDT up reply actions  

And Fukudome is owed $48 million dollars over 4 years...

Swisher is much cheaper at 4-years, $25.55 million or 5-years, $34.8 million but he cost the Sox Gio, Sweeney, and DLS.

It doesn’t look like Fukudome is going to start hitting for power anytime soon which sucks for the Cubs.

i find his home/road splits astounding

home—.345/.450/.512 (.962 OPS)
road—.216/.323/.303 (.626 OPS)

i’m too lazy to look it up but i wonder how many other players have splits anywhere near that dramatic.

brian anderson would've caught that...

Yankees set to acquire Jarrod Washburn from Mariners...

Link:

The New York Yankees are reportedly close to completing a proposed trade that would bring veteran Mariners left-handed pitcher Jarrod Washburn to the Bronx in exchange for several prospects.

by SSH2005 on Jul 27, 2008 11:17 AM CDT reply actions  

Don't understand that one

Washburn is washed up and will not help them more than Ponson, who they got for free basically. What is he making this year, like 10 million? So they’ll pick up the remaining 4 million and trade some low level prospects, just to get a pitcher with an ERA+ of 84 averaging under 6 innings per start.

Pettite
Moose
Joba
Rasner
Ponson

I guess Rasner is the odd man out, although his stats are almost identical to Washburns, and he might actually improve in his career.

Must be nice to have a nearly unlimited payroll.

by madvillian on Jul 27, 2008 11:30 AM CDT up reply actions  

Washburn's last ten starts have been very good...

and Rasner has steadily gotten much worse. They have a chance to replace a #5 starter with a #3 starter and since the Yankees have money coming out of their ass, the trade makes a lot of sense for them. Afterall, the Yankees are only three games back now.

by SSH2005 on Jul 27, 2008 11:39 AM CDT up reply actions  

That's true

But they are also set to get Hughes and Kennedy back within the next month (both are now in minor league rehab).

If Washburn isn’t better than a 4th starter (and I have reasonble doubts that he will be) they are essentially paying a premium price for a redudant player, even with the resources at their disposal, at some point bad decisions will have a real oppurtunity cost down the road.

They are only 3 back, and now with Nady and Marte they solved their bullpen and outfield problems (big fan of that trade from their perspective), and their is a perception here in NYC that Yankees fans will revolt if the team doesn’t appear to be making these sort of WIN NOW moves regardless of cost.

Of course I think the perception is bullshit, but I might feel differently if I was personally responsible for fan goodwill heading into a new stadium.

by madvillian on Jul 27, 2008 11:48 AM CDT up reply actions  

Hughes and Kennedy have both been garbage this season...

and the Yankees aren’t the type of team to depend on struggling young players. They throw money at their problems and acquire veterans. Besides, one of them can probably replace Ponson once his “Masset Magic” wears off.

by SSH2005 on Jul 27, 2008 11:57 AM CDT up reply actions  

Personally, I don't think much of their ability

to fix problems. Everyone talks about how hard it is to play in New York or whatever, but it seems to me that the Yankees just do a crap job coaching their players up and keeping them healthy.

Their whole team is on the wrong side of 30, hard to keep guys healthy like that. Especially guys with histories of injury problems.

How long have people been saying that the Yankees are too old?

Each and every season? Yet they keep making the playoffs every year. The Yankees have more money than God and they can always just sign young free agents.

To the Yankees, 30 years old is young...

And the age issues haven’t stopped them from making the playoffs each and every year. They also seem to usually have a good farm system which they then trade for established players.

and both Kennedy and Hughes injured? while Danks and Floyd (omg no jinx) are fine? just sayin…

Announcer: [A fan] from Frederick, Maryland, wants to know why you don't go out and get some more team speed.

Weaver: Team speed, for Chrissake, you get BLEEP god damn little fleas on the bases getting picked off trying to steal, getting thrown out, taking runs away from you. You get them big BLEEP who can hit the BLEEP ball out of the BLEEP ballpark and you can't make any god damn mistakes.

Still think Ozzie screwed that up....

Miggy was 4-13 lifetime before the AB with 2 HRS….Sheffield was 10/48 (.208)...should have intentionally walked him, though perhaps the walks to the two previous hitters was the reason he didn’t.

yeah Javy wasn't throwing strikes

you can’t make things worse by handing them base runners

Shame that Quentin couldn’t get on before him.

Q looked a little baffled by the pitch sequence

Miner has had some good ones so far, but I think we’ve been helping by swinging a lot early in the count.

He was a catcher with the Orioles back in the day. Sorry looking (expletive). My brother had his card. He looked like this little kid who got left at a bus station by his parents. You know why? Because he had to catch Hoyt Wilhelms knuckle ball five (expletive) years.

apparently Yanks might explore Cabrera for Bannister….I’d hop on that if I’m KC.
