Here are some 2007 key numbers:<BR/><BR/>Youk- 104 G, 68R, 120H,12HR, 62RBI 54 BB,187 TB, OBP .4, 0.447 SLG .306 AVG<BR/><BR/>Teix- 85 G, 53 R 93H, 16HR, 58RBI, 48 BB, 169 TB, OBP 0.394, 0.535 SLG, .294 AVG<BR/><BR/>I know over the course of his career Teix is very good, a switch hitter, a gold glove 1st Baseman, and his career stats blow Youk's away, but Youk is exactly the type of player Theo likes, not to mention can also play 3rd to give Lowell a night off. Understandibly he is not your quintessential corner infielder, but given those stats I would not have included him in a trade for Teix.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2417684878525601875.post-73567430548358588432007-08-09T14:42:00.000-04:002007-08-09T14:42:00.000-04:00Jon Lester can't equal Gerald Green.

For a 42 year old that's going to cost around $5M, he's the same exact player as Eddie House. Doesn't make sense.<BR/><BR/>Also, such an acquisition would complicate matters for Doc Rivers. We all know that Doc doesn't have the slightest clue when it comes to setting a rotation. If you bring in a veteran presence like Miller, Doc is going to keep feeding Reggie minutes, thinking that it's still 1995. It's a terrible combination. Doc doesn't know how to say "no" to a player of name value.<BR/><BR/>The player the C's desperately should be going after is Sarunas Jasikevicius (a PG that can shoot). Imagine that?? His agent wants him in Boston. Hopefully, his agent and Golden State can work out a buy-out of his current $4M contract.Chieftainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10769295271522788423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2417684878525601875.post-77692999856386024132007-08-09T12:51:00.000-04:002007-08-09T12:51:00.000-04:00Then simply don't watch him pitch, it's really tha...Then simply don't watch him pitch, it's really that simple Chieftain.

I went on to say the following:<BR/><BR/>"A pet-peeve of mine is when analysts don't admit when they're wrong. Maybe my greatest pet-peeve in life.<BR/><BR/>I'm here to take my lumps about Wang's performance last night. Awful.<BR/><BR/>So go ahead, have at it..."<BR/><BR/>...As a side note, I think Jon Lester is even worse than I thought. And, this is coming from the person that already had the lowest opinion possible of him. Does he really believe that he throws 100 MPH. Because that's exactly how he pitches...gets behind in ALL counts, and then thinks he can blow smoke by everyone. He's an abortion to watch.Chieftainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10769295271522788423noreply@blogger.com
