Because I don't think Uribe is going to hit anywhere near .250...

Are you talking strictly BA like my grandpa?

Because I don't think Uribe is going to hit anywhere near .250...

His BA has been .281 over the last three seasons. Last year he hit over .250. Why do you think he's going to regress so much?

You think Uribe is going to have a high OBP? LOL

Come on man.... The Indians lineup is gross and you and I both know it. Putting $5mil of money from a owner that doesn't give a large budget... is probably not a good idea.

The Indians lineup may end up putting them into a hole until Brantley can come around.. and even with him the lineup looks like swiss cheese.

Because he is 37... the odds are in my favor.

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

a Jason's Deli sammich thru a straw.

Do they sell those?

 

[MiamiVice]

The Tigers don't operate under the same financial restraints the Indians do... $5mil is equal to the tigers signing someone for 20 mil.

 

[Fountain City Blues]

Doesn't Jason's Deli have free ice cream? I know a few kiddos in here who'd love that shit.

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

I never said that. I asked you if you were talking strictly BA like old guys do. Apparently you were.

For the record though, his OBP was above league average last year.

 

[Iffster]

Curious....it doesn't freak anyone else out that you are carrying on a conversation with a guy that came in here and totally made up a bogus life story about himself? AND has acted like a clown for the last two day? Maybe it is just me.....but this weirdo has some SERIOUS issues. Some of you have been watching him longer than I have. He scares the shit out of me. Why Bums stays in contact with this guy is beyond me. I'd change my name, address, credit cards, everything if this idiot knew anything about me. Vice - the UM grad, ex-Marine, multi-business owner, millionaire, etc, etc....gives me the fucking creeps.

@SlinkyRedfoot

you can't actually be happy with the way the Indians made their roster can you? I mean... If signing a 37 yr old Uribe, a 35 year old Napoli, and a 35 yr old Rajai Davis is your offseason... LOL.. especially for a team with WS hopes.

i was there yesterday... i enjoyed the icecream.

That's not true. Using last year's opening day payrolls, $4MM (not $5MM) is about 4.6% of total payroll. That's about $8.8MM for the Tigers this year.

Enjoy your purchase of Uribe... I am sure he will be worth every penny.. LOL

 

[MiamiVice]

Tigers payroll this year is about 30 mil higher than last year.. Just an FYI. The Tigers owner isn't scared to open his wallet like Dolan is.

 

[Fountain City Blues]

Uribe only has to produce roughly 0.5 fWAR to be "worth" his contract. The fact he has been league average or better for quite some time makes it solid bet by the Indians.

Good luck with that... When you are trying to win a WS and have a legit shot at it.. and your starting 3rd base has a .5 fwar... Good luck.

 

[Fountain City Blues]

OR... he produces up to his prior production (or close) and is worth something closer to 16 million in value if we choose the 8M/Win model.

Well, ass you pointed out, they operate under a different financial reality that much of the league. I'm not so much excited about the roster as I am curious what you think they should have done differently. Of course, you don't have anything to suggest because you really don't know your shit, you're just a troll.

I was being civil today and kindly asked you to explain every stupid thing you said in the hopes that it could make sense. It didn't, which is unsurprising.

I've seen a couple of people on here suggest that you have decent baseball knowledge but that it gets clouded by all your insecure bullshit. Frankly, I've seen none of the former, just loads and loads of the latter.

if you want to roll your dice on a 37 yr old 3rd baase... enjoy.

I would have ran with the young kid they had... saved the cash to use for an in season trade...
