[Fountain City Blues]

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

4 million is basically nothing. Nothing but upside here for the Indians in both voluminous and proportional terms.

 

[broncosmitty]

What, in your opinion, were the better options?

Well, the AL East and West threads are starting to look a tad more appealing. And although the NL is for ass eaters, rejects, dimwits, scumbags, sleezeoids and burnouts, they're looking good too.

In comparison.

Are you saying you're not a fan of the ALC-WWE?

Its not a gamble you take when you are a legit WS contender IMO... to each their own. When you are close to contending... they would have been smarter to lose the draft pick and sign Ian Desmond to play 3rd.

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

Tigers payroll this year is about 30 mil higher than last year.. Just an FYI.

Which doesn't make your figures any less wrong.

 

[broncosmitty]

he is 37... He only played 119 games. Enjoy that purchase.

Victor Martinez being 37 and playing in 120 games last year makes us winners.

When the alternative is potentially replacement value? Nah, you grab the Uribes of the world and don't apologize for it.

You forgot trank's lobo's and zipheads.

not optimal... no.. but i doubt many people expect uribe to have a better year at the plate than vmart... and the money is meaningless to ilitch.

You're pretty excited about your 37 year old $18MM DH, right?

i was intentionally over exaggerating to prove a point... i guess it went over your head..

Oh,.... I see you're running for dumbest motherfucker on tHoop again today.

You can count on my vote. No need to campaign.

once again... money is not an issue in Det... and I highly doubt you would bet on uribe in a bet on which player has better offensive numbers.

Exactly. I was trying to give the tard the benefit of the doubt today, but he's just a bottomless well of inaccuracies, stupidity, and weak insults.

i love how there is a group of faggots on this site that try to gang up on people.. its quite interesting behavior...

comparing uribe to vmart is funny... if the money mattered it might be a good comparison.. it doesn't... don't be surprised to see the tigers add more payroll at the trade deadline.

if you actually put vmart and uribe on even par offensively... you are the tard.

 

[MiamiVice]

I am willing to bet that vmart's owar is at least 5x higher than uribes this year.... could be 8-10x higher really.

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

once again... money is not an issue in Det... and I highly doubt you would bet on uribe in a bet on which player has better offensive numbers.

When one player is making 3.5 times what another player is, why would anyone expect their offensive numbers to be comparable?

 

[da55bums]

When there aren't a lot of options out there... it doesn't make it better to give $5mil to a 37 yr old that shouldnt be a full time player... on a team trying to win the WS.

like ummmmm giving $10m to a 39 yr old Nathan that should have retired.

I'm not joking here. Are you ESL? I'm trying to understand how you can misinterpret written words so badly.
