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

it would matter if the Tigers owner wasn't one of the richest pro sports owners on the planet.

 

[MiamiVice]

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

like i said... when a team is a legit WS contender.. signing a 37 yr old to play 3rd base isn't what I would call the best move.

 

[da55bums]

lol... when you make is down here? i will pay your way to come.

after he buys me post season tickets

Well that's a relief. I suppose it didn't phase him much that he used that money to buy the most expensive pile of shit in baseball last year.

Uribe vs V-Mart the past three years

10.5 fWAR for Uribe. 6.1 fWAR for Vmart (I am adding a win to the DH relative to the same positional value to 1B due to the DH penalty)

 

[MiamiVice]

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

i am trying to figure out what your problem is... you are trying to argue with me to justify your team signing a 37 yr old shit bag to play one of the most important positions in the lineup when they are a legit title contender....

There is no way in hell you actually believe going into the season with the lineup the Indians have is a good thing.

Nope.. that is why he paid out even more money... Your owner is a cheap ass when he has a legit WS contender.

Smitty is right. You are the dumbest mother fucker on this site.

why would you compare fwar of a 3rd basemen to a DH?

 

[Fountain City Blues]

why would you compare fwar of a 3rd basemen to a DH?

One is being paid over 15M. The other is being paid 4M. Very simple.

your comment hurts my feelings.

 

[da55bums]

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.

They don't let him out of his "condo" very much

fwar includes defense.. which dh plays no part in... once again... why would you compare fwar of a 3rd base to a DH?

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

your comment hurts my feelings.

How could they? You don't even understand them.

 

[MiamiVice]

lol at da55bums begging for my attention.

Opportunity cost, of course. I am implying the Tigers would've been better off letting Vmart net a 1st round pick.

I do not dispute that.

 

[Gulf of Brazil]

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

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

 

[broncosmitty]

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.

There's a chance VMart out performs Uribe, but that doesn't really seem like it should be a competition.


Prolly wouldn't have had to sign guys like Aviles and Pelfry if it weren't for Victor not retiring.

Although Cleveland is NOT a legit WS contender - 11 teams have better odds.

Tigers signed a 39 yr old to close games, that FAILED - so seeing the Tigers dumb signing not work, it makes sense to apply it to another team.

Didn't the Tigers try to win a WS with Brandon Inge at 3rd as well. The Tigers really have some experience in this area.
