Lester gets first loss, Yanks win in 10, Gronks arm is infection free.

Dude was the best analyst in baseball before un-retiring.

word

you wont hear me say a bad thing about tito either

and I loved him as an analyst on ESPN

Which GM drafted Joey Votto, Jay Bruce, Todd Frazier, Homer Bailey, signed Johnny Cueto off a banana boat, and gave up nothing in trades for Brandon Phillips and Bronson Arroyo?

Hint: Nobody thinks he's a great GM, evidenced by the fact that he was fired, and hasn't been offered another job as GM.

Is Schotzie still alive, Johnny? I liked that hound.

"those guys suck"

Those guys do suck...in comparison to virtually any other teams "top 3 players drafted over the past 10 years", yes...that's a pretty shitty track record if that's the best you can come up with....

but im saying it anyway!!

to spite JD

 

[Village Plumber]

David Robertson is in any conversation for best set up man in the game
----

BWAhAHAHA!!!

It's not 2011 anymroe Dirt...time to wake up.

Um, what?

A set up man who currently sports a .225 OPS against (no, that's not a typo) in High Leverage situations isn't still in the conversation for best set up man?

It was that run he gave up with a 5-1 lead Saturday, wasn't it

 

[DirtDirtDirt]

The Red Sox will miss the postseason again and we will have to sit here same time next season and here about their farm system

Unreal, let's just agree we set different standards for the teams we cheer for

It was written into Marge's will that Schotzie be buried with her...alive.

Not overly high on any of them, but two of the three are starting CF'ers for teams that went to the ALCS last season, and the other has won a shit-load of games for an average to below average team.

 

[Ron Burgundy]

The Rays are the exception to a lot of rules

Down and Ron

Can I get the Top 10 minor league systems from 2005

Id like too see how their Major league club has fared

Thank you

How bout what Oakland did last year?


And why is you sneezing at the 07 Red Sox who got huge contributions from Pedroia, Ellsbury, Youkilis, Papelbon, Lester and DelCarmen?

 

[Uno]

name me all the teams that have done better with their top 3

 

[Kate Upton]

You call Willy Mo Pena nothing!?!?!?

Oh he was something...in batting practice.

This GM also had the foresight to use a rule 5 pick on Josh Hamilton.

Great GM right?

Hes a waste of time

Everyone on the Yankees sucks according to him

First place and the GM also sucks

 

[Down38st8]

Why is a minor league system so important if the ones that have the great ones never win on the major league level?
----

San francisco giants...consistently one of the better farm system over the past 10 years...

"terrible team"

~ Dirt


Rangers, Rays, Tigers and we're now seeing the Royals and Orioles, all rebuilt their franchises through the farm system...

If you think it has no effect? You're very naive...you think this, because the yanks payroll has allowed them to over come their shortcomings in drafting and developing homegrown talent...

This is the entire point Snoogs is making...all Cashman has done...is sign $200m worth of talent every year...and rode that talent to "division titles"

Big fucking whoop...what Freidman is doing down in Tamps is 100X more impressive than anything cashman, and for that matter theo, have ever done...I'm just not such a raging homer that I can't admit that...

Ron

You already told us Josh Beckett won the Red Sox the 2007 World Series

You may wanna shut up

Be better than this.


Thanks in advance.

what do all of those teams have in common? High draft picks through years of sucking...cashman has done well with very low draft picks...he's not the best drafter...but he's not abysmal like you retards are claiming


he's an average drafter, great in IFA's, great with fringe FA's, and average with high priced FA's...that's a good/great GM

Is it Ok if we point out that Arroyo and Bailey suck?

 

[DirtDirtDirt]

3 titles in the 10 teams combined that Down just listed

And he made it clear it all a out the titles

Good job

"I refuse to provide any evidence to support my conclusion, but I'm right!"

You also said robertson isn't one of the best setup men in baseball....or are you backtracking on that one too and blaming me in the process?
