Red Sox throttle hapless M's,make the smart move, add Peavy for pennies on the dollar

Yeah I can see the headlines now..." Fist pump gone wrong lands pitcher on DL"

I'm laughing already.

Sad part is that, with Qualls, it may end his career.

What a way to go. He could tell his grandkids that he went out celebrating.

You know that when I saw that Johnson was added to that trade, I knew the D-Backs fucked that trade up. I still don't get why he was included in that trade. He may not be this good with the batting average, but he is still a quality 3B that can give you anywhere from 15-25 HRs and .260+ average for a few years. That's a guy that should not have been virtually a throw-in.

I'd rather have Prado, a guy that can play multiple positions. Well that's what I thought at the time of the trade, but Gattis was destroying the baseball in ST. Gattis can play multiple positions but has tremendous power. A throw back kind of player, no batting gloves...etc. Prado was still more versatile. If Atlanta can r*pe a front office by midnight, I'm fine with that.

Remember when PH told everyone the Marlins Cameron Maybin was going to be better than Calos Gomez from the Mets. No one really knows how most of these young players will turnout but it is funny listening to PH.

Ok, I was wrong about that.

Remember when you dipshits said that Lastings Milledge was better than Cody Ross and Josh Willingham?

How about some of you on both the CBS and E!SPN boards that said that Fernando Martinez was better than Giancarlo Stanton?

Here's some memories for you:

LMAO Fernando Martinez and Stanton now you are flat out making stuff up.Martinez has never been compared to Stanton they weren't even prospects at the same time, go PH go

 

[Brahmsian]

now say it in english

He's saying the Red Sox are like a bunch of pirates who have gotten away with a robbery,I believe.

Personally I'm not that impressed with the deal at first glance. The players we got are going to have their work cut out convincing me they were worth giving up Iglesias for.

Yeah, Prado is a loss, but you did get both Upton and Johnson. To me, you seriously won that trade.

Who are you guys looking it pitching-wise? I feel you guys need a frontline starter. You're an excellent team, but I feel lack 1 frontline starter to win it all.

Yes they were. Martinez has been a prospect for like 5 or 6 years. Stanton came up in 2010. There was at least 1 of you on CBS and a couple of others on E!SPN that said that crap about Martinez vs Stanton. And a multitude of you said that Ike Davis was better than Stanton and even as good as Posey.

Oh beautiful! Minor League ball! Just ignore Major League performance because Minor League performance take precedence over that.

Let's see...should I put more stock in wheelers 8 major league starts...or his 81 minor league starts...hmmm...tough one...

Hmmm...then we can wait longer on all of these pitchers. Just tell E!SPN and FOX that.

wheelers gonna be a stud

forgot who they fleeced for him

No one out there worth trading for at this point. They have plenty of young pitching and bull pen depth. Downs helps out considering both their best lefties are pretty much done and Venters arm is shredded from all the work he's put in the past 3 seasons. I don't see them making any more moves.

He was part of the Carlos Beltran trade.

 

[Teal Swordsman]

I didn't say he's not gonna be a stud. I was just pointing out that there are 2 other young studs on another NL East team that E!SPN and FOX refuse to mention.

Since I only offered an opinion of what I thought Turner would be in the future? How can I wait until later to do that?

I like him, especially in that ballpark where you can get away with being a contact pitcher, but I don't think he's got the ceiling of a top of the rotation starter...Wheeler does...Fernandez does....

Since you love MLB samples over minorleague track records and scouting projections...who is it again you don't think matt harvey is the best young pitcher in baseball?

oh...yeah, he plays for the mets and you've got more bias than ESPN, CNN, Fox News, MSNBC and Bill Maher combined...

probably because no one cares

Now...if only there were 5 people in his teams home state that knew who he was....

No...I'm making major league projections based on minor league performance...

And I still get a chuckle when a Marlins fan brings up PED's as if his team didn't purchase a world series by bringing in the games biggest steroid freaks...

Harvey looks like the real deal. Wheeler looks like a legit frontline starter. I'm just pointing out that the duo in Miami is also as capable - especially since they both are younger than Harvey and Wheeler. Both have been pitching better than Wheeler. Harvey is having an excellent season. I believe that Fernandez can be at that level soon too because he's a notch behind, while being 4 years younger than Harvey. Wheeler and Turner, while different in their approaches, I think are the same caliber of pitchers. That's all I'm saying.

I'm not bashing the Mets duo in this. just pointing out a fact that there is another duo that are doing some things that are being ignored by the kiddy networks.
