And can we turn down the rhetoric a bit please, we can disagree wthout the personal jabs and stuff. I try to always be a gentleman at Orioleshangout and for the most part am treated that way there.

 

These attacks from both sides accomplishes nothing except it's taking place on our board and it makes us look bad.

ESPN's insider scouting report seems to agree with me on Bigbie. ALl I said was he ias average and can be good, and you all say he is worthless.

Fair enough, I never said he wasnt. But that doesnt make him a horrible player

Sportsbamer, let me join Maverick in saying please forgive some of the children here (sigh). Obviously Gibbons isn't on steroids, etc.

 

But I also agree with Mav regarding Bigbie, outside of being a lefty bat, I don't see where he helps the Fish. I'd take Gibbons in a heartbeat, I like the way he plays the game, even if he's never going to be an all-star, I think you'd agree that in a choice between the two in an important situation, he's the guy you want up at the plate, not Bigbie.

Then that penguin loser likes to put words in my mouth. I say usualy pitchers numbers improve going to the NL., and he takes it as I am saying Julio and Kline will be great. All I am saying is better than now.

:lol

 

That isn't very comforting. In other words, not worth trading Burnett for.

 

It sounds like you are basing everything on gut feelings, which makes for poor arguments.

 

Your attempts to justify this trade for the Fish are futile.

Gut feeling? No. I have used some fact, some analysis by ESPN, and logic. All you have said is this guy is horrible and that guy is useless, you have said nothing to support your case

I'm talking about Kline and Julio here...

 

Haven't their performances so far this season been enough to prove they won't help the Fish? Why should they settle for underperforming relievers when they can contact teams out of the race?

 

If you want me to look up stats, I could, but it's not really necessary.

If they both perform as they are now than Kline will only hurt and Julio will only help sometimes. I think Julio just needs a change of scenery , he has the tools, maybe not the head. Julio was lights out until early June and since he has been pretty bad. With Kline, I just find it hard to believe a guy can be so good then be so bad the next year, not sure how he would do there but I think going back to the NL would help him, I wish he would be traded to an AL team so the Orioles can smash him lol.

personally if the red sox gave up Arroyo and Hanely and another minor leaguer to us I would jump over the deal for AJ and Lowell.

 

That would give us a good young starter for next year. Then a SS for next year that is an All star capable player in the future. Along with Hermida that gives us a solid young duo (plus cabrera and aguila). We would have youth again to compliment our team next year.

 

You can get relief pitchers elsewhere with things.

Marlins 2005, yeah it wasnt you that said he was useless. You are a gentleman here and on orioleshangout.com and it is appreciated. I hope I didnt make anybody mad, just sometimes things can get heated when debating sports, never personal, thats when I am done when people go to name calling just over disagreeing about a team or player. I think we all overrate our own players and it is obvious when we talk to each other lol.

Reed is a speedster that knows how to play good solid small ball. He will be our CF after next year when Pierre leaves for big cash. He has a good solid arm and speed. He knows how to bunt and play the infield hits. He has good instincts on the bases. Of course little power and really a typical NL lead off hitter.

I doubt the Red Sox are going to deal Hanley and especially not Arroyo and Hanley for Burnett and Lowell. When the Red Sox and Marlins talked about a deal in the offseason, the proposed deal was Hanley for Burnett straight up so theres no way him AND Arroyo are involved in the deal unless we get someone alot more talneted and cheaper than Lowell.

Well, apparently my opinion doesn't mean as much across the interweb as it did 24 hours ago ( :lol apparently I'm being compared to some guy named Maalox, a little help there Passion if you please), but here's why I don't like the Orioles deal:

 

- I'm not going to lie when I say that I wanted Steve Kline signed this past offseason, because I believed he would do better than Matt Perisho (and by consequence, Valerio De Los Santos and Chad Bentz). He as good numbers, don't get me wrong. But how are we to be sure he isn't damaged goods after what pitching in Camden Yards has done to him? Another sign of worry is his unusually high ERA on the road since 2002. Why, pitching in Busch Gardens and Camden Yards, would Kline stuggle on the road (4.46 ERA, 83.2 IP, 76 H, 41 ER, 9 HR, 47 K / 35 BB) while pitching well at home (1.81 ERA, 90.2 IP, 71 H, 18 ER, 2 HR, 60 K / 33 BB). Does pitching with a negative crowd get to him? One thing is for sure, he was a good reliever and could regain his magic. But at this point for him to be the centerpiece of a deal (or the second best player, as he is here) tells you it's not a solid deal for the best available arm in the Majors.

 

- Acquiring Admin Bigbie, from a Marlin perspective, is pointless. We would be much better served bringing Hermida up and having an OF of Hermida/Pierre/Encarnacion with Cabrera at third than having Bigbie starting and platooning with Jeff Conine. Even then, I might just prefer to play Niner everyday if they don't call Hermida up and have someone better made available to us, even if he isn't what he used to be.

 

- Jorge Julio would enter as maybe the fourth best reliever on this team talent wise, if not worse, so there's no point. He is proven, but that doesn't mean he is proven at being good. Todd Jones, Guillermo Mota, Jim Mecir, Antonio Alfonseca all are better and "proven." Chris Resop and Randy Messenger have more talent. The only person Julio is better than is De Los Santos, and DLS gets the nod because he throws with his left arm instead of his right.

 

- Hayden Penn is money. But trading AJ for Penn and parts make no sense.

 

And as an aside, I think that Tomas Perez hit might have officially made us sellers.

The rumored deal earlier on in the year in the papers was Arroyo and Hanely. I know they would most likely not give up that kid unless straight up. But shall see. Depends on what happens with Schilling I think.

 

But, I think whomever gets AJ is gonna overpay. Partly to keep him out of the hands of the Yanks or whomever else wants him in the AL.

 

Schilling, Clement, AJ, Wells, Wakefield. Now that is a sick pitching line up. Can you say repeat for the Bosox? Put lowell at third and mueller over to 2nd
