This thread needs to go in the archives just for its brilliant use of metaphors.

I'll take it.

Name the bet. And I don't the cheap stuff either.:

Ahhhhh, no, no, no - you started the bet, so you get to call it :allovrjr:Name the bet. And I don't the cheap stuff either.

Ah, but beyond a certain point, our archives are like the Library at Alexandria.
Makes all the routine posts.
I'll have to take some time to think about what I want.

Actually I think we're underarchived. I'm amazed we never got the 2003 Lidle signing thread in the archives. Likewise, Sandy's 1940 World Series thread isn't in there. A lot of pre-season predictions didn't make it either.

Agreed. I meant in the sense that the Library of Alexandria's collection, which was once the pride of antiquity, is now lost. Not unlike countless "Caption This Picture" threads.

So if this thread isn't preserved we could be looking at a new Dark Ages, hmm ...Agreed. I meant in the sense that the Library of Alexandria's collection, which was once the pride of antiquity, is now lost. Not unlike countless "Caption This Picture" threads.

What are the categories to define "outperforms"?
Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity.
Name it. All of them. OPS against, WHIP, ERA (park adjusted).

Not that I'm all about Ramon MWM, but I just have a strong distaste for what Lidle brings to the mound.
Maybe I don't have enough familiarity with Ortiz to breed that type of contempt, but I'll take that bet.
Just for the fun of it...Not that I'm confident that I'll win or anything.
"Baseball players are smarter than football players. How often do you see a baseball team penalized for too many men on the field?" ~ Jim Bouton
Here is the question I ask myself after this trade. Are the Reds a better baseball team today than they were yesterday because of this deal? The answer has to be yes. I really like the trade. I think he will win 12 or 13 games.
Everyone seams to think that not tendering DeAngelo Jimenez another contract is a bad thing. Guys, it's DeAngelo Jimenez, Ryan Freel is a better player and cheaper too.
Maybe this means that the "Kearns Project" is going well.
I'm optimistic.
"My mission is to be the ray of hope, the guy who stands out there on that beautiful field and owns up to his mistakes and lets people know it's never completely hopeless, no matter how bad it seems at the time. I have a platform and a message, and now I go to bed at night, sober and happy, praying I can be a good messenger." -Josh Hamilton
Better player or not, its not wise to get caught up in a "is not, is too" arguement. However, you can not deny that Jimenez indeed has SOME value, and it would be wise to capitalize. Nontendering, as far as I am concerned, is not even an option. We sign him, we either play him or trade him, end of story. Nontendering is reserved for players with very little or distant past, and no future, of which Jimenez is neither. Stat line:Here is the question I ask myself after this trade.

.270 AVG, .364 OBP, 12 HRs, 13 SB, 67 RBI, and most importantly, he led the league in pitches taken per at bat. I see value there.
