I wonder how many of those years will be with the Sox :huh: . In Loaiza's defense at least he's happy here.... Not like someone else that constantly says he wants to play for the cards.

 

But heck, Mark is a good pitcher, no Doubt Just wanna know for how much longer with the sox

just look at the poll we have going now about loaiza...he turns his career around and could possibly win the cy young and we are calling him a traitor..

Dude..... one of the biggest tools started that thread. Before you start bashing the whole board because of one or two morons, why don't you consider the source of said Loaiza thread.

If you say so, he LOST 3 straight games, 2 of which we needed badly.

 

Loaiza's three starts were;

 

7 IP 7 H 5 ER 1 BB 9 K (not stellar, but not horrible either)

 

The bad one when he was sick....

 

6 IP 7 H 3 ER 3 BB 6 K (a quality start that is good enough to win most of the time)

 

Give him some offense and he could have won 2 of the 3 starts.

 

Abo, get you head out of the ass of W's and L's. It is a team game and takes more than one guy to win or lose. Can you say Elo didn't pitch his best? Yes. Is it accurate to say he choked? Hell no.

If you go by that logic, many of Buehrle's losses should be excused since he got no run support to start the season.

At least 3.

 

And also, he has never flat out said he wants to pitch for STL.

 

he's basically said he roots for the cards, who aren't even in our league or on our schedule this season, so i really don't see a problem with it.

 

And if he does go to STL, I don't blame him, look at the way this organization operates. Would you want to play for the Sox if you were in his shoes?

 

people ask questions, he gives an answer and is crucified for it.

Most here give MB a break knowing what happened earlier on in the season. You're one of the smarter posters here. I'm kind of surprised that you agree with Roman of all people in regards to Loaiza's last 3 starts. But hey..... to each his own.

Ortiz this year:

28 homers 96 rbis .285 average...all career highs

Konerko stats:

2002-27 homers 104 rbi's .304 avg.

2001-32 homers 99 rbi's .282avg.

2000-21 homers 97 rbi's .298avg.

 

...keep in mind the red sox have one of the greatest offenses in the history of baseball right now and also where they play...but that must not have anything to do with it..

 

Ivan Rodriguez makes 20% of his teams salary...

Mike Sweeney makes 25% of his teams salary...

Randy Johnson made 20% of the D-Backs salary when they won the World Series....

I mean, the guy didn't pitch as bad as he could have, but then again, those were big games and he didn't exactly pitch lights out.

 

Maybe we were all spoiled by the way he pitched all season. Maybe I expected too much from a guy who was considered the prime contender for the Cy Young award.

 

I don't take anything from Loaiza and the year he had, but we didn't win those games for two reasons: no offense and he didn't pitch particularly well.

Randy Johnson is an Impact player. Sweeney doesn't make that much cause the Royals Payroll is low and I Rod Makes 10 Million Deffered.

 

Still there's better out there than Konerko and cheaper for a One Dimensional Player

This thread gets nominated for one of the 5 dumbest I've ever read.

 

In fact, it's a blatant attempt to stir tempers and cause discussion that is not even warranted. The Sox are going nowhere and anyone who thinks that fans don't criticize teams everywhere has an ignorant view of the world and how things work.

 

How about coming up with something of substance before making another post...

No one is excusing anything......... but to say the guy choked reeks of baseball ignorance. It simply did not happen.

that last part was regarding maggs making 20% of the payroll next year....sorry if i confused you.

The big difference between the Marlins and us is that the Marlins have much better young pitching talent. Their rotation includes Josh Beckett, Willis, Mark Redman, Carl Pavano, and Brad Penny and not one of those guys is making a lot of money. If we want to keep Maggs and Konerko there is a good possibility we go into next year with a rotation of

1. Buehrle

2. Garland

3. Loaiza

4. Wright

5. Cotts/Rauch

sorry but I'm not sold on that rotation being able to win a division.

i think garland can fill colons role for this team and hopefully one of those young pitchers will step it up..

What makes you think that any of those guys will step up though. When a team has a limited budget, your best off building with pitching and defense. That is why Oakland has had success despite having a very low payroll over the last 3 or 4 years.

There are exceptions to every rule. But I challenge you to look at the numbers of teams that have one player making too high a percentage of payroll, and I will be willing to be that the numbers bear out to the advantage of spreading it around.
