I would take that "overrated" any day of the week in our rotation. Don't know why you think he is overrated.

I have no idea why people thought Houston was the better team in NLC before Prior went down in March.

 

Cubs were at least 5-6 games better talent-wise before Jesus went on DL and now they're even if he comes back in June. 41yo flamethrower Clemens not even sure if he wants to pitch anymore is NOT the equivalent of a 37yo soft-tosser Maddux just 1 year removed from a 2.50 ERA season. Pettite is not as good as Wood. Oswalt and his groin inflammation. Bagwell and his steroids. Biggio is old and can't play CF. Dotel doesn't have the mentality to fill in for Wagner. Miller couldn't carry Zambrano's jock. Etc.

 

And Jim Hendry won't stand idly by and watch Mitre implode. He will get a decent starter to mitigate the Prior blow. Cubs have prospects and money to get just about anyone if need be. Hendry has shown with Juan Cruz that he wants to WIN now and won't stop at the cost.

 

The only way Cubs don't make the playoffs is if Maddux, Zambrano, Alou, Borowski and Patterson have unexpectedly crappy seasons while Astros stay healthy all year long and Kent, Berkman, Hidalgo absolutely MASH.

 

Let's all pray.

We'll see how he pitches without the yankee bats backing him up. We all know that they gave him consistant leads off the back. I don't think the Stros can do that for him, and we'll see how his true form is when he pitches. (even though he got roughed up in his last outing.)

I'd have to say, regardless if someone admits it or not, many would give up a nut to have this guy on their team... :lol:

11-13 Mill a year for a 4.00 ERA pitcher who padded his stats by pitching in the spacious Yankee stadium, with an added psychological benefit of knowing that he could give up 6 ER and the Yankees offense could still give him the W?

 

Thanks but no thanks. I'd rather have Washburn (5.5), Buerhle (3.5) and Shoenweiss (1.5) for that money.

But, IMO, his playoff mindset is a HUGE asset. We can score runs.. but to have someone who can hold the fort in the post season is worth the $$. Again.. IMO. :rolleyes:

We can score runs..

 

The last time we scored runs when they really mattered was in 2000, ancient history. In 01 and 02, Sox were WAY out of contention, so the offensive numbers were padded in pressure-free situations. In 2003, Sox finished in the bottom half of AL in runs scored.

 

In short, the rumors of White Sox offensive potency have been greatly exaggerated. Starting from the 2nd half of 2000, in the last 3.5 years, Sox offense has been very, very average when the division was up for grabs.

 

but to have someone who can hold the fort in the post season is worth the $$
.

 

We'd have to make the post-season in the first place.

 

Look......back in '96-97, not only was Pettite GOOD, he was CHEAP.

In the ensuing 6 seasons, he's been pretty unspectacular at an incresingly higher salary while playing under pitcher-friendly circumstances. I'll pass.

Geezus Christ... IN MY OPINION.

No s*** it's your opinion. It was YOU who expressed it afterall. Goes without saying.

 

Just because it's an opinion doesn't make it fact check-proof or criticism-repellent.

 

Many people share this POV that Pettite is this incredible stud/bargain. I am replying to that POV -- your post was just a convenient formulation thereof.

Brando.. what the hell is your problem?

 

What about my opinion is "fact-check proof"? How in the hell is an opinion checked with facts..?

 

However.. not at all surprised your critisizing someone's opinion.. it's your specialty.

Not putting words in his mouth, but I sense he's saying an opinion can be challenged.

 

If I say "In my opinion, Frank Thomas should bat leadoff", there would be all kinds of discussion, debate, etc. about it.

 

Opinions get challenged here all the time Steff, you know that.
