Jet/BosoxFan Posted June 11, 2005 Share Posted June 11, 2005 Well at least that young lefty you gave up (*Something* Claussen I think) for Aaron Boone hasnt panned out as a big leaguer. And your front office had the foresight to trade for Alex Rodriguez and Randy Johnson when both players flew under everyone elses' radar. See...they've made some genius moves too. You take the good with the bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackout Posted June 11, 2005 Share Posted June 11, 2005 also you forgot the best of them all nick johnson: .340 BA, 38 RBI and only missed 1 game all year but jeff weaver still sucked too much to worry about that trade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
124 Posted June 11, 2005 Share Posted June 11, 2005 And there list the reasons why once George realizes we can't win the Big Name guys that we will have nobody left in the minor league system which will put us in a 20 year tailspin of no championships.

I was running the list of players through my mind but I just forgot to put down his numbers. While he is having a great year I can't say that dealing him bothered me at the time. For a guy his age he's had wayyy to many notable trips to the DL to ignore. As far as Brandon Claussen, I left him out because his nubmers aren't very good right now but he did have a 2.45 ERA after his first few starts and the guy is definitely showing signs of being a legit MLB hurler. His ERA is 4.50 but one of his worst starts was in Colorado (huge surprise) and one terrible game against the best team in baseball (the cards). Other than that the guy has been very good with a 2.32 ERA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomShane Posted June 11, 2005 Share Posted June 11, 2005 I have always had a man-crush on Nick Johnson. That guy just knows how to hit. A beautiful stroke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barton Posted June 11, 2005 Share Posted June 11, 2005 sorry I just have to chime in here NICK JOHNSON: boy do I miss seeing this guy. He had such great plate coverage, a great eye, took walks. He could hit the inside pitch outa the park and drive the ball to the opposite field on the outside pitch. I almost cried when we traded him, he was growing into 1 of my favorite Yankees. Not to mention he plays a solid 1st base. Sorry, but Vazquez's numbers suck, especially in that big arizona ballpark and in the NL Lieber is inconsistent, he gets shalacked every other start. Halsey is a decent pitcher, but didn't have a single great pitch but still developing. Navarro is decent, but he's done nothing at the MLB level. Letting Petitte go 2 years ago really hurt me, I took masking tape and crossed out his face on all the posters I had, but he's not doing to well down in houston either. Pena is a great power man...ugh drew henson. Brazoban is gonna be a great relief pitcher, stupid stupid move by cashman Nick Johnson..........I miss this guy. Please Cashman, bring him back in pinstripes!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFJF Posted June 11, 2005 Author Share Posted June 11, 2005 Sorry, but Vazquez's numbers suck, especially in that big arizona ballpark and in the NL Dude, you have to look at the big picture...his numbers are GREAT over his past ten starts. The guy got absolutely LIT UP on opening day (7 ER in 1.2 IP) The 10 ER in his next 11 IP..since then his ERA is 3.04. So three times this season he's been lit up (his most recent start) but in his last ten starts, he's given up 4 runs or less 8 times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

124 Posted June 11, 2005 Share Posted June 11, 2005 I would take the youth and promise of Javier Vazquez and Brad Halsey over Randy Johnson anyday. Johnson, even if he was pitching well this year we all well know he would be only here for this year and maybe next, what a waste of 3 young good promising players. Should've kept Lieber, El Duque, Dionar Navarro and Yancy Brazoban. Mo Pena, who was he traded for? I'm sorry, no clue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxman Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 Nick Johnson is having a nice season. But cmon guys with his injury history him staying here was not an option. How many games did he miss last year? NY Fans aren't the most patient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
