The guy had major surgery on his shoulder. At his age you would expect a Chin Ming Wang performance. Of course he was happy seeing he was locating his pitches a lot better at the end finishing with 3 straight Ks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At his age you would expect a Chin Ming Wang performance. Of course he was happy seeing he was locating his pitches a lot better at the end finishing with 3 straight Ks. Essentially. You guys pick up an all-time great pitcher with something to prove. If he gives you one good season that's all you need, that was the intelligent part of this move. He wasn't signed to be a #2 or 3, he was signed to hold up that back end of the rotation. And if he does well then you could still trade away Penny and bring up Bucholz (sp?), the Sox got options. I wasn't on this board then but I was one of the few people who thought the Bay/Manny trade was an excellent move for the BoSox. We tortured you for many years, so until you beat us why should I have taken you guys seriously then? But now you are the top dogs, and the only way to be objective is to know your enemies. I hate the Red Sox, but think they're a well run franchise that we're playing catch up to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree in calling a ball park a "joke". Ballparks are built to play a certain way, but the truth is you still have to defend and win in your house. For example when we played you guys, hey there's right field, blast away. Citi is built to play big in the sense of flyballs, but small in the idea of "small ball". You build your clubs based on that. And isn't Wright hitting in the 320's at home?? I'd take that any day, PLEASE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. I mean I see your point... and it's gonna impact the way we build ball clubs. We're not gonna seduce pitchers to play for us if they give up 3 hr's a game. But switch-hitting or lefty power bats are gonna be jumping to come play to pad those stats. While it'll probably be the inverse for you, but speed guys who make contact will salivate to play at Citi. To me that's one of the great things of baseball, building parks to YOUR teams advantage if you build your team correctly. I haven't been to either stadiums but they both look nice.

You'd be nuts to think that the current Yankees are a better ran franchise than Boston right now. They pretty much are the model franchise in all of baseball. The Smoltz deal was a low risk-high reward type of deal, you can't seriously be knocking it after Smoltz have given you one start. It's assinine.
