Bautista done for season.

Keep in mind his salary... You are saying that using 4.5 million a year in 92 dollars doesn't get you something equal or better to Carter??

He was a replacable part. His salary gets you something equal or better very, very easily.

 

If Alomar disapeared you do not get another Alomar for Alomar's money, if Olerud disapears you do not get another Olerud very easily.

 

If Winfield/Molitor disapears... it gets hard to replace them easily. That's why they were great pickups. It is hard to get a veteran DH who can still take a lot of walks, hit for average.

 

If Carter disapears for 92 and 93 can you get 4.5 WAR for the 9 million we paid him. Yes.

 

If Winfield/Molitor aren't there in 92 93 can you get 10 WAR for the 5.7 million we paid them?? Maybe. But difficult.

 

Carter could of been easily replaced. This is so ridiculous. We have Beeston because people like you refuse to use simple numbers. Numbers like 3, and 6, and 4.

 

All you need to do is say 4.5 WAR for 9 million (93 dollars)?? Good deal?? Irreplacable?? NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Christ. The fans deserve this.

 

Clutch Joe. Shake Beeston's hand. Way to go Cito!!! Just such a ******** culture around this team.

 

Now your talking about contracts from 92/93? I really couldn't care less how much money Carter made, we won a f***ing championship. I'm not sure any fans really cared about money at that time. We had the highest payroll in baseball, the best team in baseball, and record numbers of fans coming through the gate. I understand your concern though, thanks to Carter we probably won't have the money to sign any free agents in the offseason.

He lays out in detail why Carter was not that good of a player, and your rebuttal is he won a championship? ROFL. Lots of subpar players win championships. Carter was easily replaced and that team still wins the WS.

Ok... hold on... I'm trying to figure out who hit the 1993 walk off world series homer again.

 

I'm trying to figure out why I bother with people like you.

 

Oh man, there is an actual sect of fans who think that Joe Carter is one of the best Jays ever. Christ, Roger Clemens put up a higher WAR in his two years with the Jays than Carter did during his entire career.
