  1. The Mets and Dickey were struggling to negotiate a deal and Dickey openly said he forgo negotiation talks after the season started. AA had leverage but lacked the patience.
  2. Drabek was the centrepiece and was ranked 25th place on Baseball America's prospect rankings.
  3. An assessment before the season has started is just a guess.
  4. Trading for Dickey before the season, without any understanding of how good or bad we were was a mistake. AA needed to assess the Jays potential before shipping off two of our best prospects.
  5. If were planning on selling, then start with the big names, Oliver, Davis and Izturis will bring little returns
  6. You should never give up more than you get back - a very basic and logical principle.
  7. we would be selling low at this point, better to wait and hope some of these guys improve
  8. He get's 3-0 counts because pitchers pitch more carefully than they would a Josh Thole - having said that he does swing at a lot of s***
  9. Your crazy to think Thole is an upgrade over J.P
  10. I used to hate Arencibia the most, went mental when we traded D'Arnaud - but he ain't that bad for a catcher
  11. Are you telling me there is no variance for strike zones between different umpires?
  12. because it depends on which umpire is behind the plate
  13. It's reaching in some way, but no worse than pitch framing
  14. What the hell is trolling? I thought we were having a discussion
  15. Arencibia had 151 total bases to Thole's 93 last year - Thole played more games
  16. A walk is only one base a HR is 4 bases
  17. Thole only had 27 BB last year, I consider a HR the equivalent of 4 walks
  18. Thole plays slightly better D (doesn't throw real well), hit for about the same average and a OBP maybe under .300. I'll take the clutch hitting, higher HR and RBI totals.
  19. The guy who hit .234, 1 HR in the NL last year? That guy? He didn't win a gold glove - if you were a GM, would you trade Arencibia for Thole?
  20. You wrote that already, tell me what other option we have than Arencibia
  21. I'd prefer to hear about what better option we have than Arencibia
  22. I'm sick of hearing about OBP, can't understand why people think it's the be all end all of stats
