Quebecois Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 I hate having Arod back in the division. After all the talk of the yankees being dismantled this year, it looks like theyre coming back with all pieces in tact. Their rotation might be sketchy but those bats will make up for it during the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetsniper Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 I don't know, I was more worried about A-Rod going to the Angels. Him being back in New York doesn't bother me, they still won't accomplish anything. I really doubt Lowell wants to move to 1B too, he'll look for a team where he can play third. I'm still believing he'll suck it up and take the 3 year deal with Boston rather then the 4 year deal he wants too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quebecois Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 Yeah it probably doesn't worry you because you've already proven your a better team than the Yankees. If we go in with the same roster (indications are that we will), then how do we expect to suddenly be a better team than them? Although i do believe that Glaus, and especially Wells, will have much better seasons than last year so that alone might help... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quebecois Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 oh and I'd love to see some team overpay for Lowell. Don't get me wrong, he's good for the Sox to have and they can obviously pay him what he's worth for the numbers he gave them, but man he wouldnt be near the player he is if he wasn't at fenway. Just looking at his spray chart it was obvious that Fenway provided a major boost for his numbers, and yankee stadium would not accomadate him at all.

jetsniper Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 Yeah, I think he batted .100 higher at home over on the road. I could be wrong on that figure though but it's around there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTH Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 It's the Yankees, they'll still try to do that. I've heard they are ready to offer Mike Lowell big money to play 1B. If they have money for him, they have money for pitching. Thing is, the FA pitching this year is awful. I mean, only one SP available had an ERA under 4.00, and he only pitched two games! (John Thompson) In the Gazette, it said that Lowell was being offered a 4-year deal paying him 60 million dollars a season. I assume that's a mistake and they mean 60 million in total, averaging out to 15 a year? Otherwise, that's just insane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
