So you start a whole new thread on it? I'd scratch it if I could find it ol man!

A Sox fan concerned about a situation with the Cubs..


Shocking

You're a business savant also....the Cub move is like taking the top Salemen in your company and making him a fork lift driver

Check your facts. Z is the top paid fork lift driver but the least productive. If you can't cut him than you have to find other ways to justify his pay. Keeping him in the bullpen when you have 5 solid starting pitchers(assuming Lilly comes back being Lilly like) makes sense. You need an 8th inning guy and this might just light the fire in your pen, and under Z. I don't see for one second how this hurts.

Dumbass. You just described Carlos Marmol, and many other top relievers / closers. Do you realize most start as bad or mediocre starters, get moved to the bullpen, and suddenly become stars?

Peavy got shelled last night.

Your reading comprehension is quite low. Marmol is a 'top reliever / productive set-up man' according to most in baseball. You did not limit this to closers or save numbers only. You said productive set-up man. I gave you a specific example of a bad starter who turned into a productive set-up man, and you call me the dipshit? Funny thing was, I didn't even call him a 'star.' I just said many star relievers in general were previously poor starters.

If Peavy has 2 more outings like this one tonight will Steve Stone start quoting the remaining dollars on Peavy's deal each time he says his name?

$15 Mill Base in 2011
$17 Mill Base in 2012
$22 Mill Base in 2013 ( $25,000 Bonus if he gets 3rd place in Cy Young voting, lol)

Hey, that's $54 million!

On B&B the other day, Stone was asked about Carlos Quinten (sp?) and the fact that in spring training he indicated that he was a changed person and not wouns do tight..or whatever...and B&B pointed out the fact that just 3 weeks into the season he is back to his old ways...yadda yadda... Stone proceeds then to answer the question somehow someway by talking for almost 3 mintes about the Cubs having Carlos Zambrano in the bullpen, etc... NEVER once addressing the question he was asked. What an ASSHOLE. I wish B&B would hold him more accountable to answer their questions.
