MattZ Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 I always loved how much hate he got from mets fans for his consecutive 130, 120, 140 ops+ seasons. Just imagine how much you will love the hate from Cubs fans!! Love all around!! Link to post Share on other sites
bobbob1313 Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 The boos in citi field are going to be so loud when the mets collapse every year there. That place is designed for max loudness. Link to post Share on other sites

They may collapse every year there, but at least their run differential and OPS+ won't be that bad!! That's all that matters anyway!! Link to post Share on other sites

Leo Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Enough!He hit .220 last year, 37/13/43. Yet ESPN reports Tek's negotiations with the Bosox as if he were Bench or Piazza in their prime.The mighty have fallen. (And he wasn't that mighty to begin with).Move the f@#k on!

Lammycat Posted January 30, 2009 Author Share Posted January 30, 2009 'Tek was very mighty in his prime and served the team very well in how he handled pitchers and back-stopped. He's snearing at the offer and BOS is best to move on to Salty, etc. Link to post Share on other sites

Lammycat Posted January 30, 2009 Author Share Posted January 30, 2009 His last great season was 05.Yeah, probably the end of his prime. He still served plenty of value defensively the past couple of seasons but he's a back-up part time guy now and he and Boras don't think that's the case, apparently. Link to post Share on other sites

Lammycat Posted February 1, 2009 Author Share Posted February 1, 2009 He was really dumb to have turned down arbitration.I agree. I wonder how much of an influence Boras had in that. Apparently they thought there'd be more of a market for him and couldn't read the writing on the wall soon enough. Link to post Share on other sites
bobbob1313 Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 The Reds are going to hit, even with losing Dunn. Who knows what their pitching could do, but there are pieces there. Link to post Share on other sites
tongue-tied lightning Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 peices of my broken heart we could end up 10 overr 500, or naother 10 below year. it's always about pitching, we have some arms, and some young bats.unless we can become an Oakland, Minnesota type of franchise we'll never win.perhaps a salary cap will finally happen in the next 20 years, lol Link to post Share on other sites
bobbob1313 Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 There are those (myself included) who think that a salary cap/floor would hurt small market teams more than anything. It might increase competitive balance (Arguable), but it would hurt small market teams much more financially. Link to post Share on other sites

Apparently they thought there'd be more of a market for him and couldn't read the writing on the wall soon enough.I saw a story where Tek said he didn't know about the draft pick thingy when he turned down arbitration. If that's true, Boras should have definitely made that clear to him. Link to post Share on other sites
