Or is the chemistry thing just because he's Korean?most of them speak english, or if not, there are others who speak spanish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forgive me for being excited about a reasonably priced, low-risk high-reward deal that my team just made. Apparently that's not allowed anymore.Think the Orioles should stop being so damn cheap and resign Chris Davis, instead of pretending to the fans that they give a :censored: about winning.

But that doesn't have anything to do with the Kim deal being a bad one imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that doesn't have anything to do with the Kim deal being a bad one imo.i might rather have pedro alvarez+chen than davis.Pedro might be defensively horrific, but a mostly full time DH and Trumbo at 1B can hold the O's until Mancini is ready to take over, perhaps halfway through the season Formerly known as DiePerske Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FiddySicks Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Oh no, I just mean that the Yankees current trend of stockpiling back of the bullpen help reminds me of the Sixers drafting three centers in three years. Obviously not exactly the same, but an interesting comparison IMO. Seems a bit strange to have THREE different closers (Betances could be a closer on most teams I think), no matter how good they all are. Especially when their rotation is a shaky Tanaka followed by some meh and a few guys off the street.

The_Admiral Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Man, pmoehrin wrote all that stuff for a misinterpreted analogy. It's like when you see a guy get kicked in the balls and your own balls hurt. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiddySicks Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Well if it makes the kick any softer, it was still an awesome write up! And he's completely right about what he wrote. That Yankees all-time bullpen is absolutely amazing, and that would be a good comparison to the Lakers and their overall history with centers.I can't remember the Manning part all that well but basically yeah, who really cares that he used?

I know what my standing is around here for the most part and I appreciate any and all support I get from people even if I don't show it and its why I stick around.
