Let me say this again —

Shame on you for trying to pa-ss off as factual and objective a valuation of worth based on a number Boras pulls out of his a-s-s.

If you left off the pontification about your ideas being factual and objective, I’d have no issue with your opinion.

But your valuation is not objective or factual and calling it such when it clearly is not is an insult to the intelligence of the readers of this blog.

It’s Lowe and a cheap starter for the backend of the rotation for me.

Now I can sleep at night knowing Harriston won’t be in the outfield.

This reminds me of a clearance sale when I see the sign, I must go in and shop around for things I might not look at if they were at full price. Omar is doing the same thing, he is going in this thinking he’ll get a bargain except one problem, the owner of the place is charging him full price.

Sure I read your posts …. and apparently you are not reading mine …

Because I actually addressed the most important point in your posts — the starting point from which you jumped to your conclusion about Lowe’s worth.

Your whole starting point is BOGUS. it’s not based on anything but Boras’ number.

And I suspect you know I’m right, which iSors why you’re obfuscating and ignoring the issue now.

Sorry, but unless you address that fallacy in your argument then your whole argument goes out the window.

i want ollie or lowe and then redding, cuz ollie and lowe is gonna be a lot of money and you can’t have one as a backend starter cuz they are not that at all, they are atleast a #3 in my opinion.

I had to chuckle at this for a moment because…

what happens if Ollie doesn’t get a contract? Are we going to see him at the Vernon Boulevard Costco in L.I.C.?

“Yes, yes. I used to pitch for the Mets. Would you like to sign up for a Costco Amex card?’

Wow. You didn’t even read the posts. Your first few posts had some intelligence in them. If you prefer a scouting approach to a sabermetrics approach that’s fine, but at least try to formulate a strong argument based on the posts.
Look kid, you’re a pretty smart kid. Go to college, think these things through. You could really start to get some good thoughts going. But I’m not going to argue with you when you just want to try to be funny and not really look at what’s out there.

Ok, so this is far off most likely but…
Who would be ok with us signing Redding and Wolf and then getting into the Manny market with the extra cash.
Wolf and Redding combined most likely would cost about what Lowe would cost.
