Dice K could be 28-0 for all I care. He's not that good. If he played for Washington, KC, Oakland, Pittsburgh, Houston, etc....or any other team that didn't give him a ****load of run support, people would be calling him a piece of **** and a bust with the numbers he's put up.
He got ******* rocked last night by the Tribe. 12 hits and 6 earned runs in 5 2/3 innings? That sucks cock no matter who you're playing. Gyro ball, LMFAO
Why is it that the Yankees are wrong, ****ed up, stupid, and a bunch of *******s for spending a ton to get Roger Clemens (who even at 43 is 10X the pitcher Dice K is), but it's alright for Boston to waste 100 mil on a guy who hasn't really done much of anything except pick up wins due to a ton of run support?
I don't get it.
Now Jeff Weaver? That guy is a fool, and so are the Mariners for paying him more than the 500K a year that he's worth, if that.
Kendall sucks too....but he's never been an "extra base hitter", so that's an unfair stat to use against him. IMO he sucks because he's hitting .182 and he couldn't throw out a 90 year old man trying to steal 2nd base....but then neither could Mike Piazza when he was a full time catcher....and no one cried about him and called him a bust and overpaid because of it since he could hit home runs. That's all people care about anyway. Who can hit the ball the longest.
Sizemore's salary is a joke. I realize he will make a fotrune till all is said and done if he stays healthy, but getting a guy who is easily a top 10 hitter in all of MLB for under a mil a year? That's a steal any way you slice it.
I'm not sure how Placido Polanco is considered a bargain at 4.6 Mil though. I sure as hell wouldn't pay the guy more than that, seeings as how he's always injured. 4.6 Mil actually sounds about right for him. Quality player (when healthy), but not spectacular, and nowhere near worthy of the big bucks.
Oh well, someone had some extra time on his hands and decided to write an article, lol. I do actually agree with most of these, and look at the teams who are throwing a ton of money at basically worthless, or at least average players. NYY (obviously), BOS, SEA (they have a ton of overpaid guys who IMO who didn't make the list) and LAA basically, with a few other teams with a guy or two sprinkled in there, but ****, everyone makes a mistake here and there in judgement of a player. Seriously though, WTF? MLB can't see this as a problem?
