Are you a bitter trolling Yankee fan? If you are I've never seen it.
Obviously I was referring to CalvinH and BF. This was meant as a joke thread, no need to take it so seriously.
No worries, this is never serious. Sometimes it's just hard to resist jumping into the fray.
Oh come on with the Clemens defense. He won 6 games and he cost $27 million and change in real dollars, not prorated dollars.
If you take the Clemens was worth it tact then you have no right to criticize the Dice-K signing and his 15 wins. Talk about hypocrites.
I've always looked at the money as irrelevant since it's not mine (the same meme sox fans have taken up the last few years). Clemens was a better option than what we had. I've said previously that the Dice-K money would be worth it if he went into the playoffs and kicked ass. So far he hasn't, and the sox have spent Clemens type money on a league avergage (104 ERA+) pitcher. The difference between Clemens and Matsuzaka is that the Yankees are free of Clemens after one year. Clemens was 18 million actual dollars, + luxury tax. I would say the acquisition was worth it to get to the postseason, but not so much after that since he left the only game he pitched.
Dice-K gets a lot of criticism because of all the hype surrounding him.
Not to mention that he's 26 and he's a rookie. And don't compare the Japanese league to MLB, it's like comparing college and MLB.
There is no comparison, but it's unfair to compare him to a AAA player coming up as well. Gammons himself has gone through this extensivley. It's all what you choose to believe.
