I might have missed people talking about this yesterday but here's the most over-zealous quote about speed I can imagine:


He's talking about Terrance Gore.

Who was the guy on the Red Sox in 2004 that everyone knew was going to steal second and still went like 7/8 when used as a pinch runner?

Guys like that might not be super valuable in a 162 game season but in a best of 7 series where small sample size rules all their value is immense. If it's a close game they can turn it around and if it's not then whoever you left off the roster to keep him wasn't going to change anything.

  • They do not take Nelson Cruz Playoff Bullshit into account

Did you mean Delmon Young here? I'm not sure Nelson Cruz can have Playoff Bullshit considering he's actually good in the regular season too.

So are scalpers buying season tickets then? Sorry, I have no idea how scalpers work under these situations.

I think you're grossly underestimating how fast limited quantities of tickets will sell.

Oh fun, apparently the Mariners ownership nixed a cheap Cruz deal last offseason ($7.5mil in 2014, $9mil club option for 2015). Kill me.

But you got Kendrys back!

They'd certainly try. Adam wainwright and lance Lynn are both ridiculously hard to steal off of though.

How much of that is Yadi, though? I'd imagine as long as a pitcher is average-above average in holding runners then that's enough with him behind the plate.
