On pitchers going from the NL to AL:

Quote:
 
Great on great, depending on health. But for those who believe that stuff is more important in the American League, it will be interesting to see how others fare. Matt Clement's stuff is unquestioned, and his 2001-2004 record against AL teams (3.60 ERA, 73 Ks, 80 IP) is a good indicator of that stuff translating to the tougher offensive league. David Wells doesn't really count because he is a strike machine who has won in double figures in both leagues in nine of the last 10 seasons -- the one exception when he had back surgery. Jaret Wright doesn't either, because he won in Cleveland, and, anyway, his indicators (K-BB, HR/9 IP, etc.) are very good.


On Beltran

Quote:
 
There are several American League general managers who are very happy that the Yankees decided to invest all their winter dollars in pitching, and did not pursue Beltran. "He would have changed them for the next seven years," said one GM. "Understand the market. Center fielders who can do that many things are few and far between."

It is easy to say "oh, the Yankees will just go get next winter's Carlos Beltran." Yeah? Who? Johnny Damon is probably the best on the market, but while he has proven to be a winner who plays best under pressure, there are age and skill differences. While on the Boston model, there were those who wondered why they went so hard after Edgar Renteria. But the Red Sox feel that Hanley Ramirez's skills are so exceptional that three years from now Renteria at short and Ramirez in center will be a far more productive middle of the field than Ramirez at short and whomever they can find in center because those middle field, multi-dimensional outfielders are so rare (see Steve Finley).

Remember, Rob. Gammons is a Sawx fan. So therefore he thinks Clement is an ace pitcher.
