how about Masterson and Kennedy
That would be better, same age and similar ceilings IMO.

reasonable
but in a thread on this site: http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2007/11/yankees-may-req.html

im in a heated debate about lester v. kennedy

so i need to prove my point here because kennedy is simply the better prospect.

Lester is better long-term
As a lefty, it's expected to be a bit inconsistent.  He has better stuff than Kennedy, he just needs to get more effective with his pitches, and could breakthrough to become a #2 when he's 25-26.  But I think Kennedy would beat up Masterson in a smackdown.

LOL
Please MRKUPE can you volunteer your time and help me out with a very lengthy and informative smackdown?

I'm sure he'd love to help you but i think you should realize that he doesn't get paid for those breakdowns.

haha i know
i wasn't trying to be rude, just saying you should keep in mind what those smack downs are; very lengthy and time consuming.

and usually
not very rewarding.

Yeah, if he needs mrkupe to do a smackdown
in order to come up with an argument to support his stance, maybe he should consider the validity of his stance in the first place.

And I actually think Kennedy is a better prospect, just kind of confused that you are in an argument and are looking for someone else to give you reasoning for the argument.

Finally, who really cares if the other person you are arguing with thinks Lester is better?  Does it really matter?

exactly
and why not creating his own smackdown and then letting others comment/critique it?

There are very few creating posts here with detailed smack-downs or prospect analysis.

by pedrophile on Nov 12, 2007 7:16 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

in that case
i will make a smackdown

p.s. there was a heated argument i had on mlbtraderumors.com and the site is posted below if u want to read it

please do create one, or more :)
I've always liked prospect writeups and learn so much more from them over rankings. I've tried to create some here and take a little pride in them. And MrKupes ones kick ass.

I've love for you and others to create a few. I may disagree with some points (as we all do) but will appreciate it of course.
