ha, i actually got some of these.  although it seems like a great deal, i normally only pay $5 and sit in a good seat anyway. 

[BigEd76]

sold out already.  looks like they're gonna have more from noon to 2 on Friday

lol god i cannot wait until he blows up. its a friggin toss up if this guy is gonna be any good.

[ice grillin you]

no its not

its a toss up as to whether his career gets derailed with injuries...but if hes healthy no chance he isnt a monster....this isnt kyle drabek

[MDS]

how much $

[ice grillin you]

you wanna bet that its 50/50 whether hes good or not?

[MDS]

basically ill throw 20 bucks at whether or not hes a top of the line guy assuming hes healthy. i have no clue how hes going to turn out. he could be the next carlton or the next adam eaton.

so basically you get 20 if hes as advertsied. i get 20 if hes average/mediocre/bad. no one gets anything if hes mark prior and can never stay healthy.

[rjs246]

IGY wants odds.

to much wiggle room for you to back out there...how do you determine that hes 'as advertised'

what if hes 7-10 with a 2.90 era and 200 strikeouts

and if you wanna go by top of the line hes gonna be the nats #1 pitcher almost from year one

ill pass on your awful proposal and just be content with the fact that i was right

[MDS]

haha

well since you did so much scouting and watched so much tape id figure you were confident in your 'analysis'

as rusty said ill give you odds or whatever if you want them
