Any interest in Bernie Williams?

[Stu]

Just wondering if he would make sense on a 1-year deal for CF. He's 38, but he can still produce and has a bit of pop. The Yankees are saying they don't know if they have room for him next season.

NO

Since we play in the NL and we don't use the designated hitter, I'd say no.

 

He can't play the outfield anymore.

If he was 28, I'd be all for it. However, his best years are way behind him.

[abuck1220]

his best years were very, very good. i remember being surprised at how productive he was during the late 90s.

[BRASKYS SCOTCH]

In what, seeing him in Cubbie blue or playing with his band at the Cubby Bear? ... There is only one right answer to that question.

SURE, AS A DOUBLE A MANAGER

Juan Pierre can throw farther than Bernie. I always liked him, but do not want to see him on the roster next year.

And the early '00s.

 

Check out 2002:

 

.333/.415/.493

154 games, 204 hits, 19 homers, 102 RBIs. Hard to believe he only came in 10th in MVP voting that year.

 

 

He's got a lifetime OBP of .381. I realize it probably doesn't make sense, but he is such a great player who I think was actually under the radar a bit in NY, if that's possible, when compared to Jeter and other teammates.

 

He still plays in the outfield by the way -- only played 30 games as DH last year because of injuries to Sheff and Matsui.

[BigbadB]

He no longer has the range to play CF.

[neely crenshaw]

wow..it would be really interesting to watch an outfield with arms like bernie and jj in center and right! if you think jj has a bad arm..bernie makes pierre look like a cannon! he is better off kicking the ball into the infield

Maybe in the wheelchair league.... or the Pepsi Truck league. I tell you that boy is old!

He shouldn't be driving at his age.
