Btw... I asked my buddy Brian who lived/worked at Windermere at the same time as Da Bum about him. His response? "Don't ever mention his name again." LOL

 

Hahahah! Man, you gotta press this.

 

Yeah that was probably the worst thing he could have possibly said unless it's followed by a 20 minute diatribe about the misguided adventures of said Bum.

 

You were close, but it was ~15 minutes of the craziest/dumbest/annoying/etc people he had to deal with during his time there. He wouldn't go more into Da Bum at that time. I'll ask him again next time I see him.

For reasons I hope not to understand, Neifi Perez is currently at the top of Fangraphs most searched players.

Dusty really needs something better to do in his free time

 

Edit: oh wait Fangraphs, nevermind he has no idea what that is

It's probably due to Reddit. Somebody posted this thread:Road to 267.2 WAR

 

 

Which lead to somebody asking if he could come up with the lowest WAR player of all time, to which somebody responded by posting Neifi Perez.

WAR King: 1 HR per 15.3 ABs

Barry Bonds: 1 HR per 12.9 ABs

WAR King: 1 BB per 5.5 ABs

Barry Bonds: 1 BB per 3.8 ABs

Despite being comprised of literally the most valuable seasons at every age in all of baseball, WAR King still hit home runs and walked at a slower rate than Barry Bonds. This has been your daily reminder of the statistical absurdity that was Barry Bonds' career.

 

wow

Meh. Rate stats take a pretty hard hit when you include a 43 year old catcher and Julio Franco’s decaying corpse.

bonds would have put up a .950 ops at 46 if they let him

Reading this makes me want to tat “Miero” on my forehead and then when I’m with a friend someone can say as we walk past, “hey, there is a pal of Miero!”

[biittner77]

I always liked to call him Raffie "El Palmiero"

Some of the responces are vomit inducing.

this very thing led to an open revolt on my high school team, as the head coach preached extreme swing techniques designed to make a lot of contact on the ground. We hated him long before people really realized the power of power.

I refuse to believe this is a real person simply for the fact that they haven't been murdered in the parking lot by an overzealous parent for calling a 4-3 putout safe because it was productive.

Ha...that quote is at least a year old, iirc. I remember watching him say that when he was at MLB Network's studio explaining his swing.
