  1. that is a bold statement as he can barely create his own shot, dependent on an all-star distributor to get him the ball in the paint. but he's a fantastic finisher.
  2. if you wanted to know that badly you could just look at the first response.
  3. Huntington probably likes Byung due to his impressive WHIP, ERC, GB/FB, K/9, K/BB, BB%, VORP, Range Factor, PMR and Zone Rating.
  4. These plays were all in crucial situations of important games. Nyjer Morgan hasn't played a big game his entire pro career, which is why you're not seeing the attention given it to him as with Mays. I really don't see how Jeter could have stopped himself from going into the stands on that catch, with the momentum he had built up. If so, he's an jackass for intentionally running his face into a solid seat.
  5. how about using a Spoiler tag next time OMC? what a godawful ghastly sight.
  6. that's not as impressive as leading 5-0 in the middle of the 2nd and coming away from the game with a measly solitary point.
  7. you're lucky Brenly didn't catch you doing those experiments.
  8. http://www.turning-two.com
  9. I'll admit, I too have got a bad case of Willitis.
  10. the tigers wanted this guy so bad. ilitch was even offering him little caesars chains.
  11. Yeah. Jeter is baseball's David Copperfield, who performs illusions in front of 50,000 people to trick them into thinking he's a good fielder. Clint Barmes, wow.
  12. chris paul did?
  13. i have yet to see a single quote from hendry where the word "untouchable" is ever said, or even implied.
  14. both. i had already said that.
  15. why do you assume arod and pujols are dirty, but manny plays clean? It's probably because he likes Manny but doesn't like Arod and Pujols. It seems to be the modus de jour to accuse all great players that a person doesn't like as being a juicer whether there's any shread of credible proof or not. Pujols goes from a 13th round pick out of some obscure JuCo to the greatest hitter in the game, and Arod's involvement with Boras and talks of "extensive offseason workouts" before the best season of his career, and coincedentally, a new contract are what cause me to be leery. Manny has stayed at a consistent level of offensive greatness his entire career and I've seen little reason to expect it was steroid-aided.
  16. I don't think any free ones exist, but I might develop a web app this summer if I don't get overburdened with other projects.
  17. Holy God I just realized I omitted capitals too! These are all things which are of vital importance when discussing bas...ket..ball...
  18. that's a bizarre statement, given that I do not write sentences for a living and nobody including myself ever claims I am good at doing so. relevance?
  19. I wouldn't be too nervous about it. His K rate will also come down a reasonable amount to lessen the sting of his BABIP regression. i wouldn't expect less than a .280 avg from him this year. a bigger concern is that he loses value after this year after being stripped of 2B eligibility. but by then he'll likely be a 25/40 player, which plays well at any position.
  20. the question was for clean hitters. i have little doubt in my mind Pujols and Arod are dirty. Teddy Ballgame is the best argument against Manny, but I just don't buy the competition being comparable.
  21. that guy's an unabashed Cubs fan, it's no wonder he loves Geo.
  22. I don't know, maybe Meph can help us out here. He seems keen on EqA as the best way to measure a hitter, and Ramirez is at .317 for his career, Arod at .312 and Pujols at .338. Meph is there anyone out there that you know of that has more value than Pujols at the plate over the past 10 years or so? you'd sure be a blast to watch a ballgame with. i can imagine the fun discussions. "I don't have any of my own opinions or original thoughts, I'll have to ask somebody else and wait to hear their judgement in which I will put full faith." Manny Ramirez is the right answer though, and you can probably change "this generation" to "all-time".
  23. Oswalt's strikeout numbers keep dropping lower and lower every season and he's playing on a really bad team. I go with Hamels every day of the week.
