    a false start right off the bat is a good way to start

    no they wouldn't. they'd still suck. i hate them I hear tell they're not real fond of you, either !! :wink: they have to be the football equivalent of the cubs. they usually suck, but when they have a decent/good team, their games are usually very frustrating instead of fun.

    Isn't Kevin Youkilis "Greek?" I remember somehwere where his nickname is "The Greek God of Walks." Maybe I heard wrong, but I doubt it. From his wikipedia page: Despite the "Greek God of Walks" nickname, Youkilis is not Greek. He is actually a Romanian Jew.

    well, he won the MVP because of HR and RBI. i don't think he had the best season in the NL that year, but MVP voters love RBI. for instance, he was only 10th in the NL in OPS that year. Oh okay, so you are discrediting that year's MVP award. Between your argument, VORP, and the irrelevant notion that Wade Boggs had a better year, there is a dearth of logic on these boards. huh?

    this is very similar to the jim rice argument. everyone who saw him play or was a fan of him insists that he was the one of the most feared hitters of his era and was one of the top players for a 10 year stretch. but when you look at his stats, yeah he was good, but people tended to exaggerate his dominance. same with dawson. when i was a kid, i thought he was awesome and he was one of my favorite players. if you asked me as a kid who the best hitter was, i probably would have put dawson at the top of the list. (i also probably would have insisted that shawon dunston is one of the best shortstops in the league, so there you go.) now looking at his stats, he was a very good player, but it looks like people exaggerate his dominance.

    A-freaking-MEN Hell, look at Wade Boggs even. Dawson destroys him in every category except .BA and hits. But I guess since Boggs got to the "magical 3000" (3010 hits) and played for the Red Sox, he gets in. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying Boggs wasn't an outstanding player. But anyway suggesting that Dawson wasn't a dominant player of his era is fooling themselves. boggs destroys dawson in obp, walks, struck out way less than him, and has a higher career ops+. i'd personally prefer boggs on my team over dawson. fun fact. you know who has a higher career ops+ than andre dawson? chili davis. would you vote for him in the hall of fame?

    add john olerud, keith hernandez, and will clark to that list too. all first-baseman with excellent hitting skills, very good patience, but mediocre power, and shoe-ins for the HOF if they played middle infield.
  20. rocket
