Browsed through the teams. Three of them have more speed than me, one about the same, and three less. If I can go .500 on that stat for the year I'll be pretty happy as I think I'm above average in some other categories.
Anyone ever been to a brawl game? The only one I've ever seen in person was when the Yankees and Rays went at it in Spring Training several years ago. Eliot Johnson is crazy.
Hey everyone. I'm in a media class this semester, and one of my assignments is to keep a running blog going on a topic of my choice. Well, that wasn't too hard.
I just posted my spring training power rankings, you can check them out here: http://fenwayandfilm.tumblr.com/
Please feel free to...
Best:
Nomar Garciaparra and Matt Murton for Doug Mientkiewicz and Orlando Cabrera
Michael Gross, Casey Fossum, Brandon Lyon, and Jorge De La Rosa for Curt Schilling
Heathcliff Slocumb for Jason Varitek and Derek Lowe
Manny Ramirez, Craig Hansen, and Brandon Moss for Jason Bay
Worst:
Bronson...
I kind of like it. If he's really good in the next few years while the A's are in the basement, he would be great trade bait. If it takes him 2-3 years to develop, they might be contenders by then.
I collected Nomar when I first started collecting in the early 2000s (was about 9) and probably got up to about 50-60 different. Nothing valuable, but still fun. I love looking at the cards in this thread, really brings me back. Nomah!!
The Brewers said months ago they weren't bringing him back and were never mentioned among the teams in contention, so I really can't see how this is a shock for you.
If Austin Jackson can stop striking out (a big if) he's gonna score a crazy amount of runs.
I really hope they hit 3-4 though, for me there was just no way to justify VMart and Miggy losing ABs last season hitting 4-5.
When was the last time a tandem got 1000 at bats of 1.000 OPS? Ortiz and...
I'm not trying to disrespect the low namers, I was just interested in some of the better BIG contracts in the game as it seems there are far fewer than bad big contracts.
Everyone is always talking about the worst big contracts, but what are some of the best? To make sure this list doesn't go on forever, let's make it only players who have $20M+ remaining on their contract, and no new contracts (except Sabathia I suppose).
Miguel Cabrera - 4 yrs $86M
Jose...
