You'll hear no argument here. I think they should've let him go, pocketed the draft pick they would've gotten for him, and pinned their hopes on Quentin coming around. Not like they're right around the corner from a WS anyway.

I wouldn't say absolutely nothing, but the Zito signing this year made me realize there are some pretty significant outliers.

Major flukage this year. Ridiculously high pop-up rate, line drive rate is study, GB rate is down a little, still has average HR per flyball ratio (10%). Gets a lot of balls in the air, and they have eyes this year. Don't overpay for him next year.

Spartans Rule fighting the good fight in here. Using the logic that some of the other less educated baseball fans in here are using, that Bonds is not one of the greatest ever because his team never won anything, these arguments would not be taking place if Tim Worrell hadn't had a bad 8th...

:thumbup:Have another drink, Tommyboy. :thumbup:

You wanna meet there and throw hands, tough guy?

The idea that the best players are those who happen to be on good teams. Baseball players are as good as their individual performances, they cannot really control anything else. Barry Bonds cannot make Ryan Klesko a better hitter, and your notion (which you still haven't explained) that Barry...

1 down, 756 more to go. :football:

You have no idea what you're talking about.

I'm looking forward to the Mike Bacsik interview myself.

I cannot say that definitively. But I think the argument is between Bonds and Ruth only for greatest ever. Top 2.

Wrong.Look, it's pretty obvious you're not a big baseball guy, and you're arguing baseball with a bunch of baseball nerds here. You're way behind.

There's more to being a good hitter than just hitting HRs, see: Sammy Sosa, or Dave Kingman, or Rob Deer. Not striking out is a good skill to have, taking walks is a good skill to have, hitting line drives is a good skill to have, being fast is a good skill to have, and being able to hit the...

A-rod's got a great shot at it. :banned:

This is true as well, there are dozens of factors to be considered.My favorite fact from the Bonds v. Aaron piece is something to the effect that the world record times in men's swimming in the 1920's are now easily beaten by strong female swimmers in high school regional meets.
