Montes 474 absolute bomb. What a shot.

I watched hundreds of BPs at Safeco in the steroid era and never saw one clear the seats in center.

As for the slowness of the games, how could anybody be bored sitting through a long sunny day, watching a doubleheader with the 1961 hated New York Yankees, joking around with your buddies? We were never in a rush to get home, and afterwards, we waited until our Favorite guys came out of the locker...

Does anyone remember where Captain's post that compared Jerry to other GMs that have been at it 10+ seasons? Here is a list of every current MLB exectuive with at least 15 years as a GM/President of Baseball Operations. Brian Cashman (29 years — 6 World Series) Playoff Appearances: 22 Walt Jocketty...

Obviously they are going to have to play better than that if they want to make any noise in the Big Ten. The good news is that it seems like their struggles were mostly things that they should be able to clean up rather than talent level issues. The biggest of those was the 12 Penalties for 130 Yard...

Answered my own question. I was thinking they were both primarily DH but Edgar played 64 games at 3B in 94 and Phelps played 55 Games at first base in 86 so its pretty much just positional adjustment. Phelps had a -1.8 dWAR and Edgar was at +.6.

I realize he never played a full season but how does a guy with a 145 OPS+ only amass 9.6 WAR in 6 seasons with the M's.
Look at his 1986 season compared to Edgars 94 season. What is the number in the formula that is keeping his WAR so low?

Ran across this nugget and decided to stash it in this thread..... These are the top 10 in franchise history in OPS+ Name the missing player. 1. Nelson Cruz 148 2. Edgar Martinez 147 3. ????????? 145 4. Ken Griffey Jr. 144 5. Alex Rodriguez 138 6. Robinson Cano 129 7. Alvin Davis 128 8 Randy Arozare...

If you wanted to try and stash him on the practice squad, I really don't think there is much chance of anyone putting him on their active roster and if they did no big loss as far as I am concerned.

How does Brian Woo manage a 1.08 Whip and a 4.10 ERA. Seems like those stats should correlate a little better. He is 12th in baseball in WHIP and 43rd in ERA. Nick Martinez is right behind him with a 1.10 Whip and has a 2.93 ERA. You have to go all the way down to Noah Cameron who is 32nd in WHIP be...
