Will Cal be #1?

[Donn Beach]

Seems like A-Rod is being left out here for no reason.
So Alex, I didn't even know this, played 17 gms in '94 at 18 yo. That year should be tossed. 17 games is a small sample
Then in '95 he plays 48 at age 19, hits 5 bombs in limited PAs (149). Are we going to count that as a season?

then in '96 at 20: 36
97: 23
98: 42
99: 42

5 yr total from age 19-23: 148

His 1996 season, given his age was one of the best seasons of all time.

Yes if they didn't idiotically start his clock at age 18 for no reason he is on the 2001 team and we likely win the WS. Cursed franchise.

It was basically a publicly stunt, that's why he wasn't on the 2001 roster. Could you imagine that, when you rank all the dumb things this franchise has pulled off that should be right at the top of the list

We have a definitive answer. Cal will not be #1. Comical oversight by Pharmabro. lol

I remember watching Alex at the plate in '96 and just being sort of amazed at how confident he looked up there. There was no "young player" aspect to him at all. He knew exactly what he was doing.

Come on, don't you think there'a chance Cal gets 56 blasts this year?

Was 19 games enough th start his clock?

1994 and 1995 combined counted as one year because he was only here for 5 more seasons. They didn't need him in 1995 either.

If he had stuck around though they might not have gone after Brett Boone. Given a choice, i'd take Brett over Mr. Phony. However, if they did sign him anyway and put ARod at SS they might have won 120 games and a WS.

What??? He would have played SS and Guillen would have stayed at 3B. Boone was our 2B.

[Sibelius Hindemith]

Guillen was the SS. Bell was 3B.

Guillen was the SS. Bell was 3B.

Guillen would have been UT then.
