What about Manny, David Ortiz, and Pedro Martinez?Originally posted by GiambiJuice View PostStrikeouts are boring! Besides that, they're fascist. Throw some ground balls - it's more democratic.-Crash DavisComment

The Padres used up all his prime.Using a stolen chant from Boston Celtics fans whenever an L.A. team is playing up there just reeks of inferiority complex.

Well Manny was most certainly lazy. Ortiz was/is most certainly fat and not even athletic enough to field a position. They were both juice heads so I guess they couldn't be totally lazy though. You got me with Pedro.Originally posted by Honus Wagner Rules View PostMy top 10 players:

He's an underachiever... He's regressed since peaking in 2007. Another product of fat contracts and no incentive to play hard...Originally posted by RaysFan_98 View PostWAR? Prove it!

He had a big loss of power since the 2011 ASG. till the break he showed good power hitting 17 HRs and slg .591. after the break he hit only 10 and slg under .500. something happened there and it seems like it got worse.I now have my own non commercial blog about training for batspeed and power using my training experience in baseball and track and field.Comment

The fact that he may not know where he is playing from day to day may play some mental part...yes I realize there are numerous players playing numerous positions, but Gonzalez does not normally play outfield, and he is a very good defensive first baseman...plus, lots of turmoil with the team this year and some spilled from end of last year that is probably distracting as well...I will call it the Bobby Valentine EffectComment

Wonder if the Home Run Derby had anything to do with that.Originally posted by dominik View PostComment

Why not? It sure kicked the crap out of Joey Bats' second half stats.Originally posted by RDB_SoxFan View Post"I can see how he won twenty-five games. What I don't understand is how he lost five." - Yogi Berra on Sandy Koufax's 1963 season.Comment

I don't know Maybe he just can't handle playing in the big market since he spent so much time with us.Originally posted by Zito75 View PostAll it takes for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing. -Unknown

Pedro wasn't a veteran when he went there
he was still rather youngComment

Adrian ran into John Henry at that ASG and didn't like it when he said, "You've been very well behaved lately, Manny."Originally posted by dominik View Post"If I drink whiskey, I'll never get worms!" - Hack WilsonComment
