Isolated Power (SLG-AVG) is slugging percentage with singles taken out of the equation, leaving you with doubles, triples and home runs. Alex Rodriguez's last 2 years in Seattle... 1999: .301 2000: .291 Average .295 His 3 years in Texas: 2001 .304 2002 .324 2003 .301 Average .310 That's .015 difference, which can easily be chalked up to a difference in natural maturation and differences in park in any player. As for Palmeiro, cause...

Dear Chase, I feel like I can call you Chase because you and me are so much alike. I would love to meet you some day. It would be great to have a catch. I know I can't throw as fast as you, but I think you would be impressed with my speed. I love your hair. You run fast. Do you have a good relationship with your father? Me neither. These are all things we can talk about and more. I know you have not been getting my letters because I know...

I'll be honest that i haven't really followed Pujols career. Looking at his offensive numbers are amazing. But when you see people like Ortiz, Howard, Giambi and Fielder at first base. You know its the place where you put your slugger and your worst fielder. But on the plus side he'll play longer. I just think that giving the MVP award is more about being a complete player, and not just a slugger. Even though Arod did roids, he...

Hey, I have some oceanfront property for sale in Arizona.

For the love of Christ, don't sign with the BoSox or the Yankees!

By what standards do you have Derek Jeter at #2 in the AL? He didn't lead the league in any offensive categories and he had a grand total of 46 extra-base hits (Mauer had 59 in 15 fewer games). He's a singles hitter who scores a decent number of runs (107 is hardly overwhelming) because he has an incredible lineup batting behind him. He's not even close to the league leaders in offensive potency stats like OPS (on-base plus...

I guess I didn't remember the specific "in KC" game because I more vividly remembered Mauer potentially ruining Greinke's Cy Young (not that *I* think he should have lost it, but a higher ERA for the idiot voters may have ruined it even though he still deserved it). Anyways, good matchups between the two, with the latter one having more of an impact on the Twins' season considering it was a must-win game at...

Who the heck decided to give Jeremy Affeldt a 10th place vote?

not to mention his numbers are nearly the same every year. If he was on the juice in ~2002 he would still have to be on it to keep his stats the same. With him being tested at least weekly I see no way he's on steroids
