nice to finally see a 2b of utley's caliber in the AL.  Robinson Cano says "hi"... http://espn.go.com/mlb/stats/batting/_/position/2b    Cano is not of Utley's caliber and neither is Zobrist. Zobrist was better at the plate, but only played 90 games at 2B. Cano isnt better at the plate of defensively.     Yup. If you ignore the stats, and anything resembling common sense, Cano is nowhere near as good as Utley. You got...

I loathe Keith Olberman.  So much that I won't watch the NBC highlites on Sun night.  I go right to NFL Network just to avoid him, before going back to the Sunday night game. BUT I DON'T START CONTINUOUS THREADS ABOUT HOW MUCH I HATE PMSNBC!!!!! why?. because it's a freakin' baseball board.  DORK   get a life If you could find a link which shows MSNBC spreading lies to promote Obama you'd be the first to put...

I have a feeling that there are at least 5 huge sellers in MLB right now

This is when I should listen to my gut. When Twilight first came out I was forced to go see it. The commercials made me think that it wasn't going to be too bad. Mid way through the movie, a VAMPIRE steps into the sunlight, the dude looks like a Bratz doll or one of those myspace layouts with glitter and that was enough for me. Fast forward to last night. Again I believe the hype, again im forced to go watch the thing... And the GLAMPIRE...

All good things come to an end and my posting here is no exception. A few weeks ago I stated I would leave these boards forever if Josh Beckett didn't finish in the top 5 in AL CY voting and I'm a man of my word.  Beckett had a great season and was absolutely deserving but the powers that be decided otherwise.  Rather than start another thread asking what they were thinking, I'll simply say good bye. It's been fun. I...

all born in Nebraska  ah,  too easy      My wife was born in the same hospital as Richie Ashburn, in Tilden Nebraska. BTW   GO   HUSKERS    A win tomorrow gets then the big 12 North title. Nebraska has also produced the big 3 of the entertainment industry  Marlon Brando, Henry Fonda, and Larry the Cable Guy.    

 

The Yankees "traded" Soriano for then two time reigning AL MVP ARod after Sorryano booted two ground ball double plays IN THE SAME INNING, struck out 17 of 19 at bats in the playoffs, and was relegated to ninth in the order, with the Rangers helping the Yankee cover half of ARod's salary. The Yankees also "traded" 7.00 ERA Jeff Weaver for Kevin Brown, at that time 3rd in ERA and 3rd in Cy Young voting behind Jason...

Guess we will be seeing RSN more and oh look he has a political thread posted already today. I am so shocked!

Utley and Cano have each had 5 seasons where they played over 100 games. In those 5 seasons, Cano has never had an OPS over .890 (2006), and Utley has never had an OPS under .905 (2009). Cano has also never had an OBP over .365, while Utley has never had a full season with an OBP under .376. This is what I mean when I say Cano is not on Utley's level.
