Wily Mo revisited

you do realize power hitters tend to strikeout.

Rob Deer, Dave Kingman and many other power hitters struck out a lot and every team they played for was better offwithout them.

And none of them have the raw power that Pena has.

Didn't Kingman hit the longest tape measure homer on record? He used to hit balls 420 over CF wall in Shea one-handed and leaning over the plate off-balance. Did you see him play? I did. He could hit the ball as far as anyone I have ever seen.

Who cares about Pena, he's a watered down version of Reggie Jackson.

He's also only 24 years old.

If you're comment is sincere...and not just a Yankee fan busting on Sox fans...then you may have a point.

 

I've stated it before...i hope WMP turns into a .325/35/120 type of guy...but at this point I see a big strong guy with an undisciplined approach who is gonna K too much between the monster shots he hits.

 

Hope I'm wrong. I really, really do. And if and when I am proven wrong you all can bash me and I'll say "you were right....he did improve and neutralize the ass-fu*king the Sox too as a result of the Arroyo trade...it just took a year...or two...or three..or..."
