[suns]

Contribution of the year.

[26 to 6]

EMart barely showed up in this decade. He's a player of the 90's.

Fair point.

 

What made you decide to consider Thome as a DH. I had a hard time debating with myself whether I should consider him a first baseman or a DH for the decade.

 

What? Grady and cliff has great performaces.

WOW

 

I will just stick to my opinion.

Good for you! and I hope somebody takes you serious

[Dipre]

You couldn't afford Yankee tickets.

Dude, is someone actually saying Cliff Lee was better than Johan Santana? He dominated the league for years, and at one point, had a 40-4 post-ASG record. That's extremely impressive. Not to mention, the only guy I've ever seen more dominant than prime Santana was Liriano's partial year.
