    Clark's real sin is just looking like my dentist cosplaying as a Red Sox player in every picture I find.
  2. mvp 78
    I figured out why he stunk with the Red Sox. He started holding the bat the wrong way while with the Sox. What an idiot!
  3. mvp 78
    In 91, he had a 947 OPS (146 wRC+) when they pushed him down to 6/7th for about two weeks. He had a very bad May, but was fine otherwise. In 92, he never really got going, but was seen as a lower order bat with Burks the Opening Day cleanup hitter and Brunansky leading the team with 95 starts at cleanup.

    Great food, beautiful women, but the city smells worse than any other city I've ever been to in my life, especially when it's warm out. The only other place I can remember its distinctive smell is when I stopped at the Great Salt Lake (combination of red tide in the Atlantic and a cow patties). 🤢

    And if you doubt the 1987 Fleer scouting report for Red Sox DH's, here's Andre Dawson's which looks very similar to Clarks:

    It is now, but wasn't back then. I don't think we could use problematic 1991 terms on here.

    You may have heard it. I just don't believe the Sox brought him in to be an RBI guy. I think they saw him as a professional RHB that would hit with power. From the back of his '87 Fleer card:

    I'm just saying, you're original point was that he was ostensibly brought in back in the early 90's as an RBI guy. However, he never was a top RBI guy at that point. Nobody was talking about per 162 or really even looking at his walk rate. Lou probably saw his 25 HRs and liked the RHB for the Monster. Sox had moved on from Evans at DH and needed a replacement. After Clark's two years, they went and signed an aging Andre Dawson. At that point, the Sox just wanted RHBs for DH. Baylor to Rice to Evans to Clark to Dawson Lou just liked older RHB for DH it seems. When they signed a 30 year old Jose Canseco, it was while Duquette was GM.

    Did he move him lower in the order because he was hitting better at cleanup than before? Why else would he move him lower?
  11. mvp 78
    Per 162 is meaningless. He played over 150 games 3 times in a 18 year career.
  12. mvp 78
    He had 62 RBI the year before. He only had 100+ RBI twice in his career. In the 1980's, he had almost 250 less RBI than Eddie Murray and 150 less than Dewey. His real skill was getting on base (389 OBP matched Tony Gwynn) and poking 25 HR's out every year. I don't think he even had one year where he was a top 10 RBI guy.
  13. mvp 78
    Clark -6.02 Clutch for his career per FanGraphs Also, he was a mid-30's guy by the time he got here. His first season was good. His second season was at least better than Masa is hitting this season.

    The last game he held a .400 batting average was game 8. That was 9 days into the season. Here's his batting order position to start the season: 6-6-7-5-6-7-7-7-7-6-6-7-6-7-6-7-7-9-7-6-5-6-6-7-6-7-7-6-6 When he was put into cleanup IN MAY, he hit 120 (335 OPS) from 5/4-5/28. That's why he was dropped in the order. He hit better when he was lower in the lineup, so Cora tried him lower in the order. After he was dropped in the order he hit 216 (647 OPS) from 5/30-6/18 which was an improvement. Cora made the right call apparently.
