Just one little clarification, Fred. It's strictly his on field antics we're talking about. Machado's misbehaviors have all been on the field, other than the 'Johnny Hustle' bizarro interview.
-
Former ballplayers often make excellent color commentators - Tony Romo, Dennis Eckersley - and a lot of that has to do with their playing experience. But the majority of good sportswriters were not players. It's just different skill-sets.
-
I don't know it for sure - yet. But I'm comfortable predicting Harper gets at least $30 million more.
-
It also seems pretty simple to me that Machado has about the same baseball value on paper as Harper.
-
So you would agree that non-baseball reasons are a factor. Machado's image is pretty bad right now.
-
But the question is, why does Harper seem to be looking at a significantly bigger chunk of money than Machado?
-
Machado's on-field antics appear to have cost him some money, as well they should have.
-
It would seem more accurate to say that the more Leon plays the more tired his bat gets.
-
I don't think playing the Rays 18 times a year adds much to anyone's excitement level either.
-
No, and I knew this was coming. But oldtimer keeps listing the weight at 225.
-
It isn't very interesting. But it's more interesting than this.
-
Sure - just change from leagues to conferences.
-
How about splitting the difference - batting average and slugging average?
-
And Derek Jeter.
-
A .320 hitter is also averaging 32 hits per 100 at bats. Kimmi is right, you can use either term-whichever one pleases you.
-
From the aesthetic/entertainment standpoint, I HATE the Opener, if the Opener is only used for one inning and followed by a guy who pitches 3-5 innings. It has kind of a trashy, sneaky 'bait and switch' feel to it. I don't have a problem with true 'bullpen games' if they're every fifth game or less.
-
Good point.
-
Now stop saying this! (LOL) Leon's career batting average in MLB is .226. That's a stone cold fact.
-
I think real world examples are the best way to support a point.
-
Personally I'd be satisfied if they made it a 2 batter minimum.
-
Agreed.
-
Only 6 days to the first game vs. MLB competition.
-
Checkmate.
-
He's delivering 56.2 bases per 100 at bats.
-
I see what you're saying, but 400% can still be a real world percentage. (Sales were up by more than 200% over last year.)
