2016 MLB Draft Thread.
Slasher9 replied to Hugh2's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
hopefully there are a couple aces in that mix!!! -
i think he would have made an awesome linebacker or even tight end. but his career would have probably been over by the time he was 29.

2016 MLB Draft Thread.
Slasher9 replied to Hugh2's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
as with every year...i look forward to your post draft analysis Hugh. you are without a doubt the minor league "expert" in my world..... -
i really dont think you can make it to any professional level without being "good at what they do". football minor leagues = 3 years of mandatory college ball. NHL - has minor league system. NBA - 12 man teams. these are the best of the best whether you are 19 (only 1 year of mandatory college) or 22 (graduating red shirted player)..... MLB - many teenagers signed. they spend their "college" years in the minors. as with the other 3 sports only the best of the best will reach the top level (majors). MLB is the only of the 4 major sports where you can have a 30 year old rookie who finally "makes it".

i look at it this way. David Ortiz is a beast. he is IMO the greatest Red Sox player of all time. all time. he is having one of his greatest seasons ever in his final year. i love it. im not sure i even want him to come back next year. this is shaping up to be the perfect ending for a perfect career. but in no way, shape, or form could the current David Ortiz play any of the other 3 sports. Baseball? he is an All Star this season. even with only being able to jog to first and have chronic foot/heel pain.

injury % rate (reported injuries): NFL - 4.85 Basketball - 1.85 baseball - 1.31 hockey - 0.57 my guess is that most of those hockey dudes dont report their injuries.....

i understand what you are saying and i agree with you. absolutely the long season causes wear and tear. no doubt that many, many MLB players are very much "athletic". my point in defending Moons original point was that of the 4 major sports...you can last in MLB in less than stellar physical shape. the other 3 sports will not "allow" that. NBA: average player is 6' 7'' tall, weights 218 lbs and is 26.9 years old. NFL: average age 26 NHL: 26 MLB: 29 The average playing career for an NFL players is 3.5 years, the average MLB career is 5.6 years, the average NBA career is 4.8 years, and the average NHL career is 5.5 years.

maybe that tracker is being done on a NYY fan website. it certainly helped JE that JBj missed a handful of games on Paternity.....

NHL NFL NBA MLB which one of those sports can a man in the shape (and that shape is a circle) of Bartolo Colon play at a high level in?
-
list your 4 in order then. you got baseball first? NHL last?
-
Pitching = parades. Pitching errytime.
-
The only professional sport someone like David Ortiz at this age and at this stage of his physical life could play is baseball. And I don't think he could even do it in the national league.....
-
Wow. A lot of "experts" in here. NHL is by far the most physically demanding of the 4. Nfl is second only slightly ahead of the nba. And that is only because it's a collision sport. But I bet nba players are pretty close to the NHL guys in fitness. The MLB guys are far behind in 4th place. Now if we are talking about the toughest thing to do in the 4 major sports it would be a toss up between hitting a baseball and scoring a goal in hockey. Both are fail percentage tasks. Btw if we added that other sport called soccer they would bump MLB down to 5th......
-
to play any sport, hobby, game at a professional level is both physically and mentally taxing. to think baseball isnt the least "physical" sport of the major 4 is plain wrong.
-
i never denied that so why do i need to state it? you think an MLB player is more physically demanding than NBA player you havent a clue.
-
no one said based on injuries. nba has a 12 man roster. to think the average nba player isnt more physically fit than the average MLB player is naive.
-
Moon had his mea cuplpa on the statement and said that he meant the 4 major sports. so answer the question - rank the 4 major sports in order of most physically demanding to least physically demanding....

Where was the amica pitch zone? This is the first nesn game in the past 5 seasons without it. MLB/umpires quietly asking teams to no longer use it??? ROBOT UMPS NOW

this feels like the start of a streak.

i would like to see clay given another shot in the rotation the next time 5 SP's are needed. (in a couple weeks i believe).....
