    And the Yankems got 600 of those runs before August.
  2. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    I admit to nothing.
  3. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    I think I know where you pulled those percentages from.

    Baseball is an individual sport that just happens to be played on a team. Nowhere to hide in baseball.

    If one shakes a baseball tree, 9 gloves and 1 bat will fall to the ground.

    Was watching longest HR's today on youtube. Both Ortiz and Manny hit one HR at Fenway that traveled over 500 feet. The longest accurately measured was hit by Dave Kingman 520 feet. I'm pretty sure the wind may have been blowing toward LF that day at Wrigley.

    Dick Stuart was the ultimate one tool player.
  8. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    After baseball he became a plumber.
  9. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Yup, good pick.

    The Rangers offense is respectable. Their starting pitching has been decimated by injuries. And there's more than a few worse teams than the SOX in MLB this season.
  11. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Hindsight is golden, MOON, or is it green?
  12. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    The SOX have clobbered Keuchel more than pretty much any other pitcher this season. He really is done as a pitcher.
  13. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    At this point I would classify Devers as a 3.5 tool player. Could easily become a full 4 tool player.
  14. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Devers' delivery service appears to be back in business.
  15. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    JBJ had the gift of getting excellent jumps on fly balls. I wouldn't describe him having exceptional speed.
  16. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    The ultimate 5 tool players were Mays and Mantle(before he damaged his leg.) Also Barry Bonds before he 'bulked up.'
  17. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    The 5th tool "speed' is unclear. I'm not sure it just weighs that heavily on stolen bases.
  18. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Seeing that he's 28, do you think he might take 400mil for 10 years?
  19. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    He doesn't play defense. I'm referring to the traditional 5 tool requirements. 1)hits 2)hits with power 3)excellent defense 4)strong arm and 5)speed.
  20. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    The only proven MLB 5 tool players I'm aware of that are playing today are Trout and Betts. Can anyone think of any others?
  21. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    It depends how one defines 'didn't work out.' How do you feel about JD's 5 year contract? I feel it worked out. Some might look at 2020 and this year and feel it didn't work out.
  22. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Devers' defense has improved immensely. And he is 'valuable' at hitting. Very valuable.
  23. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Some here believe that the SOX should have done the same with Devers. It's definitely a big risk for ownership.
  24. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    F'ing chUMPS. Always looking for confrontation.
  25. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    In Keuchel's 7 years in Houston he had one great year(20-8) and two very good years.
