Or maybe not........

Maybe ...... or maybe not.

I never stated that you or anyone claimed nunez was a better defender. The debate was who is the better player, sheesh.......

Well when debating who the better player is fielding is part of the equation.........

Regardless, it hardly quantifies as "keep going on"...........

Keep going on?? I mentioned it once..........

It certainly has helped his batting playing there. But I don't think there's any denying he is a better fielder than nunez. I also read an article that gave the opinion that playing in coors field can sometimes hurt a batter because of the way they gear their swing. The article said this had an adverse effect on their away batting and that maybe not playing there full time would yield different results. Not sure I buy it, but if I can find the article I will post the link. And stating that nunez's defense is better than devers really isn't saying all that much.

Well, let's see. Player A has 1 All Star appearance, had a -1.1 WAR last season and has contributed a grand total of 3.1 WAR in 9 seasons. Player B has 3 All Star appearances, a batting title, 3 Gold Gloves, had a 3.0 WAR last season and has contributed 17.6 WAR in 8 seasons.

I must have missed the part where anyone said it would be "easy".........

They are trolling you dude. The simple reason why there isn't a ton of examples of SS's coming back from TJS is the simple fact that it doesn't happen often because SS's don't put the same strain on their arm as a pitcher does. And it stands to reason if they don't put the same strain as a pitcher does that their recovery time is typically shorter, which it is. slav knows this, he's just trolling you.

He used to be a lot better poster who has gradually slid more into the homer/troll persona over time.

So you think a SS puts more wear and tear on his arm than a pitcher does?

Aside from jacko, who are these other "Yankee fans"?

Nah, I never use the ignore feature, the stupidity posted around here is quite amusing.

Sometimes it's tough to separate all the verbal diarrhea that spews from your mouth on a daily basis........

Red Sox: Bobby Dalbec, 3B The power-hitting third baseman is in big league camp for the first time, taking aim at the replica Green Monster at JetBlue Park. Dalbec has the best raw power in Boston's farm system, and his batting practice sessions are a must-see event for fans roaming the back fields. But Dalbec isn't just about offense; he was a much-improved defender at the hot corner last season, displaying a quick first step and a strong arm. Look for Dalbec to start 2019 at Double-A and likely finish it at Triple-A. A September callup isn't out of the question. -- Ian Browne

I'll file it right next to your "pedroia will be the MVP this year".........

Will Kimbrel hold out until the summer? March 11, 2019 Closer Craig Kimbrel has compiled an impressive resume during his nine seasons in the big leagues, recording a microscopic 1.91 ERA with a 0.92 WHIP, 333 saves and a 14.7 K/9 rate, and he is one of the biggest names remaining on the free-agent market. Below you will find a list of the latest news and rumors surrounding the right-hander. Could Kimbrel sit out until June? March 11: With Opening Day just 17 days away for most Major League clubs, time is of the essence for Kimbrel. Or is it? In a column for The Athletic published Monday, MLB Network insider Ken Rosenthal wonders if Kimbrel and his agent, David Meter, would consider holding out until after the MLB Draft in early June. The point of a holdout would be for Kimbrel to shed the Draft pick compensation attached to him by way of rejecting the Red Sox's one-year, $17.9 million qualifying offer last November. If Kimbrel re-entered the Hot Stove discussion in mid-June, contenders might be more interested in simply paying an expensive one-year prorated salary to the All-Star closer (in perhaps the neighborhood of $20 million) instead of dealing away top prospects to acquire a different reliever at the July 31 non-waiver Trade Deadline. Kimbrel could then re-enter free agency next offseason without Draft compensation concerns, and he would figure to be a top dog again in the reliever market. Of course, Kimbrel would still likely prefer to sign a contract before Opening Day, but there has been little public movement from three of his biggest potential suitors in the National League East. The Nationals seem unwilling to surpass the competitive balance tax threshold to sign Kimbrel, Rosenthal notes, while the Braves are more interested in a shorter contract and the Phillies might be hesitant to splurge any further after an expensive offseason. The Red Sox also appear to have moved on from their former closer. Last year, fellow closer Greg Holland wound up signing a $14 million contract right on Opening Day that was ultimately less than the qualifying offer he rejected from the Rockies. Kimbrel is surely looking to avoid the same fate.

Yankees could break home run record WWW.MLB.COM Is it fair to say a healthy Yankees lineup is capable of putting up 300-plus home runs this season? -- Brett W., via Facebook Wow. That is a staggering number, and it is not out of the realm of possibility. The Yankees set the Major League record with 267 homers

I wasn't trying to insinuate that it was the best parallel, simply pointing out an instance where a player did take less money.

They certainly do. Are you saying it's the same recovery for a SS as it is for a pitcher?

Same could be said for you..........

Possibly

I said MAY be a problem.

Well she states over and over how she would love to keep the player but not wanting to pay him what it will take. Seems silly to me.
