Interesting blurb in Mariotti's column today

Sun-Times article

 

I won't bore you with his "rant" against the Cubs for not getting Beltran, but this little quote I found rather humorous:

 

Hendry might counter by signing Magglio Ordonez, but even when healthy, he is no Beltran

 

So let me get this straight. When the Sox parted ways with Magglio, Mariotti basically skewered the Sox, saying they were giving up a franchise player and one of the most coveted players in baseball, but when it's the Cubs, he's second rate to Beltran, even when healthy?

 

Gotta love it. Somebody please give this nitwit a nickel so he can buy himself a clue. :headshake

Yeah he's stupid. I do think Beltran is better, but what he says is a bunch of nonsense.

if Maggz were healthy he would be the more sure thing... More Power, better hitter... but Beltran has a lot better upside and a monster on the base paths

Another example of why mariotti garners so much respect around here.

OK, Jay, when fully healthy, Maggs is second rate to Beltran...that is a fair comment to make, especially considering the source...talk like you are God and use no stats or facts of any type whatsoever to prove your point.

 

Here is my point Jay...you're wrong.

 

Maggs...

 

2001 - .305 31 113 .914

2002 - .320 38 135 .978

2003 - .317 29 99 .926

 

Beltran...

2001 - .306 24 101 .876

2002 - .273 29 105 .847

2003 - .307 26 100 .911

 

and for s***s and giggles...let's put Beltran's 04 season up there too, since it was his best yet

 

2004 - .267 38 104 .915

 

Now Jay...just curious here...how many seasons did Maggs have while fully healthy that were better then Beltran's?

 

 

Step down b****

Just if he was reading this he would realize how pwned he just got.

 

Edit: Wow, i used he three times in one sentence. :headshake

Can you imagine Kotex Boy writing for a team like the Tampa Bay Devil Rays or Pitssburgh Pirates. ;) :lol:
