April 14, 201610 yr The only time he ever really hits is when he's fat throughout his career. Anytime the Giants asked to lose weight, he'd come in to camp slimmed down and not hit and then get progressively fatter as the season went by. If he's released and only cost close to half a million, I'd take him

April 14, 201610 yr Author QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Apr 13, 2016 -> 11:11 PM) Soooooo, the Red Sox might release Pablo Sandoval if they can't find a trade partner Wow, that is mind blowing. I mean everyone knew the contract was going to be bad, but washing out basically a year? Damn.

April 15, 201610 yr QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Apr 14, 2016 -> 03:16 PM) Velasquez with a complete game shutout against the Padres. 16 Ks. Just finished watching the highlights. Man, was he filthy today. The Phillies have really nice young arms in their rotation.

April 15, 201610 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 14, 2016 -> 08:42 PM) Astros fans HATE the two big trades they've made over the last 8 months (Gomez and Giles) I don't blame them one bit and would hate those trades as well if I were an Astros fan. I'm not sure which trade the Astros got hosed on more. The Astros gave up two really good hitting prospects in the Gomez trade but gave up some really nice young pitching in the Giles trade. Tough call.

April 19, 201610 yr Every time the discussion of allowing steroid users into the HOF comes up, people argue that there's already known cheaters (Gaylord Perry) and bad guys (Ty Cobb) in the Hall. I heard an interesting interview on the Score (Rozner & Ostrowski - I think) with the author of a book that refutes almost everything we think we know about Ty Cobb.

April 19, 201610 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 18, 2016 -> 01:45 PM) Interesting interview with Rafael Palmiero http://www.foxsports.com/mlb/story/rafael-...moves-on-041816 Good stuff. I've always wondered why he isn't brought up as much as the rest of the steroid guys. Based on his pure numbers, he'd have to be a first ballot guy. Pretty well rounded career. Looking at the photos - man, I loved Will Clark.
April 19, 201610 yr I just realized that if Adrian Beltre continues to hit like he has the past few years for 2 more years, he's gonna get to 3000 hits and about 80 WAR. Those are hall of fame caliber numbers.
