Question:
Answers:
Should I try- out for select softball?!?!?!?
Barry Zito hands down and here are his stats over the past four years to prove it. Mediocre at best.2003 * 14 - 12
2004 * 11 - 11
2005 * 14 - 13
2006 * 16 - 10
With an era around 4.00.
Where at the yankees stadium is it best to sit with my 9 yr old son and be safe?
Mark Prior he has yet to complete a season with out being injuredAlfonso Soriano
Any player from New York. The media just wont shut up about them.
Will cableone have the baseball package?
A-Rod.Arod.
it's not arod. i'm sorry. he hasn't had the greatest playoff success but that happens. cal ripken was never that good in playoff games either. arod has a long career ahead of him. he has a lot of records to break and a lot of championships to win. hopefully just not with the yanks.
as for who the real overrated player is......a lot of guys are.
the biggest disappointments..1. kerry wood. fastest pitcher to get 1000 ks and that's with missing a season for surgury. he hasn't done anything since.
2. mark prior. what happened to this guy? he just ran out of steam.
Dodgers placed Jason Schmidt on the DL and...?
David Ortiz . All DH's are over rated and should never -ever be considered for any post season awards.Anyone ever come across a program where you can design your own baseball stadium?
Thats David Ortiz. He doesn't play the Field he averages an error every 5 games at firstbase that would be about 32 errors a seasons probably more casue he would get more chances, he can't hit without Manny to protect him. and anyone that thinks 22 hr 78 RBI average per season is good better look at other playersWho has the record in total home-runs hit in MLB?
Carl PavanoWhat triple crown winner had less than 10 hr's and less than 100 rbi's ?
To debunk the previous answers I just saw, Prior isn't overrated because he isn't exactly rated and Soriano is an offensive force. There aren't exactly a lot of 40-40 guys left in the game. Everybody knows his shortcomings, he can't field and he strikes out too much.I would suggest Barry Zito. This offseason they guy is talked about like the second coming of christ who now throws an amazing curve. If you look at it he's pretty good, but if you take out 2001 and 2002 he's a .500 pitcher and with an ERA close to 4. He's respectable, but he kind of looks more like a #2 starter than a $18 mil. man.
A-Rod, really? You guys are nuts. He is one of the most, posibly the most prolific hitter to ever play the game. Yeah, A-Rod is sooooo overrated that in perhaps his worst season in his career he hit .280 with 35 home runs and 120 rbis, oh yeah and when his career is over he'll probably be the home run king. Man, that guy is all hype.
I have a serious problem in baseball.?
A-Rod,everyone is in love with him now but as soon as he goes into his usual slump it will be another year about how he was a mistake for the Yankees. He is junk every post season, anyone making the money he makes should be a lock as a post season hero not a post season flop. He is on a tear now but at the end of the year it will be the same old A-Rod bashing in NY. Look at the past few seasons in NY and it is proof he is overrated, dont just look at the first 20 games of this year look at his whole career.Have we overlooked something in the Barry Bonds case?
Jeter. He's very good and he's building a Hall-class career. That merits some enthusiastic fandom, but the utter worship he receives is insane.Who will win the NL Cy Young this year?!?
any DH Jim Thome David Ortiz Jason Giambi and so on they dont fully help their team how can you possibly say a rod this man will perhaps be the greartest baseball player in history when he retires not to mention he is on pace to shatter the home run recordPick from all active players, Name your fantasy 2007 MLB team?
Alex Rodriquez simply because of his 252 million dollar contract and his lack of production during the post season.Has anyone gotten a game winning SB by stealing home?
simple!! barry bonds! forget about the home run record! he was on steroids for several years and used substances to get tho where he is! he is also the bigges jackass! in history! he is a bigot and hates white people!!Derek Jeter. Going to the hall of fame, but not the greatest at anything. Jose Reyes, and Jimmie Rollins will be better career shortstops in the end. Its sad how Jeter gets more credit than Cal Jr. too.
Derek Jeter.
So where is the sub category for SOFTBALL?
How can anybody be saying A-Rod right now? He's got 14 homers, 34 RBI's, and a couple of game winning walk off jobs. How is that overrated?I think Brandon Webb of the D-Backs is overrated... there is just no way, in my mind, that he should have beat out Roy Oswalt for the Cy Young. I would like to see the two go head to head in a game.
In baseball, what is a sandwich pick?
Carlos Zambrano. This guy has good stuff. But he never really has put up THAT great of numbers. He is a hothead how walk a lot, and has hit way too many batters with his lack of control. Look at his numbers this year. They are not that good. More hits than innings - high walks - an ERA over 6 - and only one win. All this from the guy who promised us he would win the Cy Young award.Should a rod be called a roid?
i think it would have to be alfonso soriano. he is honestly not that good. either he strikes out or hits a homerun. which usually he strikes out more. he is a terrible fielder. i just think hes that good. hes fast and powerful, but thats it.Hey, Giants fans, how does it feel to be swept by the Dodgers?
Past couple of years: David Wells, Hank Blalock, Mike Lowell, Mike Piazza, Javier Vazquez, Eric Milton, Brad Radke, Luis Castillo, Shawn GreenDid Babe Ruth shotgun beers in the dugout?
I wouldn't have siad this before his contract this year, but Iwould say Gil Meche.How do I make it rain on 2005 MVP baseball?
Wow a Sox fan is the only one that picked Zambrano. I would say that all Chicago White Sox fans are overated. They are bandwagon jerks that care more about the Cubs losing than anything the Sox do.YANKEE STADIUM: Need help with what Bleacher PF means? Is it in front of Right Field Bleachers?
I got the right answer for sure here. It is Scott Rolen. He makes alot of good plays at third but he botches alot of routine ones. He is an average hitter at best (for godsake he is surrounded with pujols, edmonds, larry walker, etc. etc.) He is always injured or sick. He is the biggest ** i have ever seen. I am from st. louis and i am a card fan. I have no real problem with rolen being the cards third baseman because there is not alot of good third basemen out there. My problem is him winning the gold gloves and the all star appearances and the big money contracts. He deserves none of those. He is lucky to be in the league. If he played anywhere but third he would be lucky to crack a starting lineup little on going to allstar games.More Questions & Answers...
