You could argue that at the time, they could have used Espinoza in a bigger package. Would Espinoza/Moncada been enough to get Sale last year?

Probably.

Pomeranz is currently 8th in the AL in ERA and ERA+. Interestingly, his 1.02 HR/9 is the 8th best in the AL.

is there really soccer talk in the baseball forum?

That's sacrilegious. Where are the mods?

Yeah you have a problem?

even with all of his missed time, gronk still averages 57 catches for 870 yards and 10 TD's (15.2 per)

he is going to destroy football this year

hard to believe hes 28 already

Rob Gronkowski has reportedly been following the TB12 method

Sonny Gray is awesome, worst lineup in the game

As usual, its the lineup, not the pitching that fails them this season

Yankees AL Rank
Runs - 2nd
BA - 4th
OBP - 3rd
SLG - 3rd
OPS - 3rd

Go Tribe!

Watched "Ghost" with my daughters, they never saw, figured they should once in their lifetime

Was it awkward watching Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze make a ceramic horse cock dildo with your daughters?

I see your point, July has been decidedly average for their lineup.

I would give them all of June, though.

June Ranks
Runs - 1st
BA - 7th
OBP - 3rd
SLG - 2nd
OPS - 2nd

Well in that case.

Did you see that guy kick it to that other guy the other day? Nobody scored but it was still awesome.

when did this thread go all soccergay on us?

Good price on the car, bawstun. I approve. Sure, it's 12 years old, but mileage is obviously more important than age. When my truck is 12 years old, it will 250,000 miles on it if I keep it that long.

Big debate on Zig's board: Comparing Trout and Mantle through age 26. Trout turns 26 in a couple weeks. Mickey had his greatest seasons before age 30. And then his knees gave out on him. Still managed a few great seasons on shot knees, but nothing like he had in his 20s. Though age 26 Mantle's OPS+ was 174. Trout's is 173.

This debate was triggered by a Phillie sports radio jock who said that Trout is on pace to be the greatest player ever. I suppose that is a reasonable assessment of Trout, to date. The problem with the statement is that everyone has their own criteria for what constitutes "greatest ever." Some people like WAR, some like OPS+, some like accumulated baseball card stats. For me, it is the one guy I would want at the plate with the game on the line. And, I wouldn't choose Trout in that situation.
