Remember Brennan Boesch in the first half of 2010? Oh man.

1st half: 65 games, .990 OPS, .342 BA
2nd half: 68 games, .458 OPS, .163 BA

the jays are going to ruin the AL east between him and dantes bichettes kid bo.

Sox/Yanks/Jays/Rays also have some young guys on the way

Baltimore is gonna become perennial doormats in this division

 

[Rock Strongo]

amazing how some "cant miss" kids even with a bloodline can flounder.

remember kyle drabek?

hes toiling away in independent ball, and getting beat bad.

ERA over 8.00, WHIP approaching 2.00

in indy ball

Yeah his is probably the worst difference I can find. Jonny Gomes in 2006 is pretty bad too (.863 OPS in the first half in 86 games, .473 in the 2nd half in 31 games). Yasmani Grandal in 2015 had a .927 OPS in the first half in 69 games, and a .498 in the 2nd with 46 games.

My thoughts are that if you root for the Yankees and ManU, you are a douche.

I don't root for any team in the EPL. My team is actually Atletico Madrid. I just prefer to watch the EPL

I could see a bounce back

Mikatyrian (sp), looks like a legit player

I watched a documentary on Ibrahimovic on Netflix......"Being Ibrahimovic"

That guy has been an arrogant douche dating all the way back to when he was like 15

Always the same hated guy

I'm just bustin balls. I like Atletico because Torres is one of my favorite players all time because of what he did with Spain, Liverpool, and then what he didn't do for Chelsea.

They didnt lose Griezman right?

One of the best players in the world

 

[soxfan1468927]

This year will be the first time since 2012 that the first player to reach 40 HRs doesn't play for the Orioles.

2016: Mark Trumbo
2015: Chris Davis
2014: Nelson Cruz
2013: Chris Davis

I just love their style of play & Simeone as a coach is amazing
