"easy" is a stretch

As is "showing signs of decline" for the guy that literally was #1 in hits in the league last season, and hits is all we are talking about

Hypo. He's at 3500 minimum after a healthy 2013

That leaves him at 700-800 short?

756 hits short if he were at 3500, and concluding he'd be at a"minumum" 3500 after a healthy year this year? Is assuming that a guy that couldn't stay on the field for 1 full game, was going to definitely accumulate 195 hits, at least!...making that assumption about a 39 year old player? let me put it this way...the 10th greatest season in MLB history (# of hits) for a 39 year old? was George Brett...165...IN MLB HISTORY....only 2 guys in MLB history have hit at least 195 base hits as a 39 year old...and you writing it off as a statistical certainty...

Boggs stuck around a little longer than he should have, but he was a pretty great 3B. From 83-91, he had a WAR of 65.4.


probably one of the most overrated hitters of his era

the original slap hitter who should have been a 25-30 hr guy.

It would never happen because he won't/wouldn't hold up....

Using your logic, and he "matched rose's production from age 40-45" he'd still end up considerably short.

Rose averaged about 115 hits per year over those ages...and he's far an away an exception, not a rule.

Ichiro if didn't start in Japan would of past Rose about 2-4 years ago in hits.

Tom Brady has the worst or biggest QB rating ratio drop from regular season to postseason in NFL history, when discussing SB winning QBs

By definition, it means he chokes worse than any QB in history

Eli Manning has the greatest INCREASE in Reg to postseason QB rating

By definition, he is one of the greatest clutch QBs in NFL history


We still love you very much


entirely false on eli

you NYers lol

Eli gains 6.6 in rating from regular to post season

i looked up ONE guy, jim plunkett...his rating rose 14.4 from regular to postseason (67.5 to 81.9)

thats just one guy


where do you get these silly numbers?

boggs always said he could have done that if he wanted to (like ichiro)

but boggs was an OBP guy way before anyone gave a shit about OBP and he's said that too

7 years. He'll be what, 38, when it's done. Do not want.

Seems the days are over of club friendly, fan friendly contracts

All things considered, it's not bad

I love where this leaves Cano

"we will sign you through 38, like Pedroia, and top that by going to 19 annually"

because so many 3rd basemen have had career OBPs of .400+.

love it!

i heard he would get 20-25 a year

14 is doable

this fucks cano ya think?

Cano will be looking for carl crawford money I think -- 7 years at 20 per. Maybe he goes for 6 at 21 or 22.

This puts Cano where he should be, at about 7-8 years 130-140 million.

Not the 10 years 300 million his boy Jay Z is telling him he can get.

To be fair.. Peddy is not exactly a player that is w holey dependent upon his Physical gifts..

He will decline, but it wont be as sharp...

On the other side...I'm not sure sure about His Constitution in the long run...
