There's so many what-if's in baseball. What if Manny tried harder and studied pithcers? He could feasibly be the RH Ted Williams. What if Pedro knew how to "pitch" when he could still throw 97? He used to just blow it by people and now he has to change speeds and pitches constantly. If he was doing that 5 years ago... I don't even want to think about. What if Ken Griffey never got injured? What if Mickey Mantle took more care of himself? So many... I just accept the players for who they are and what they do and try not to think about what if things were different. |
what are you talking about? pedro KNEW how to pitch when he was throwing 99, have you even seen his career stats? pedro martinez had his best years with the expoes and the red sox before all his injuries...the reason he has to change speeds is because he CAN'T throw 99 mph anymore...he can barely throw 94 mph
as for manny ramirez...he has a career .600 slugging percentage with multiple 130+ rbi season with the indians...how much better do think he could've done? by the time he retires he's a first ballot hall of famer |

Hah? Have I ever seen his career stats... :haha: :haha:
And... NO, Pedro didn't know how to pitch. He's said it in interviews. He's said that he used to just blow it by people. And now that he hits 87-90 on a regular basis, he has to change speeds MUCH more often and pitch selections. This year, with his 89 MPH fastball, his stats are rivaling his 2000 year, the best year by a pitcher EVER. If in 2000, he changed speeds and the like like he does now, his stats probably would have been video game stats.
And yeah, Manny is one of the best RH hitters of all time. But he doesn't study pitchers. He doesn't even pay attention in the batters box. Ask him "Who's pitching against you today?" and he replies "I don't know." Perhaps if he studied pitchers, he would be better than Babe Ruth. Who knows?

Really, he's only WAY off on his power numbers. He's slugging .431 while his career avg is .485. He was hurt for a while, so I'm sure that has somehting to do with it. I also think part of the pressure of being "THE" guy has something to do with it. Looks at Alex Rodriguez last year. Way off from his career numbers. This year... he's back to being the best player in baseball.
Beltran is starting to turn it up now. He had a terrible July where he batted: .198/.268/.376
So far in July: .308/.343/.477
So yeah... he'll be fine. :p |

| Have any non-Mets fans realized how great our OF defense has been? Cameron has been ridiculous in RF. Beltran has been Beltran. And Floyd. Wow... talk about a ressurgence. Besides his bat... he has been phenomenal in LF. That doesn't get any mention in the press because they're too busy talking about the usual overrated OFs. |

Without question Beltran is the biggest BUST in Fantasy Baseball this year. In our league, A Rod was traded for Beltran and some scrap guy I can't remember right when the season started. Beltran I think was the 4th pick. Dude has 4, I said 4, steals.
I know his injury had something to do with that but still....
I do think he's adjusting to NYC and will have a much bigger year next year to help the Mets finish 2nd to last instead.
