10000000000000% agree.
It's April 20th and I am already getting sick of the ARod bashing. Like JM said he has a 40% chance of getting on base. The problem is that is less than 50% and so most will say he failed EVERYTIME he comes up in a crucial situation and doesn't get a hit.
Trying to argue about one of the best players in baseball is stupid. That guy is human and we have thousands of at bats to grade him as a hitter but most feel like breaking his numbers down into small forms so they can twist these stats around. He is what he is and that is a 1st ballot hall of famer and one of the best offensive players to ever play the game, peorid. Arguing anything else makes no sense to me.
Another thing about Lidge, he had like one great yr, after a great half a year...1-1/2 years ... lots of closers over the years have been like this....He may NEVER be that effective again....20 yrs from now , Lidge will be a footnote in baseball history most likely known more for what Phat Albert did to him than anything else.
Brad Lidge's ten minutes appear to be up.

Ortiz career ...what took him so long, he was an entirely different player until age 27 ...he goes from being very slightly above average to Babe Ruth in his late 20's...
For God sake he was released in 2002.hno: insane clutch hitter!
Journey you been drinking tonight....
Take Arod out of this. Are you telling me you dont think Oritz is a clutch performer.
You really got me :think2:
