That ain't happening. Jose is dogshit at 1st base. He'll be lucky if he is DH on a WS squad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moan4Yoan Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 I'm still waiting to hear someone tell me other 39 year old players that have hit as well as Cruz and are on pace for 50 homeruns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Collins sucks dude. Neither player matters in the end. Collins was extremely overmatched in his limited stint with the big club. He was 2-26. Palka got sent down after going 1-30. That is almost as bad. If he put up 2 more 0-4 games would that have satisfied you? Palka didn't strike out at a 54% clip either. Two sides of the same coin. If Collins looks this bad a 24 I doubt he ever sticks in the majors. Edited July 27, 2019 by Jack Parkman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moan4Yoan Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Embarrassing that Stone, Benetti, and Garfien are even entertaining stories about Cruz becoming a better hitter with age. What a bunch of clowns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only comparisons to Cruz at his age of 38/39 and other guys still hitting homeruns at his age are Barry Bonds, David Ortiz, Rafael Palmeiro, and Mark McGwire... all known roiders.
