Since Mags is about to be shipped

[aboz56]

Since Magglio is about to be sent outta town, it's time to open the gates on his play last season and why he's not worth the money he's asking for.

 

I know a lot of you watched basically every Sox game last season and attended many as well, here's what I saw from our franchise player last year.

 

1) A lot of posing and admiring home runs that I never saw in the past from him. I really noticed it more towards the end of the season.

 

2) Constantly dogging it when he hit ground balls and knew he didn't have a chance to beat them out. This is one reason by the end of the season that Lee was higher on my list than Ordonez was.

 

3) Big decreases in RBI and HR numbers and a big drop in OPS (.978 to .926).

 

I loved having Maggs on the Southside, but the fact of the matter is, he's not worth the money he's going to ask for after this next season.

 

Thanks for your time with the Sox O-E-O, but it'll be great to see Mark B take you down with that cutter on the outside corner next season.
