Kyyle23 Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 QUOTE (lostfan @ Apr 19, 2009 -> 02:59 PM) THOME!!! By the way Quentin's leading the majors in homers again. Im going to preface this by saying I love Boers and Bernstein, but I was listening to them before the season started and they were talking about Quentin and Boers said "I dont think Quentin is going to come close to what he did last year homerun-wise", to which Bernstein followed up his comment by saying "Every metric points to Quentin regressing and not having a year like he had last year." I cannot WAIT until September rolls around so I can ask him what Metrics he was referring to like he does to callers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Chappas Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Jerry just got himself penciled into the starting line-up with a good ab there. The thing is, production out of 9, 1 and 2 will make your team better as the pitchers have to work and nothing comes easy so the good hitters can do the damage after the pitcher has had to work all day.

Heads22 Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Well, Carlos is on pace for about 100 homeruns or so this year. That kind of pace is a little unrealistic, so I'm gonna bump the projection down to about 85. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot WAIT until September rolls around so I can ask him what Metrics he was referring to like he does to callers He had something like 20% of his fly balls last year hit for home runs, which was good for about 7th in baseball. He doesn't have the track record in the majors where you would project that to happen again this year. He also hit 5 "lucky" home runs last year. Those two things along with him coming off a wrist injury and it seems pretty reasonable to think that he wasn't going to hit 40 home runs if he stayed healthy all year. http://sports.espn.go.com/fantasy/baseball...2k9_30qwhitesox Edited April 19, 2009 by goblue5699 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will talk about how they were one pitch away last year from sweeping them and instead lost 3 of 4 and shoudl have won 8 in a row. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joejoesox Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Apr 19, 2009 -> 03:06 PM) Texas really does play weird. Year after year, Texas fields an incredibly talented offensive team, due to their homefield conditions (turf-like grass, insane humidity, park dimensions) I think the main reason why I get irritated at all the Hamilton hoopla is because people assume he's the better player (off him and Carlos), because he plays CF, whereas Carlos plays a 'decent' LF. Hamilton 2008: Away: .263 .331 .448 .779 Home: .345 .408 .611 1.019 lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santo=dorf Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 this should've been a 4 game sweep Yeah, that pisses me off too. What would Danks' record be if he had half the run support Gavin has received since 2008? Why in the world is JO(ke) playing in CF with BA going to right?

It would have been a homer at the "Little K" in Kansas City, though. Little K? 387 in the alleys and 410 to center. Not very little.
