Running 2017 MLB regular season thread

By WAR he'd be the third-worst at the position, ahead of only the aforementioned High Pockets and Bottomley. By WAR only 12 HOF players are below him and one of them, for obvious reasons, is Campanella.

 

Yeah, I don't think Garvey's much of a HOF threat.

 

Garvey's hall case rests almost completely on MVP voting results. He did extremely well in his era, and is 60th all time in MVP win shares. That is good number, but a number that should be part of a larger case for enshrinement. The rest of his case folder is basically empty.

 

20 years ago maybe.
Not now.

Major League Baseball Has A Cocaine Problem | HuffPost

 

Interesting. Wonder how long it will be before we have a John Mayberry situation, where a player being coked out of his mind costs his team a key game?

 

I hope someone in the Clippers organization printed this article and just casually placed it on Doc Rivers' desk.

 

Just when you thought Pete Rose couldn't get any sleazier:

Court doc: Pete Rose accused of statutory rape

BTW, his defense apparently was "I thought she was 16."

 

I have a hard believing its a problem for major league players to find cocaine

 

Assume we are talking about the 1977 ALCS.

I thought Mayberry was hungover from drinking.

 

Tim Raines indicted into the hall and a story breaks on a new baseball cocaine problems. That's synergy.
