Agreed on your IM. He seemed like a genuinely nice guy and was a great hitter - amoxy Jun 2, 08:50 1
- He's been nothing but good for the Team, the City and hopefully the Sport. -- nm - Mel Profit Jun 2, 09:02
I really can't stand it... - Mel Profit Jun 2, 08:50 18
- I just can't think of something similar from a 33 year old. - Will Hunting Jun 2, 08:51 17
  - 40 year olds don't fall off this quick. It might be age, but this doesn't fit *any* pattern. (nm) - musubi Jun 2, 08:52
  - Mo Vaughn? Albert Belle? nm -- nm - groiny Jun 2, 08:52 13
    - vaughn maybe....but that was direct injury (tricep?)...same with Belle's hip degenerating. - Will Hunting Jun 2, 08:54 7
      - That's what age is though. Sans injury, just age doens't make you fall off a cliff. - musubi Jun 2, 08:57 6
        
        Belle's not in the same category for me at all. - Will Hunting Jun 2, 08:59 5
        
        Of course. But at 25, they have no career baseline of excellent performance. Point being, once that baseline is established, simple age - musubi Jun 2, 09:02 2
        
        Body slows down by natural aging process = cheating on fastballs and missing badly on everything else. - Will Hunting Jun 2, 09:06 1
        
        Natural aging simply *does not* explain going from an near all-star level to below replacement level. - musubi Jun 2, 09:11
        
        I suspect those Trick Or Treaters put a curse on him. -- nm - David Jun 2, 09:00 1
        
        Or any of the other random people he was an ass to. - Will Hunting Jun 2, 09:02
    - Nomar? nm -- nm - groiny Jun 2, 08:53 4
      - Glenn Davis? nm -- nm - groiny Jun 2, 08:54 3
        
        *cries* - Will Hunting Jun 2, 08:55 2
        
        30+ homers in the astrodome, doe snot hit 30 in 4 seasons after the trade. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 2, 08:56 1
        
        Yeah, that's a good one. I forget why he started sucking, if there was a reason. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 2, 08:57
  - Andruw. -- nm - David Jun 2, 08:52 1
    - At least with Andrew there were visible signs though. - musubi Jun 2, 09:00
