NIGHT STALKER Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 12 games into the season is a good time to evaluate everything. That makes sense. You're right to an extent, but your starting pitching which is supposed to be your strong point hasn't showed up...offense was going to take a hit this year anyway.

There are still 150 games left. Pitching will be fine. Offense has a few concerns, but it is still April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guido Monzino Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 12 games into the season is a good time to evaluate everything. That makes sense. It's not much different than making predicitions in March, which we all have done. And two weeks in, I am on point. Wouldn't it be easier for you to just accept that this season will be a failure now? Rather than get yourself all excited and worked up and then crushed late in the summer?

Thor99 Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Not a good start to the season. They'll turn it around, the Yankees will lose a couple of games and there will be threads about firing Girardi and trading A-Rod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otter Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Usually it's the Yankees that start out like this. A lot of us around here said that the Sox lacked offense and it has proven true so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of us around here said that the Sox lacked offense and it has proven true so far. The Sox bigger concern is that their supposed strengths, pitching and especially defense, are what are failing miserably. Pretty much everyone knew this team won't be scoring a bunch of runs any more already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrazyCarl40 Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Nope Yes. Blackout's right. Longoria is probably the best 3rd sacker in the bigs right now. Including A-Rod. Depending on how the Rays do, he is a viable MVP candidate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackout Posted April 20, 2010 Author Share Posted April 20, 2010 Nope lets take a look at everyone's OPS+ from 2005-now since Zimmerman had that AMAZING 20 game rookie "season" in '05: Zimmerman: 116 OPS+ A-rod: 156 OPS+ Longoria: 130 OPS+ Wright: 138 OPS+ baseball reference is your friend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackout Posted April 20, 2010 Author Share Posted April 20, 2010 I would take Wright over Zimmerman but both are solid players. A-rod is still the best until Longoria knocks him off the thrown within the next few years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
