Guest FrigidSoul Report post Posted May 31, 2004 Woohoo, Griffey homers and gives me 3RBIs Trading Mike Cameron and Zack Day for Griffey sure makes me look like a genius Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bored 0 Report post Posted May 31, 2004 From Al's column: Left Field: Kirk Gibson Kirk Gibson inspired this list. It seems truly puzzling that a player of Gibson's talents never made an All-Star team. 255 home runs, 284 stolen bases, .352 OBP, .463 Slugging, and an MVP award top Gibson's impressive resume. The only good explanation seems to be rotten luck, as Gibson usually finished behind the likes of Rickey Henderson, Dave Winfield, Darryl Strawberry, and Andre Dawson. Of course, everyone knows about Gibson's famous World Series home run. Just to add to that, Gibson was injured at the All-Star break in '88 or otherwise he would have been chosen to the team. My suggestion next week is to put a list together of the worst players ever to make the All-Star team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bruiser Chong 0 Report post Posted May 31, 2004 I can't tell you how much might heart sinks every time someone hits a flyball off Joe Borowski. Luckily, this one was a routine out to close out the game. Great pitcher's dual we had today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sfaJack 0 Report post Posted May 31, 2004 Good win for the Cubs today. A much needed one for sure, and Maddux looked pretty good (did they ever say why he had to leave the game?). Maybe they can make it two in a row over the Stros now. The opportunity is certainly there since Brandon Duckworth is pitching for Houston tomorrow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted June 1, 2004 I honestly looked for a right fielder other than Abreu. I really did. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest FrigidSoul Report post Posted June 1, 2004 Jody Gerut plays RF. I know its only his second season but its somebody other than Abreu hehe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bored 0 Report post Posted June 1, 2004 The better pick would be Tim Salmon simply since Abreu will eventually be picked where Salmon is past his prime and thus it's highly unlikely he'll ever play in an All-Star game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted June 3, 2004 My suggestion next week is to put a list together of the worst players ever to make the All-Star team. I've taken up the suggestion. In researching this, its amazing how many bad catchers have made the All-Star team. Some of these guys make Joe Girardi look like a wise move. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bored 0 Report post Posted June 3, 2004 Now without doing any research but the first name that came to mind when I made the suggestion was Mike Sharperson of the Dodgers in 1992 when they lost 99 games. HE WAS A PLATOON PLAYER! Nice OBP (.387) that year but he only played in more than 100 games three times in his career and never played in more than 129.

EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted June 5, 2004 I actually found 10 worse players than Sharperson. Rest assured however, he'll make my list of honorable mentions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
