Guest Anglesault Posted October 25, 2004 Report Posted October 25, 2004 What do you think the Yankees should do for firstbase next year? (assuming Bernie will become a fulltime DH, and Giambi will be hit by a comet just as he's ready to come back) Has there ever been consideration of playing Bernie at 1B? I think the general line of thinking is that if the 1st Basemen isn't going to be a Giambi type hitter, they want someone who can field the position.

I think the general line of thinking is that if the 1st Basemen isn't going to be a Giambi type hitter, they want someone who can field the position. Sometimes a player losing his skills at one position benefits defensively from a move to another position. Just because Bernie is bad at a tough position doesn't mean he'll be bad at an easier position. Probably the opposite. And if it doesn't work, they can always try someone else.

People who've never played first tend not to turn into Don Mattingly overnight.
EVIL~! alkeiper Posted October 25, 2004 Report Posted October 25, 2004 True. But they don't need Don Mattingly. They just need average defense to succeed there.
Guest Anglesault Posted October 25, 2004 Report Posted October 25, 2004 True. But they don't need Don Mattingly. They just need average defense to succeed there. We have some extremely wild throwers in the infield. Olerud and Clark saved countless errors this year. I don't know if someone who's never played first would be prepared for that.
EVIL~! alkeiper Posted October 25, 2004 Report Posted October 25, 2004 That kind of thing usually amounts to just a few plays per year. I wouldn't be too concerned about it.
mike546 Posted October 25, 2004 Report Posted October 25, 2004 No, Saults right. Â Jeter makes bad throws ALL the time. It happens atleast once every other game.
Open the Muggy Gate Posted April 18, 2006 Report Posted April 18, 2006 I thought I'd relive the day when everyone chewed me out for picking the Red Sox only to see them come back and win 4 straight in the end. Ah.... good times, good times. And Anglesault and mike546 in perfect form of course. Â I'd figure this coulda been a classic thread. Oh well...
Slayer Posted April 18, 2006 Report Posted April 18, 2006 The AIM chats were much better than anything in this thread  Unfortunately I was using my g/f's computer for most of the time and I couldn't install an AIM logger on it.  Boo
Open the Muggy Gate Posted April 18, 2006 Report Posted April 18, 2006 Yeah, I liked the chats too, but I didn't save them. So this is all we've got.
Brett Favre Posted April 18, 2006 Report Posted April 18, 2006 I saved one of them, but can't find it. I think it was the Mo Vaughn, Jeter clutch one.
the max Posted April 18, 2006 Report Posted April 18, 2006 I got drunk during the "Jeter is clutch" one that we had for game 1.
