Pedro Martinez: “Who Are You, Kareem Garcia?”
1-liner, Baseball October 29th. 2009, 5:00pmPedro Martinez: Don Zimmer still hates Pedro Martinez. For obvious reasons – Red Sox, Mets – we feel the same way. Want to laugh at Pedro? This video is terrific: “Who are you, Kareem Garcia, to try to test Pedro Martinez, a proven player for 10 years?” Here’s something for Phillies fans – ESPN’s Rob Neyer crafts an argument claiming that Shin-Soo Choo is better than Ryan Howard. (Not a joke.) Choo was good to us in fantasy – lost in the Championship – but this is preposterous. A 20-20 guy with a slightly better OBP (.394 to .360) and average (.300 to .279) trumps a guy who has delivered 45+ homers and 135+ RBI four years in a row? [Sports Illustrated]

Wanna know why Howard has more RBI? Oh I don’t know, maybe cause he plays in the best lineup in AAAA and in the best hitters park in the NL rather than with a bunch of minor leaguers in the AL.

Fuck Karim Garcia

I bet Howard has a bigger cokesnout than Choo.
October 29th, 2009 at 5:10 pm
Is he trying to become this guy’s agent or something?
What’s your point? That Howard is not a good hitter?

Your anger this week is historic.

Choo’s MVP caliber? What the fuck have i been missing the past 2 years?
October 29th, 2009 at 5:12 pm
I dont believe I said that in that paragraph
October 29th, 2009 at 5:12 pm
Yep, keep using fantasy production as your gauge of a baseball player’s value.

in fairness, neither of them are MVP caliber.

The quote itself is amazing, but the way he says it is incredible. Guy can work a room.

They were each worth about 5 wins to their team this year… but, that doesn’t matter, because RBI’s are the sexy!!!!!

You’ve got a funny definition of a baseball prime.
October 29th, 2009 at 5:14 pm
Yes you would. This is his prime. Players built like him age fast. If you guys signed him (or whoever does) they’re going to regret the backend of that contract. A lot.

isnt the prime in baseball a little later than football and basketball?
October 29th, 2009 at 5:17 pm
+1, brilliant
October 29th, 2009 at 5:20 pm
Everything I’ve read said 27-30 or so is a baseball prime. Steroids adjusted that range somewhat in the past 10 years, but historically those numbers hold.
October 29th, 2009 at 5:21 pm
~20 years maybe
