That's the concern. Since Stearns has been POBO, you don't hear near as much about or from Cohen as before, but he made some subtly snarky remarks towards the fans, so it is curious what the dynamic is there. My personal feeling is Valdez would get eaten alive in NY. If you suck, you get hammered. Lindor, Soto, Nimmo, Alonso...all have been mercilessly booed.

Also, I know this is an Astros thread, but I have nowhere else to go discuss baseball things. Hopefully you guys don't mind me interjecting.

Yeah, I agree. I think he would be the next Matt Harvey in queens.

I obviously don't speak for everyone but nah we don't mind.

As long as you're not here to start shlt or ruffle any feathers you're more than welcome to join and interject.

Yeah it's Astro fans but we discuss all things MLB especially during slow times like this.

Welcome my friend

Ferrer throws straight gas but Ford has Realmuto upside. Maybe makes sense for a team going all in but hurts them some long term.

Seattle doesn't needs another catcher. Cal is literally Superman.

I mean it certainly would make sense to me to DH Raleigh more with Polanco being a free agent to keep him fresh but I'm no big league GM

Cash is so versatile though. I know he's green but there's a lot of growth and interest there if we invest properly in him

That's a head scratcher….

Brady - 7x Super Bowl Rings
Shaq - 4x Championship Rings
Gretzky - 4x Stanley Cup rings.

Greatest QB and arguably greatest player in NFL history

Greatest player in NHL history

One of the top 10 players in NBA history

One of the top 10 New York Yankees ever, 0-1 in attempts to win a ring.

Yeah. I see no differences.

So I got to thinking. Rank Judge in terms of best ever to play for the Yankees.

Who is ahead of him? In no particular order:

Ruth, Mantle, Joe D, Jeter, Rivera, Gehrig. Maybe Berra.

Man that's a deep list.

Stumbled across this video about the 1980 NLCS. I was devastated by both Games 4 & 5.

Are we seeing a backlash against dopers with Clemens and Bonds not making it in yet?

Backlash? No. They are just being consistent with the writers.

Bonds and Clemens (and the rest of the BALCO crew) ain't ever making it.

I certainly don't think they live to see themselves getting in.

I always put Jeff Kent into the Jeff Bagwell category of guys that were never directly implicated in anything but c'mon...

Clemens and Bonds wont ever get in because they were known users whose egos were too big they caused more damage than the PED use.

I'd give Schwarber that deal.

Automatic 35+ homeruns

Yep. Walks a lot. Hits bombs.

Something we miss, other than when Yordan is healthy (Paredes too)

I think Kent deserves it. His career wRC+ is ahead of Ryne Sanberg, Craig Biggio, and Roberto Alomar. He's got HR and RBI counting numbers that crush a lot of HOF second basemen. If you look at raw averages and not account for the league and park adjustments, he's 2nd only to Rogers Hornsby in HOF 2B SLG.
