speaking of dave colins’ i looked him up at b-r cause you mentioned his name, (Before my time) and he got traded away with fred mcgriff for 2 no-names (remember i’m lookin at purely numbers and have never seen these guys play)

Speaking of H/R splits, I took a look at Dave Collins’ H/R splits in 1982

H: .281-.348/.389 (.737)
R: .221-.277/ .264 (.541)

Weird at how he could hit at home, but not on the road.

Not to take away from Bay’s skills which I do respect, but his offense is enhanced by the wall. Same for Lowell.

Their H/R splits disagree with you.

@ nwyank:
u typo’d “Wild Card leading team”, but it’s ok i forgive you

Hey Steve – any predictions on the 2nd half?
At the beginning of the season you expressed doubt that the Red Sox pitching staff was much better than the Yanks. What thinks you now?

3rd place team. The young Yankees are not stars and probably never will be. Not enough key players in their prime. The “big 3″ Hughes, Joba, and IPK (should be RPI as in Run Per Inning) have been a disappointment. So they are good at getting 3 outs in the 8th. Big deal.
I wonder if the experts at NoMaas are still arguing via minor league stats that Hughes is better than Lester.
Still, the team is loaded with talent and that alone will win lots of games. Just seems to me that the team is less than the sum of its parts.

Looks like David Cone will be testifying as one of the majority witnesses during the confirmation hearings of Judge Sotomayor. Apparently the temporary injunction she issued in 1995 ended the baseball strike.

My guess is he will likely be looking for 15M/yr for 5 yrs. The Yankees could be stupid enough to do that.

Yes they could, I will be infuriated if they do that.

On another note, isn’t it weird how the wall in Fenway has been known to enhance careers where the short porch in YS has been known to hurt them? Look at Giambi and how he became so pull-conscience as a Yankee.
