Pretty sure he was laughing at yours and Rat's posts and was in complete agreement that Biggio has a face of shit and cheated.

He had a perfectly normal career arc, his best seasons were from age 26-32 followed by a decline in both pure power and overall production before injury ended his career. Almost all of the "Hall of Fame" level roiders put up their best seasons after age 33-34. He was big I guess, and maybe he used steroids, but there certainly is no real evidence that he used. He also wasn't a pure power player. He was one of the best instinctive baserunners of his generation, and had some speed. Was great with the glove, and had a good arm before he was hurt. He was a plus rated with all 5 tools.

You just described typical steriod use

Biggio used roids too but he's not gonna make it anyway.

Heisey welcomes a chance

Given the free agent alternatives — Cody Ross, Ryan Ludwick, Rick Ankiel — it makes a lot of sense to give Chris Heisey a long trial in left.

Shit. You know what that means. Ankiel to the Reds.

Dusty wants Soriano...make it happen, Theo!

Dusty wants Corey Patterson, he'll settle for Ankiel.

Is that something like being a great clutch hitter?

Barry Larkin. Hall Of Famer

I bet Corky messed up and voted for Gene Larkin instead...

Larkin is in and Trammel is not. It makes no sense. They were the same player. Raines and Bagwell are now fucked. They'll get lost on the ballot in the next few years which is a shame as both are no doubt hall of famers.

Jungle Rat · Post by **Jungle Rat** » Mon Jan 09, 2012 9:18 pm

Larkin got 84% Trammel got 37%. Oops.

Do the Reds retire 11 this year, or do they wait to get more separation from the HoF induction?

The Reds are really going all or nothing for this season. Doesn't seem wise by Jocketty (Cincy fans are notoriously cautious, unless they start winning quick, they will not see a bump in attendance until pretty late in the season), but I guess he has ownerships full support.

That too.

Junior was in Japan teaching kids how to hit. The next swing he pulled a hammy.

I think I'm really going to like this trade with San Diego.
