First, I saw you, in person, hit the homer that broke the record for catchers. Second, you shouldn't be in the HOF. Last, it's his first year in arb. He might be the best hitter I've ever seen. I'd take him to arb this season and consider long-term next season if I could make it work within my budget. He's going to be expensive at some point. I would NOT arb him three times because he will test FA. So, if you can't make it happen LT next season, be sure you sign him LT in his third arb year.

Why shouldn't Fisk be in the HOF? Because he played for the White Sux?

Not once, when Fisk was playing, did I think "Damn, I'm watching a future Hall of Famer." That's pretty subjective but that's my reasoning. He was an accumulater.

That is not a question. Piazza shattered your record in about half the seasons.

Better than this tool?

Slightly.

66.6% of fisk72's current posts are going to be redlined. Is he the devil?

That is not a question. But I'll answer nonetheless. I don't think we have the same definition of "dominate". He made the A/S team about 10 times. He won the Silver Slugger 2-3 times. I don't think he won a Gold Glove. With the exception of 1 season, he never hit 30 homers. I think he hit .300 once. He threw out basestealers at the league average. Nothing about him says "dominator". He was a good catcher who could stay on the field. And, because of that, he accumulated some pretty big numbers. His per season numbers are pretty pedestrian.

I don't think he's the devil. I think he has failed to understand the format of this thread.

If Fisk72 changed his name to Posada20, would he get better answers from you?

Andy Pettitte - Hall of Famer?

No, he would not. But, if Fisk72 is a HOFer, Jorge can make plans for the induction ceremony.

I'd say "no". But I have a higher standard for the HOF than the HOF does.

Why is my earlier posts under site review?

Threadmaster Sergie does not tolerate people not asking questions in the "Ask the MikeT23 thread". His thread, his rules.

what do you make of these Reds mikey?

Do you remember when we used to look forward to erff's posts?

Why can't he go back to posting pics of big boobies?

What do you think of my hardball dynasty radio program? Have you listened yet? Have you looked in the USMLB blog for the player? :)
