Now if only he could regarding rightfield. Pete Abraham makes a valid point that Jeter may hit leadoff to break up the two lefties if Brett Gardner hits ninth. What are the top qualities for a leadoff hitter? On-base skills, speed, and pitch-taking ability, yes? Damon's career OBP is .354. Jeter's is .387. Damon has 362 career steals at a 79% ...

... I'm not huge on defensive statistics. They all seem to have some judgement calls and subjective components built in. Until someone invents an intricate system of lasers that measures every single thing happening on a baseball field at once, we aren't really going to be able to understand the little things that separate bad from decent from good from great. ...

... from the Pirates. And indeed he had two tours with both clubs. He was a good .300 hitter with some home run power and a run producer (driving in 106 in 2000). It turns out he is home grown and was traded to the Pirates for the last remaining players from their division title teams, Jeff King and Jay Bell. That's right... he was traded for someone who got more than one vote for the Hall of Fame!

A look at future candidates for the Red Sox Hall of Fame

... -- The question: If Millar doesn't rate Red Sox Hall of Fame status, does Mueller? He, too, played three seasons for the team, becoming a personal nemesis of Mariano Rivera while also winning the American League batting title in 2003, when he hit .326. It's a fine line, but I say he's in. Johnny Damon -- Oh, I know that have you are gagging already. But Damon made two All-Star teams while with Boston, played hard every day, and drove in 94 runs in the regular season as a lead-off hitter for the 2004 World Series champions. Let's be sane, here. He's in, right? ...

Thank goodness that inter-league play is over for another year.  I’m sick of the Royals.  That club is seemingly (hopefully, for their long-suffering fans) on the upswing.  Here’s hoping the latest management team over there doesn’t screw up this go-round like they did with Carlos Beltran, Johnny Damon, et al.

Somewhat interesting KC combined to score 3 runs in the first and third games of the Oakland series. I'm just saying....... Huber now as more at bats this season than he did in 06 & 07. --------- I guess the Royals aren't the only team in Kansas City willing to trade a superstar in his prime.

Let’s look at each Yankee starter. The lineup: Johnny Damon: - Johnny Damon is no longer the elite outfielder for the Yankees and had a terrible spring. Derek Jeter: - How time flies by.

Indeed, there are some days when I feel like I'm merely hanging on to this job by a thread and watching my waistline expand. Still, I've been far more fortunate in my career than I've had any right to expect, and there are many days when I feel like a champion, even if I spend a lot of time seeming somewhat dazed and distracted, wondering what might have been.
