Around Baseball 2015

I must be an idiot for not knowing who he is

 

You are just young. Dave Henderson was a pretty decent player. Not a household name for a lot of fans in his day. Had one very big hit in the playoffs.

[Krylian]

Hendu

Had two actually, in the same postseason, except the homerun in game 6 ended up redundant. But he was a really good player in the playoffs SSS be damned.

And a famous nickname from Marge schott

6.4 WAR season in 1988.

 

I certainly remember him from those awesome A's teams in the late 80's - early 90's. That's right when I first really got into baseball at like age 9-10. Always thought he was Ricky's brother. Haha. Bob Welch, Carney Langford, Dave Stewart, the Henderson brothers, Jose, Big Mac and Eck...

[Brownie19]

Just looking at old A's stats....funny to see 2015 Estrada was as valuable at Bob Welch was in 1990 when he want 27-6.

 

Was Bob Welch the poster child for the devaluing the 'win'????

4.8 k/9 yuk...

[Jimcanuck]

I'm always amazed that no NHL players are ever named......even NBA players seem to avoid these claims to some extent...

 

cocaine seems to be the nhl choice

[burlingtonbandit]

Fantastic story about the doping

 

Includes a lot of MLB stuff as well.

And weed in the NBA

MLB too, unlike the NFL you are allowed to have marijuana in your system.

 

Price and Longoria got a whole bunch of weed stolen from their house a few years back in ST lol.

4.8 k/9 yuk...

 

That was 56th amongst qualified starters in 1990. A different era...

The moment they paint PED's as an evil in sport I found it un-watchable.

I don't think PED use is half as bad as the s*** athletes normally do but I still found it to be a great story. Amazing undercover work and its very interesting nonetheless. Funny that the first 2 doctors were located in Vancouver.

 

Everyone in that story is probably sweating bullets right now.

[Angrioter]

LAD RP Yimi Garcia car accident. He's ok

A Honda? Come on Yimi.

[TheHurl]

lol @ that scrub Teagarden. He's probably so embarrassed every time he talks to people in the doping scene.

 

"Oh you won a gold medal? Ya man.. that Delta-2 stuff is really great. Did it work for me? Ya man... ya.. had like 100 ABs in the past 4 years, played for a few different teams here and there. Got to see many cities in our great country you know? Ha.. ha.."

 

Didn't Teagarden win an Olympic medal?

Yankees to acquire Chapman.

[BTS]

Chapman, Miller, and Betances. Not bad.

Hearing Yankees will give up 4 minor league players for Chapman. But none from elite group of Sanchez, Judge, Mateo, Bird, etc.

SP Rookie Davis is in the deal and 3 other minor leaguers--more info to come.

[jaysfan2014]

Chapman, Miller, and Betances. Not bad.

 

Considering they traded Warren and Wilson away, this deal was basically a necessity. Plus, there's a risk of Betances/Miller regressing.. Yankees are just trying to avoid this risk.

[Trouba95]

Omfg...what a steal. None of their blue chip guys. f*** sakes

[G-Snarls]

Chapman, Miller, and Betances. Not bad.

 

Bullpen insanity

[jaysfan2014]

Bullpen insanity

 

One warning--the Yanks made this deal, knowing Chapman likely will face a suspension.

[G-Snarls]

Girardi will run those 3 into the ground too

Yankees have acquired Aroldis Chapman from the Reds for RHPs Caleb Cotham and Rookie Davis and INFs Eric Jagielo and Tony Renda.

[G-Snarls]

[z3r0s]

Its time to bring Votto home.
