I could give 2 ***** what you buy or not

I know all about advanced statistics. You'd be surprised how well versed I am with them. So, ignorance isn't perhaps the best word to describe me pertaining to baseball stats. Rather indifference is....

You'll never understand.... Baseball is played between the lines. Always has and always will. No amount of math can change that. You're too far gone.

Because baseball is played with heart not bogus sabermetric stats. That's why. It's game played by highly skilled men between the lines. Not with your calculator. Some fans will never realize....

go ask Harold Reynolds who the strongest man in the league is. Go ask Mitch Williams and Curt Schilling. They will say and have said it's Chris Davis.

You go ahead and ask any baseball analyst and the majority will say Davis is the strongest man in the MLB. You aren't really listening. He's just freaking bigger and stronger than everyone. He's just...

Because I know what I see and this guy is just bigger and stronger than everyone else. Did he not go deep on a broken bat? Cuz I saw that live.

I put my money on Chris Davis smashing the ball further than anyone in the league in batting practice. Book it. The guy is the strongest man in the league. Look at the size of the guy!!! Does anyone...

Isolated Power doesn't equate power.

Plus he is the strongest man in the MLB. Just look at him. He would eat and swallow Justin Upton or Stanton. Chris Davis would destroy them. Just look at the...

Did he not just hit on 444 feet with just an easy stroke? Cuz that's what I saw. He kept two hands on the bat all the way through and just put an easy contact swing on it. He can hit the ball 500...

Harold Reynolds played in the MLB. We just watch the games. So let's chill with frying him.

444 feet and he didn't even come out of his shoes. This is the strongest man in the MLB period.

Watch out for Chris Davis though. Could be on his way to 60 home runs. He just hit one 444 feet today.

Pretty much it is. I don't see a power running team with marginal QB play winning a super bowl in the future.

It's a power trip. All it is.

Yes it's normal for players not to be as good in their 30s. But are we talking about age 39? Because obviously most players aren't the same at age 39. But Markakis at age 31 for example will probably...

NFL is passing league. Running backs are worth way more than fullbacks anyways. Nobody really cares if you can run the ball. Yea I said it. Who the hell cares? Yay! you ran on us. Too bad our QB is...

Why won't he do it? It's already pretty well known that he's damn well conditioned. He's not your stereotype fatass baseball player.

Markakis with another 2 hits today. Does that mean anything in the grand scheme of things? No, not really. Does that make him a great player. No, Not really. But I digress.

The guy will continue...

Basically this. I'd put money on it that Markakis is this generations Johnny Damon. Would be cool to see if can compile for longer though.

Markakis will be a free agent at age 31. At this point he won't have declined yet. I see no reason why he couldn't get a 5 year deal. After this point it will all be about want to, health and playing...

There is more than 1 way to reach 3000 hits. Some guys are just really damn good. Like Miggy. He's a much better player than Markakis.

But others can follow the Craig Biggio blueprint.

As a compiler he sure as hell does.

1. Does he play catcher, 3B or Middle Infield? No
2. Is he durable? Yes
3. Does he have a good start? Yes
4. Is he a hard nosed player? Yes
5. Is he...

All the guys in the opening post have red flags for longevity.

The one exception is Markakis. That's why I'd give him a stronger chance than most.

It will never return. Running Backs can't rely on power exclusively anymore. The defenses today are too big and strong.
