[sq764]

Isn't he like 50?

I thought the Yankees could do better than that..

[PaceAdvantage]

Oh brother......:rolleyes:

I guess when you're 8.5 games in front, despite missing 2 of your best starters for weeks, and despite missing your MVP first baseman, you can afford to take a chance on a guy like Olerud....

[sq764]

Yeah, I guess they got the man they wanted.. Screw big Unit :-)

[cj]

The lead just keeps on growing, maybe the Sox should save some of that extra gusto they play with against NY for the Twins!

[sq764]

Well maybe if the O's didn't suck so bad, they could put up a decent fight against the Yanks.. Good Lord, they are just God awful...

I wil say one thing.. I was totally caught off guard to see that Tejada has 96 rbi's! Wow, he is having a monster year.

[PaceAdvantage]

A lot of teams suck when they are playing the Yankees....strange, isn't it?

[kingfin66]

Olerud can still play defense, but he is done at the plate. You can stick a fork in him. He will always be a class act, but I seriously doubt he will help the Yankees. I actually hope I'm wrong, because I really respect the guy.

...and yet, they continue to beat up on Boston. That really has to hurt if you are from Boston.

[sq764]

Nah... The Sox know they'll be in the playoffs.. That's the difference..

[sq764]

PA, the Sox seem to have beaten them 8 times this year.. So not every team sucks when they play the Yankees..

The Orioles seem to suck most of the time.. That is why they are near the bottom of the division again.

[PaceAdvantage]

Yes, that's why I said a lot of teams, not ALL teams.

[sq764]

touche..

This from the guy who a few weeks ago said Philly had "taken command" of the NL East? Excuse me if I'm a bit skeptical of your analysis.

By the way, the O's stink, that's obvious, and yet the Sox are only 10 ahead of them. Isn't that about the same gap between the Yanks and Sox?

[sq764]

Hey, I can't see the future.. I didn't expect the Phillies to go on a slide like this.. (I should have guessed since they can't beat Florida in Florida)

Again CJ, once the playoffs start, all records are 0-0, as much as you hate that :-)

As you can see the last 3 years, winning the division isn't always the recipe for winning the World Series..

[cj]

The record is 0 - 0 in the playoffs, ONLY if you make it.

[sq764]

Ok, let's make it easy.. There are about 50+ games left... Do you think the Sox will make the playoffs, yes or no?

[sq764]

And you can certainly base a guy's entire year on one game! Good call.. You kidding me?

[Pace Cap'n]

Over the years one of the great clutch hitters in all of baseball.

[sq764]

Too bad those years ended in about 1999..

He's one of the worst hitting 1st basemen in the entire American League.

Im not basing my opinion on one game. I believe Olerud
still has some value to a team like the Yankees.
I could be wrong you could be wrong , only time will tell

P.S. Let's Go Mets :D

From Irish's article above...

Almost two weeks later, the move reeks of genius by GM Brian Cashman. Olerud's low-profile fits perfectly into the Yankees' universe. He is hitting .333 (11-for-33) with 11 RBIs in nine games and is the Yankees' best defensive first baseman since Don Mattingly was stockpiling Gold Gloves.

I'd take a guy like this any day of the week. Can hit, can play defense, and doesn't hog the headlines with demands of an astronomical salary. That's a refreshing change of pace in the Big Apple.

[sq764]

Yes, .333 over 9 games and 33 atbats is simply a fantastic measure of a guy's stats.. He hit .245 this year in 78 games..

[Bubbles]

SQ...

Yes, but an argument can be made that that's what a healthy Giambi would be hitting right about now. Remember, he only hit .250 in 2003. With all the talk about Giambi using steroids, a guy like Olerud, who is a much better defensive first baseman than Giambi, is a welcome reprieve.

[sq764]

a viable replacement is more accurate.. Giambi wasn't exactly hard to replace this year..

Hey Jimmy,

Nobody is happier than me to see Olerud get off to a hot start for the Yankees (except for his big hit against Seattle on Saturday of course). Please understand, I watched EVERY game the guy played for the M's this season and he was horrible. He hit .245 - and it was a soft .245. He couldn't pull the ball to save his life. Even his homers were to the opposite field. I haven't seen many of his hits for NY, but the few I have seen have been ground balls through the infield.

The fork may need to be a little bigger, but you can still stick it in because he's still done.

Make no mistake about it, Olerud is making an astronomical salary this season. The Seattle Mariners are paying the lion's share of $7 million. The Yankees only have to pay a prorated share of the major league minimum. It was an easy call to make for the Yankees because even if he doesn't keep hitting, he is still a good defensive 1B.

[Bubbles]

Hey SQ...

You went from Olerud being one of the worst first basemen in the American League to him being a viable replacement on the most prestigious franchise in all of baseball.

Make an opinion and stick with it, man! LOL...:p

[sq764]

He is one of the worst first basemen in the American League, where did I waver on that?

He replaced one of the worst first basemen in the American League.. That's why it's viable.

If he was replacing Lou Gherig, this wouldn't apply..

[Bubbles]

I wouldn't say Giambi's one of the worst. Batting average-wise, he's hit-or-miss, but if he's healthy, he hits 30+ homers and drives in over 100 runs per year. Defensively, he's nothing special, and that's where Olerud's impact is felt right now.

[sq764]

My statement was that this year, Giambi was one of the worst 1st basemen in the league and replacing hiim with an equal version of him would not be difficult.. And they did..

ok, so he's not dead, thanks

[kingfin66]

I'm very, very happy for Olerud. He is a class guy all the way. Like Fonzi said, "I was wr..."

[sq764]

If he could just learn to not hit himself with the bat..
