1. The Interdimensional Council of Rickey!'s Posted: December 12, 2006 at 02:57 PM (#2258780)Modern case study: Marcus Giles. A violent, concussive blow to the head altered his vision just slightly enough to make him ineffective as a OBP/SLG middle infielder. Discuss.
I remember when the Phils got Dale Murphy and that was the missing link. Boy what a disappointment but even to the casual fan it was easy to see that he just was banged up and couldn't do what he used to do.
It doesn't look good for Giles and that is a shame, assuming that his power wasn't PED-fueled. (God d*** Fehr and Selig, if they had been honorable men who cared about their product, I wouldn't feel compelled to write that PED clause)
Another thing with Giles has been that all the teams shade him to right center and challenge him to pull the ball now. That has led to increased strikeouts, and less XBH.
As for the interview itself, it was nice. You always hear how nice a person Dale Murphy is, and this kidna shows. Well, maybe he can be voted into the career HoF
I thought the same thing when I read this - very cool interview. Just like him to talk about a non-profit AIDS-fighting refugee-camp Little League. He'd be a very good commissioner of baseball. The Anti-Selig.
