2468454, "He's just having fun, he's like a kid out there!" Posted by KosherSam, Tue Jul-28-15 09:59 AM
This post is about those that legit look like they are out there having fun (no Favre-o)
Inspired by the rumors that Jose Reyes might be coming back to the Mets. Dude used to really seem like he was a kid out there, having fun playing a game that he was insanely good at.
Arenas is on the list as well, as is Seattle-era Griffey.
Who else?

2468485, No. 1 in my mind, Patrick Kane when he is on. Posted by ConcreteCharlie, Tue Jul-28-15 10:58 AM
In the NBA I think about White Chocolate. Steph also. It's funny Shaq was like a big ass kid all the time *except* when he was on the court.
In the NFL, Rodgers has a little of that Favre tradition in him. It's hard for guys who aren't quarterbacks to display that, on offense other roles are so precise and allow for little if any overtly playful improvisation. A little bit for defensive players maybe but you have to be a killer to play defense in the NFL.
In baseball there are definitely some guys. Manny and Ichiro come to mind. Vlad Guerrero had that playful, DGAF swag right up until the end. Reyes, sure, Ozzie Smith, too.
Doughty has it in the NHL but it's kind of been hammered out of him by his role and the system in which he plays it. He's had to shoulder so much responsibility, more each year. Kane is the first guy I thought of, weird mix of angry intensity and totally toying with opponents in a way that seems to entertain him. He has this way of getting away from people that's damn near singular and his puck handling is the definition of "fun." Tomas Hertl is another guy that springs to mind that maybe isn't as prominent.

i once saw him make a game-winning, home-run robbing catch. if it went over the wall, they lost, if he made the catch, the game was over. truly incredible.
IMO hunter is a hall of famer. maybe his numbers miss a lot of the standards but they are all pretty good. he meets another criteria i consider, that if you are the best player at your position over the span of ten years, you're in. centerfield is obviously a very prominent position, too

it would be like firebrand's rants about how good hines ward or something. as a multi-tool player he was pretty complete, but taking everything in sum didn't make him a top 3 guy.
still the best CF in the AL for over a decade and i think you could make arguments for him against jones and beltran. didn't have the power beltran did but beltran didn't always have it either. i do think jones lived off rep for a while while he was in an early decline. hunter certainly beat them both in terms of longevity.

Beltran's numbers are better across the board. I'm really not even sure what the argument here is supposed to be.
> i do think jones lived off rep for a while while he >was in an early decline. hunter certainly beat them both in >terms of longevity.
decline from his prime GOAT CF defense maybe, but Jones was still a great defensive player until he fell of a cliff after turning 30.
But yeah Hunter aged like fine wine and certainly deserves credit for staying a very productive player for so long.
|
2470024, put it this way, in sum, who had the better career? Posted by ConcreteCharlie, Thu Aug-06-15 04:55 PM
even if one resigns to saying hunter was merely the best CF in one league (the AL) over a ten-year period rather than MLB, jones had a steep decline and beltran had more than his share of injuries after his early 30s, too.
we are talking HOF potential, no?
and i think being the best in one league for a ten year period is at least worth a look. for example i'd look at omar vizquel for that same reason.

2470249, Beltran and Jones. Posted by 40thStreetBlack, Sat Aug-08-15 12:43 PM
>even if one resigns to saying hunter was merely the best CF >in one league (the AL) over a ten-year period rather than MLB, >jones had a steep decline and beltran had more than his share >of injuries after his early 30s, too.
Well Jones was the best CF in the NL over a ten-year period (actually in all of MLB but let's just stick to the one-league thing here), so by your argument that makes him HOF worthy, no? His Dale Murphy-esque fall off a cliff promptly following that will hurt him with HOF voters, but a decade-long run as a HOF caliber player should certainly make him worthy of induction.
Beltran had his injury issues in his early 30s but bounced back nicely his last year in NY when they traded him to SF + the next couple seasons in St Louis. And as I mentioned previously his career #'s are better than Hunter's across the board.
>we are talking HOF potential, no?
yes: baseball-ref HOF monitor (Likely HOFer ≈ 100)
A.Jones: 109 Beltran: 104 Hunter: 58
A.Jones: 62.8 career WAR/46.4 7yr-peak WAR/54.6 JAWS Beltran: 67.3 career WAR/44.3 7yr-peak WAR/55.8 JAWS Hunter: 50.5 career WAR/31.2 7yr-peak WAR/40.9 JAWS
Avg HOF CF: 70.4 career WAR/44.0 7yr-peak WAR/57.2 JAWS (out of 18)
Center Field JAWS Leaders: http://www.baseball-reference.com/leaders/jaws_CF.shtml
Beltran: 8th all-time A.Jones: 10th all-time Hunter: 30th all-time
Beltran and Jones are pretty solidly HOF caliber. Hunter has had a terrific career but he's not quite there.
>and i think being the best in one league for a ten year period >is at least worth a look. for example i'd look at omar vizquel >for that same reason.
oh yeah he's worth consideration, like walleye said hopefully he gets enough votes to stay on the ballot for several years and engender conversation about what a terrific career he's had. I'm all for that.

I didn't say it was an automatic, I said it meant someone deserved consideration. Jones deserves that but his fall was too hard and too fast.
>Beltran had his injury issues in his early 30s but bounced >back nicely his last year in NY when they traded him to SF + >the next couple seasons in St Louis. And as I mentioned >previously his career #'s are better than Hunter's across the >board.
He was a better hitter, I don't think he was a better centerfielder. When he has been healthy, he has remained productive, but that's like every three seasons on average since he reached age 32 or 33.
>>we are talking HOF potential, no?
Yes, potential, sure.

Hunter has been a really good player but not HOF caliber.

2468849, Over the full ten-year period? No. And certainly no one in the A.L. was Posted by ConcreteCharlie, Wed Jul-29-15 12:49 PM
Nine gold gloves and all while hitting pretty well with above-average power.
|
2469391, Beltran absolutely was. Jones was also better before he fell of a cliff Posted by 40thStreetBlack, Sat Aug-01-15 10:15 PM
at the end. and if you push the start date of the period back a couple years then Jones was clearly better over a full ten-year stretch as well.
That's not a knock on Torii, he's been a terrific player. Those guys were just better.
|
2468881, LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO @ Andruw Jones Posted by cgonz00cc, Wed Jul-29-15 04:26 PM
Dude was a mediocre hitter who just happened to be strong enough to hit it really far when he actually did make contact
And he was living off rep in the field from like 2003 on
No way shape or form a better baseball player than Torii Hunter
Im actually still lol'ing

|
2469355, but the Ks suggest something is also critically flawed Posted by cgonz00cc, Sat Aug-01-15 12:37 PM
He has a damn near 1:1 hit to strikeout ratio
And a 1/3 ish OBP
Everything he did at the plate was power first, second, and third. No eye, no patience, and no technique.
|
2469409, yeah this is pretty funny right here: Posted by 40thStreetBlack, Sun Aug-02-15 01:01 AM
>Dude was a mediocre hitter who just happened to be strong >enough to hit it really far when he actually did make contact
and just happened to have a higher OBP than Hunter, only 2 pts higher K% but 4 pts higher BB%, 23 pts higher SLG%, 27 pts higher OPS, 10 pts higher wOBA. And that's even after cratering in his 30s.
>And he was living off rep in the field from like 2003 on
nah that was Torii after 2005 or so. Andruw was hands-down the best defensive centerfielder of his generation and arguably the GOAT.
>No way shape or form a better baseball player than Torii >Hunter
significantly more power, got on base more, substantially better defender. so there's a way, a shape and a form right there.
>Im actually still lol'ing > >Lol
I'm actually guffawing at you lol'ing.

2469500, Torii Hunter helped get me interested in baseball again Posted by Walleye, Sun Aug-02-15 08:15 PM
But this conversation is so weird. He's had an amazing career. I hope he gets enough Hall of Fame votes to stay on the ballot a few years to keep people talking about how great he was.
But he wasn't as good as Andruw Jones. I kind of assumed that was universally understood. That it wasn't even an argument.
And good on you bringing up the weirdly under-rated Beltran.
|
2469738, ha yeah I was actually hoping you wouldn't take it the wrong way Posted by 40thStreetBlack, Tue Aug-04-15 11:56 AM
like I said above Torii has been a terrific player. those other 2 guys were just better. wasn't trying to be down on Torii, he's great.
>And good on you bringing up the weirdly under-rated Beltran.
Mets fans & NY media never warmed up to him after his disappointing 1st season in NY (despite the fact he played most of the season hurt with a torn quadricep & then broke his face in a collision w/ Mike Cameron, but nobody cared about that), and then after taking the called 3rd strike ending the NLCS the next year they were pretty much over him. It was always "yeah he's good, but...", they never really appreciated what a great player he was.

Donovan was emotional in all directions and when he got it going he had that huge smile and wicked improvisational ability. He was a guy who fed so much off confidence, you knew exactly when he had it and when he did and holy shit when he had it he would COOK.
Iverson was like that too but he was more serious, more of a warrior. He hit the goddamn floor too much to be smiling and having a good time, and there was no opening for a laugh when he beat four or five different guys en route to a layup.

And a ton of linemen in football, actually several tons of them.
It's funny you see very very few fat hockey players, even fewer than you see fat guys in hoops. You can usually count the overweight guys in the league on one hand. Some of them have been pretty good players, Keith Tkachuk got real fat at one point and the Blues suspended him. If you're above like 10% body fat that's rather unusual. Byfuglien almost certainly is, but he carries his weight really well.

2468985, All that skating is a fucking great workout Posted by magilla vanilla, Thu Jul-30-15 11:57 AM
Even if you get the ice time of a Bob Probert during games (i.e. 30 second shift followed by five minutes sitting on your own across the ice), you still have to skate for a couple of hours every day during practice, and even "standing around" on skates is engaging your legs/core much more than standing around during other practices.
|

an hour practice is long, any longer and it's always a time with multiple off days. i feel like some teams barely practice at all (blackhawks) but the weights, the film and all that kind of shit is more intense and time-consuming than ever.

2468962, There was a Mayweather fight Posted by Numba_33, Thu Jul-30-15 10:03 AM
when he was actually talking to Jim Lampley while he was in the ring boxing against his opponent and Jim Lampley was sitting ringside. I'm certain this was pre-PPV days.

2468980, Falcons Vick Posted by Dr Claw, Thu Jul-30-15 11:40 AM
some of those games where he was on were straight LOL fests.
when he came to the Eagles, there were moments of LOL but it all seemed unreal and totally professional. might be part of the whole "image" rehab things, but the spectacle def had changed. I'll never forget the Ether Game.

Not Ray, Raymond, Ray Ray or Raymundo, Rey like the Spanish word for King. Loved watching that dude operate.
