I don't get why you hate Dioner Navarro and love Tek. Let's take a look at their numbers.
Navarro: .318/.370/.435 4 homers, 33 ribbies 118 OPS+
Varitek: .219/.301/.360 7 homers, 27 ribbies 73 OPS+
So Navarro has an OBP higher than Tek's slugging percentage, but Tek is better?
1) Varitek has more HRQuote:

And now the big question...WHY is Rivera a bad closer?Quote:

An example of a bad closer is Mo Rivera? LOL! Have you ever seen his career numbers. No, never mind, I am not even gonna try and convince you; if you haven't realized that Mo is the best after a decade of dominance, then you either, are an 'Irrational Yankee Hater', Retahded, or both.
Yeah, like yesterday when the "captain" struck out with runners in scoring position against a "bad" closer in Mariano Rivera... LOL.Quote:

Well, IMO, being a long-term good guy and team captain with decent to good stats, several all-star appearences, and a couple of rings to boot makes you a HOF.
I know, but when he was the Mets' closer he wasn't very good...Quote:

You ruined my story :(Quote:

Derek Jeter isn't a "good guy" though. If you replaced the "u" in guy with an "a", and dropped the word "good", maybe I'd agree with you.Quote:
