HORRIBLE All Star Rosters

[EP Hotties]

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 HR

2) Varitek leads in all the intangible categories, as captain he helps his team in ways that cant be measured.

Good closer: Trevor Hoffman, Dennis Eckersley, Lee Smith,Billy Wagner, Francisco Rodriguez, Hoyt Wilhelm

Bad closer: Mariano Rivera, Braden Looper

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

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Ok ok, I am so sorry to ask, but... Do you take the short bus to school? (No offense, if you actually do)

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.

looper hasnt been a closer since 2003

[metsguy234]

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...

[rockiesfan4ever]

Let me tell you a story:

One time this magical closer came in to pitch the 9th for his team against their hated rivals. He had a 2-1 lead with the bases loaded and 0 outs. He ended up getting out with out giving up a run. One of those outs was against a "Hall-Of-Famer".

You ruined my story

[koolzach1]

You kids are crazy... Varitek a HOF'er... psh...

[HoustonGM]

Good closer: Trevor Hoffman, Dennis Eckersley, Lee Smith,Billy Wagner, Francisco Rodriguez, Hoyt Wilhelm

Bad closer: Mariano Rivera, Braden Looper

LOL. LOL.

1) Varitek has more HR

There's much more to offense than home runs. Navarro beats Varitek by 70 points of OBP. That can't be made up for by 3 home runs. It's not even close. Navarro has been better than Varitek this year by a gigantic margin.

2) Varitek leads in all the intangible categories, as captain he helps his team in ways that cant be measured.

Since they are, by definition, not able to be measured, you cannot say that Varitek "leads" in them.

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.

.....Congratulations, you just described Derek Jeter.

Braden Looper with the Mets: 6-12, 142.2 IP, 38 BB, 87 K, 131 ERA+, 57 SV

Mariano Rivera's worst season, besides his rookie year: 3-4, 71.1 IP, 12 BB, 74 K, 142 ERA+, 30 SV

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.

I don't think that Jeter is gay, but maybe Jonathan Papelbon...
