Maybe Jason Giambi without looking at the stats and considering at this point in his career. Giambi is aging and cant do it every day anymore and has prolonged his career as a pinch hitter and thrived... Konerko either had a bad season as a fluke or is in the same boat as Giambi was after his 2013 season.Daniel Burchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04212584396848733519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-17819514506210269782013-10-19T12:36:03.975-04:002013-10-19T12:36:03.975-04:00Yeah, I saw that. I was just saying I agree.
BTW...Yeah, I saw that. I was just saying I agree. <br /><br />BTW, some players don't do well playing part time. Paul has been a starter for the last 15 years.

People keep citing Ibanez when it comes to those things, and it kills me that they do so. Apparently his postseason heroics completely disguises the fact that he's been worth 1 win over the past two years... combined. His two-year triple-slash is .241/.307/.471. That sucks. Unless the bases are loaded in each of his 20 or so home runs, then he's not somebody I want around.Bryan Van Dusenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02868262676393608086noreply@blogger.com
