but htose 'clutch' performancs are no different than someone like Brennan Bosch..

looked like a sure fire perenial ASG if you look at 2 half seasons his first 2 years... once luck was rmeoved with a suitable sample, his true colors were obvious...

count me as one of the ones that jumped on his bandwagon too soon.. even after 2 years i still thought he'd be awesome.. then.. nope!

there's value in speculating early and taking that chance, but it's still frought with dangers.

kirk gibson was htting off one leg.. even he will admit it was pure luck, lol. btw, kirk gibson was a childhood baseball hero of mine and totally crushed when detroit didn't resign him... monaghan!! you bas%#rd! cheap loser with terrible pizza! (ugh little caesars falls under tha tcategory too,lol)

if he played his entire career with the same ~ability as he had in that context in that 1 ab.. he'd be terrible. no one can play with a bum leg. 99.9999% of the time Lasorda is going to look like a fool putting him in durign that AB (i don't recall who he replaced.. if they were a really crappy hitter, maybe not so - you'd take a bum leg on a slugger etc since you need a hr and not a single, if that is the context)

it's like going to vegas and betting against the odds.. 1 result is meaningless.

OR - and this is for syd only, if religious stop reading immediately...
