Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
Absolutely nothing??? Come on Dom. While he hasn't won anything...he has been an All Star caliber third baseman and a stellar member for the Mets, both in the clubhouse and in the community. While his numbers aren't HOF material, he is a damn fine ballplayer and an even better guy. And he's old school in that he plays the game the right way. Is he ever gonna have Jeter's rings or numbers? NO...but then again he's never had a supporting cast like Jeter. But that doesn't mean he has done absolutely nothing.
Stats for 7 1/2 years in the big leagues...while not HOF matieral, but I'd take him over any Yankee third baseman (except maybe for Nettles who had a better glove, but didn't hit much).
1199 Games, 4507 At Bats, 761 Runs, 1367 Hits, 2310 Total Bases, 311 2B, 19 3B, 198 HR, 792 RBI, 591 BB, 956 SO, 161 SB, 52CS, .303 AVG, .384 OBP, . 513 SLG
