ben revere is a flash in the pan. trade him now while his value is high. notice how the opposing outfielders are starting to play really shallow on him and catch some of his lazy line drive would be singles. he's only got enough to hit it over their head once a month.

no power, noodle arm, terrible on base percentage = bad

Revere is a flash in the pan? I dont see how you could make that assumption based his age and experience

"that guy" is not Mauer, that is for sure. The guy is 28 years old and plays and is treated like he's 40. When he plays 3 games in a row it is a surprise, give me a break he plays a game for 3 hours a day. Most legion baseball catchers are more durable than Mauer. He jogs out his uncountable number of infield grounders and plays the game very casually. When is the last time he got a double? One that was actually driven and not just a slap down the left field line? Not really special defensively as a catcher; sure he's good but pretty much all big league catchers are. Get him in a position that he can play every day and not be able to play the "beat up" card endlessly. $23 million for a guy that will get you 7-10 singles and 1 XBH a week. Rant over...

Well I agree with you he is a singles hitter, and that is it. I am starting to wonder if Thome could beat him in a foot race. Nice guy to have on the team but nothing a to much higher than an average player in my mind.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
