Being named Kristin is Bad for Your Shoulder

Kristin (Kris) Benson, wife I mean husband of Anna Benson is done for the year with a torn rotator cuff. This could have come from said "offseason" throwing regimate or perhaps it came fending off all of the pimps attempting to employ his tramp of a wife.

Have you ever met a guy named Kristin before? Is it pronounced like Christian or like the gals name Kristen? How long did it take him as a kid to assume the nickname Kris, weeks, days or minutes of ridicule? And does having a feminine name as a guy makes you more of an injury risk. I mean he has needed Tommy John and now a torn rotator cuff? Drew, kind of an ambiguous name, had a torn rotator cuff and labrum last season and dislocated his elbow during the pro bowl. Coincidence or the fault of their parents? Hmm...

Now it looks as if the Orioles might have to look into the services of Steve "The Trashbag" Trachsel. Or bring up some pitcher who isn't ready to compete in the AL east. It really doesn't seem fare for the O's who consistently have pitching problems to lose a guy before he even threw a single pitch in Spring Training, but as a merciless Yankee fan... Well atleast they can take solice in the fact that they really had no chance of being better than the Sox, Yanks or Jays anyway.

Numbers On Steroids: Bret Boone

Numbers on Steroids is a look at baseball players during the 90s to see if anything screams out at you. Mr. Boone was once the best power hitting second baseman in the league. How questionable was his success? Averages Say: Why the extra plateu in his mid 30s? At Bats Per Home Run Says: Lowest at Bats Per Home Runs at 37? Hmm.... Explaining It Away Yeak, this one is tough. Umm, late bloomer? He showed potential power early in his career and he just liked playing in Seattle a lot more than everywhere else? And umm, his career was kind of like a running backs in that it just all of a sudden fell off the map? Any of these convincing you? The Verdict Guy never hits more than 24 home runs in a season and then in his age 32 season he hits 37? And in SafeCo a pitchers park to boot? And he follows that up with 24, 35, 24 homer years still at SafeCo? And then he completely falls off the map in 2005 never to be heard from again? We've got a Screamer... Man Get Big Muscles In 30s. Hm...
