My Jets Wishlist: Taylor Mays

Taylor Mays is staying at USC. Why? I guess he doesn't like money? Or maybe he just gets rotational BJs from the cheerleading squad? One way or another it looks like he has as much chance of being a Jet in 2009 as does Lebron wearing Green and White.

It's the offseason so it's time to focus on players I want, that will once again give me the hope that will at some point eventually be shattered.

Abram Elam stepped into the starting Safety position this year, and while he made some big plays he certainly isn't an intimidating force. The Jets really need someone in the secondary that can lay on some huge hits and that's where Taylor Mays could potentially come in. Take a look at some of this wonderous hit.



In addition Mays is 6-3 230 pounds of pure muscle with a sub 4.40 40 time and was the 3 time 100 yard dash winner in Washington.

Taylor Mays would look pretty in Green.


Put Taylor on the 2010 Wish List.

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...

Numbers On Steroids: Mickey Mantle

Numbers on Steroids is a look at baseball players during the 90s to see if anything screams out at you. This week it's throwing a curve ball and looking at All Time Great Yankees. Players that we know did not take steroids to see if this gives a defense to any of the players 'convicted' by Numbers on Steroids. Time to look at my dad's favorite athlete of all time, Mickey Mantle. Averages Say: What's with the mysterious dip at 27 and then the uptick? At Bats Per Home Run Says: That's a mighty jump from 22 to 24 Explaining As If It Was the 90s If you take a look at the numbers there are two time frames which in the 1990s would be questioned. First would be the incredible leap he took from his first year in the big leagues to his first MVP season in 1956. His batting average jumped 50 points. His slugging percentage jumped 90 points and he hit 15 more homers than his previous high. This wouldn't merrit a conviction nowadays though because the young age he...
