Numbers On Steroids: Jay Gibbons

Numbers on Steroids is a look at baseball players during the 90s to see if anything screams out at you.

Todays as good as any day to talk Jay Gibbons. Why? He just got cut.

Averages Say: 2005 Was his best year.
At Bats Per Home Run Says: Up Down Up

Explaining It Away

Gibbons came in as a 25 year old rookie played in 73 games and had some decent numbers. He looked like he might have some potential. Over the next few years his average and obp started to increas while his slugging fell. In 2004 Gibbons was sapped of all his power which could be attributed to injury right? He only played in 97 games. The next year he had his best season with his best career ba, obp and slugging % but the fall off would come steadily over the next two seasons.

The Verdict

Jay Gibbons never really jumped to all star level and I bet maybe three people read this sentence because no one cares about Jay Gibbons careeer, but a las he fell in the Mitchell Report and popped in my head so I wanted to take a peak. His numbers don't really scream at you, but the 2004 fall off is questionable. His pick up in production the next two years kind of squelches that or suggests that he started using HGH and perhaps something undetectable instead.

Well He Did Get Some HGH So...

Lou Holtz is the Homer / Annoyingly Delusional

As my buddy Joe and I always joke, if Notre Dame was suiting up against an all Jesus team, aka a team made up of 55 Sons of God, Lou Holtz would probably still pick Notre Dame to win by a touchdown. So of course this weekend when I'm watching Sportscenter and they have him and fellow old man Corso making predictions, Lou picks ND to beat Michigan. Not that big of a deal, Michigan is a big question mark this year, but of course than Lou says that Notre Dame will win 11 games this year. This is the same Notre Dame that lost to a service academy last year. And just when you thought the douchy homerism was going to end ESPN asks which BCS school is going to be the biggest surprise team in the country. Any guesses to whom it was? I'll give you a clue it was another team he coached. If you guessed South Carolina you would be a winner. Next up on Lou's prediction watch, the Jets win the Superbowl, NC St. wins the ACC, Arkansas dominates the SEC West, Minnesota wins the Big

Ranking the New York Jets Historical Helmets

There's no way you can't go with the Helmet they won the Super Bowl in. You just can't. Next, I really don't understand why they don't where the helmet with the Jet as their throwback uniforms. That helmet is awesome. Then I'm going with the Helmets from the 80s because it's the classic feel and the white face mask is 10 times better than the black one. And the rankings continue until you get to... The Titans Helmet. I hate everything about those Titan uniforms. The Helmets are boring and the colors are GOD awful. Navy blue and Mustard? What the hell is that. Disgusting. If they wore those unis when I was a kid I'd probably be a Giant fan, and be much happier with my life in football.
