All good valid points guy and Jill....
Hanley is beyond a head case. Any team signing him are in for a huge head case let down....
Recall earlier this season, here in L.A.: On a strike 3 passed ball, Hanley did not so much as take a step towards 1st base, he simply turned around and walked back to the dugout....
During a shift, with Hanley but 5 feet directly behind 2nd base, a hard ground ball was hit to Dee Gordon at 2nd, Dee fields the ball cleanly, turns towards 2nd, his arm already in motion, to side arm the ball to Ramirez, to turn 2. While Ramirez was 100% not in the game mentally. Ramirez never covered 2nd at all, he was staring into the stands, and might of well been picking his nose. He was that far removed from being in the game.
Hanley was caught on Video, with Puigy, both goofing off in front of the camera, while screwing around with a TV Gamer reporter, who stood on the top step of the dugout.....
Hanley, IMO, takes more time off, on the DL. Yet, He's not disabled, rather- Ramirez is one of those guys, who won't show up to work, other than when HE wants too. No Team deserves this type of a once very good talent, who has began his demise, from the moment he left FLA.....
HR can carry a team for long periods of time, with his bat, but really not since 2009. He had brief moments in 013 with his bat, but played in 82 games in 2009: 82 Games: 20 HR / 105 Hits / 57 RBI's / .345 B'Avg/
HR had very good years, from 2006 ROY, to 2009. In 2010 HR played in 142 games, and since then his average over six years, from 010 to 014, HR has averaged playing in only 100 games....pretty shoddy, for a guy who seems to be injured most of the time, or is merely fkng off, not wanting to play anymore than he has too.....
HR is the epitome of a person, who does as little as possible on the job, yet bitches and complains he's not making enough money. Do as little as possible, for as much money as you can. MLB owes HR nothing.....Honestly this is a time when Owners Collusion is necessary, to keep HR out of MLB, or send him back to AA Minor Lgs.
And Yes- Fans pay $25 to park, $75 to $300 for the best field level seats, $50 for 2 Hot Dogs, 2 Sodas, and 2 bags of Peanuts, = a minimum of $150-375$, just to watch Hanely not run out a passed ball............WTF
