Pitchers always have the advantage over the hitters at first. lets ee how he does after a few go arounds...but yeah, he looks really good right now.

The Rangers, I was speaking of the Rangers. Pudge, Incaviglia, Palmeiro, they (along with oakland) pretty much did.

Ah, gotcha. I thought maybe you were talking about The A's with the Bash brothers and all...Then again, all teams were juicing...may still be. Some of the numbers Rangers are putting up is insane. Kemp for that matter too. I wouldnt be surprised.

*shrug* Kemp's always had ridiculous talent, he should've been the NL MVP last year regardless of the fact that we know Braun was juicing because his numbers were just straight up better and he had nobody producing around him.

Yeah, Kemp has been pretty good for the last few years. He's just now not free swinging and learned how to take a pitch. He's much much more patient at the plate.

He got screwed out of MVP last year. He had NO ONE around him and he still put up triple crown type numbers. Either was hurt alot of last year and was playing on a bad wheel.

Agreed. He should of been MVP last year. Just saying, his numbers are ridiculous, like 60 HR ridiculous. Thats juice numbers, not saying he's juicing, just saying we havent seen that kind of shit since the MLB got a handle on juicing

I think the ballpark the Rangers play in factors into their numbers as well,but all of their players who came there from other teams (Napoli, Cruz, Hamilton, Beltre) have always been able to hit.

True, but I can tell you napoli never hit like that for the Angels. Yes, he hit HRs but he is in a different demension now. I think that has more to do with comfort and a different hitting coach. I hate our hitting coach. Mickey Hatcher sucks.

Napoli may be the biggest beneficiary of the ballpark.

Albert certainly agrees with you about Mickey Hatcher I imagine. He's pissy about Hatcher talking about him with the media about team stuff.
