I believe the only reason people thought Penney was decent was because of his LA stats. Playing in a pitcher friendly park made him look better than he really is/was. Big park, thick air...

What players do you guys think were (so far) the biggest surprise as a bust or as a gem this year?

Considering all the crap they went through in the offseason, Abreu and Dunn have both been huge this year.
Aaron Hill's been a nice surprise too. |

Russell Branyan has been a gem.
and I doubt anyone on the planet expected Brandon Webb to make just one start. Epic bust. |

Reyes was a bust. Quentin, and Lidge also. Oh and Millege. Wonder if Millege will ever doanything?

Tommy Hanson has looked superb. Don't think he'll get ROTY but I think he is very deserving.

Jason Giambi signs with the Rox. One last chance for him, I guess.

Logged on today to see the Mets lost with the game ending on an unassisted triple play. Fucking ridiculous.
And right underneath that is an article saying Omar is 100% back next year. I figured they'd write off the year due to injuries and would be unwilling to cut him since they stupidly gave him an extension after last year...was kinda hoping they'd make him more of a co-GM though. |
