trutrojan8 Posted July 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 (edited) They are substantially different, but does it make him a bad player that he batted nearly .400 at home... TWICE?? Absolutely not. Edited July 24, 2009 by trutrojan8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastCoastNiner Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 They are substantially different, but does it make him a bad player that he batted nearly .400 at home... TWICE?? Absolutely not. And, almost batter under .250 twice, and did it one of the times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trutrojan8 Posted July 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 And, almost batter under .250 twice, and did it one of the times.If he can hit better at his home park, then more power to him. If he bats for nearly .400 in back to back seasons at home, then that's good for him. Who cares if he hits in a hitter's park? He's a great batter regardless.

Diesel Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 omg Pujols is batting .304 on the road, he [expletive]ing sucks.A-Rod is batting under .300 on the road, he sucksBerkman is way under .300, he should be in AAAMiguel Cabrera is under .300, he sucks Helton isn't batting .300 for his CAREER on the road. Regardless of where you play, batting .300 at anytime in your career is great. Doing it your entire career is even better. Never said he sucked. It's just a joke to put Helton in a class with Ruth, Gehrig, etc. He isn't even in a league with the best stars of today's game. Guys like Pujols and A-Rod win SilverSluggers, Gold Gloves, MVPs. and dominate no matter what park they play in. You can't say the same about "Todd Helton" lmao Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastCoastNiner Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 Five time all-star, four time silver slugger, and three time gold glove. With those stats, I would have expected him to make more than 5 All-Star Games, but I guess people realize the effect Coors Field has on players.

EastCoastNiner Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 I think Todd Helton is a good player, but I just don't put him in the same class as Albert Pujols, Manny Ramirez, A-Rod, and other great players, regardless of steroid use. Alright, these are the following stats for a certain player, whose team I will not tell you, and I want you to tell me if his batting average is not SUBSTANTIALLY higher at home than on the road. 2004: Home: .338 Away: .240 2005: Home: .357 Away: .256 2006: Home: .373 Away: .280 2007: Home: .376 Away: .301 2008: Home: .332 Away: .308 I'm sure someone can do some research and find out who this player is, but these batting averages for when this player plays at home and on the road are SUBSTANTIALLY different. Tell me if you disagree, but I doubt you will. BTW, this is none other than........another product of Coors Field.......Matt Holliday. .

EastCoastNiner Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 http://espn.go.com/mlb/players/stats?playerId=2026 Seriously, do you need any more evidence that Coors Field drastically inflates players stats? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
