| 2012-04-23 14:00:00 (link to chat) | Brandon Belt comp at his career peak? (Karl from Chicago) | I'm so not the guy to answer this question. So on that basis I'll go with part John Olerud, part Babe Dahlgren, and part sad clown. I'll let you pick which parts. (Matthew Kory) |
| 2010-06-15 13:00:00 (link to chat) | Speaking of Teixeira, what the heck's going on? Why aren't people talking about it?
Can you imagine the Yankaroos with a productive Tex? (Zebs335 from Boston) | All I know is that the 1939 Yankees were somehow one of the greatest teams of all time with Babe Dahlgren playing first and hitting .235/.312/.377. That said, Teixeira has hit .274/.370/.457 since April, which isn't great but is on the right track. I'm not terribly worried about him. (Steven Goldman) |
| 2008-03-14 13:00:00 (link to chat) | In your first, and very moving, article at BP (yes, I should have asked you this 4 years ago) you wrote:
"There's Joe McCarthy, a manager who never ripped a player in public...until the day he did."
I've always wondered who that player was. This can't be Babe Dahlgren is it?
(JimmyJack from Newcastle, WA) | No... It was Joe Page, future ace reliever. He had great stuff but was highly undisciplined off the field. Jerry Coleman told me he was self-destructive, a guy who couldn't let himself succeed. Later, of course, he had a couple of Cy Young-type years as the Yankees' fireman (closer would be the wrong word), but at that time he was still a starter, and failing. McCarthy was under a lot of pressure - drinking, dealing with wartime ballplayers, dealing with Larry MacPhail, who himself was a highly erratic personality due to alcohol, and something about Page just made him snap. While the team was waiting for a flight to take off (and McCarthy didn't like flying either - that was a MacPhail thing), McCarthy sat down next to Page and tore into him in front of the whole team. McCarthy resigned the next day. (Steven Goldman) |
| 2008-02-27 13:00:00 (link to chat) | The Yankees still need a first baseman. When do we get news of a Jim Spencer comeback? Where have you gone, Danny Cater? (Domina Editrix from Dark Corners of the Mind) | My money is on Babe Dahlgren. Anyway, this is something they can play with for a couple of months and then try a patch in season. If Giambi can't do it (and I'm skeptical), platooning Betemit and Duncan or Ensberg should at least be league average. (Steven Goldman) |
