Future HOFer

Now he’ll be the second coming of Dustin Pedroia

Only if Denker calls Woodland a “dump.”

Around SB Nation

“80% of San Diego Padres are Overweight”

Apparently, this comes up because the article calculates that Denker is obese according to BMI.

Don't even get me started on the BMI

It’s a complete sham and a farce as is any “statistic” derived from it.

There is no way David Eckstein is 175lbs. At 5-7 he’d look more like Pablo (or the incredible hulk) if he did. I’d say he’s 155 tops.

WTF?

At this point, the only logical conclusion is that Travis Denker is a reverse vampire.

Do you just sit around and think about stuff?

And the 0-2 pitch…Hedrick throws….

Ground ball to second! This should do it! Denker picks it up, throws to first to get Posey, and the Red Sox win the World Series for the fifth season in a row! The Red Sox have done it!

You should be flogged

Just for thinking that.

We would have won that Series if Sabean hadn’t given Renteria a six-year extension.

I blame Skeels. He just kept bringing in Zito for those late innings.

Fixed

We would have won that Series if Bonifay hadn’t given Latroy Hawkins a six-year extension.

bold prediction

Their winning % after signing denker will be over .200 points higher than before he was signed.

I kinda feel bad for the guy

he deserves a shot at being able to play everyday. Behind Pedroia I don’t see that happening.

Unless… around the trade deadline the Giants trade Winn to the Sox for Denker and a handful of other prospects. Sadly, I could see this happening. That must have been Sabes’ plan since day one.
