He has less than 150 post season at bats, that's a hilariously small sample size.Worst post-season player I have ever seen in my life, and has the attitude to go with it.

Sure if you ignore his huge man tits hanging half way down his chest.This doesn't look like the body of an obese dude
...I can sure you there isn't an athletic bone in his body.
For post season play? That's way more than most will ever see, it's not a small sample size at all.He has less than 150 post season at bats, that's a hilariously small sample size.
Hitting a ball isn't athletic. He can do that, what he does after that is what is athletic. Which isn't much.

No just the hyperbolic retardedness.I think he was calling into question your mastery of the english language
no hyperbole, I like Prince but to say he has been anything but a disappointment the past few years would be a lie. I also acknowledged he will hit more homeruns in Texas. Also he's fat and unathletic and vastly overpaid.No just the hyperbolic retardedness.
It has been shown time and time again that 'protection theory' is a myth and there is no evidence to support it. There have been numerous studies and there's been no link found between the performance of a batter and quality of the player hitting behind him. And it never made sense to begin with, forget the numbers, and just think about it for a second:Who's gonna be batting in front of Prince, and how hard did he thank God?
The Problem With The Protection Theory | U.S.S. MarinerSeriously, here's the basic theory - if there's a good hitter on deck, pitchers will want to avoid pitching to that guy with a runner on base, so they'll throw more strikes in order to avoid walks. These strikes are apparently meatballs, and because the batter in front of the feared hitter is now getting good pitches to hit, he'll get more hits and get on base more often. The theory demands the pitchers actually pitch in such a way that they fail at the original stated goal, which is to avoid pitching to good hitters with runners on base. Apparently, we're supposed to believe that pitchers are dumb enough to not notice that this suboptimal pitching strategy allows the guy in front of the good hitter to get more hits, as they just continue pounding fastballs in the strike zone that Mediocre Hitter X can whack.
With just a few exceptions, pitchers are not dumb. If they can get Chone Figgins (or whoever) to hit .230 by pitching him the way they are now, sans home run hitter behind him, they're not going to suddenly start pitching him in a way that will let him hit .280. That's counterproductive to their entire goal. If the protection theory was legitimate, and pitchers did indeed throw meatballs to guys batting in front of big sluggers, they would quickly figure out that this wasn't a very good idea, and that they would be better off pitching each hitter in a way that gives them the absolute best chance of getting that guy out, regardless of who is on deck. Which is exactly what they do.
Totally agree. Pretty clear from that contract that they have no intention of staying under that 189 million threshold.That contract doesn't really make sense for the Yankees. They're aging and need to fill several holes.
