I hate to say this and I do wish him well but I think it is almost a given he will rebound now UGGG Atleast he is gone.

He HAS to improve from last season. But I don't think he'll ever revert to his former self. Especially since pre-Mets he was probably a roids guy. NO other explanation for his 3 year debacle here in NY.

Fair or unfair, I will be severely pissed if he rebounds in any substantial way

id be happy for him. but p!ssed because hes doing it on the mets dime.much the same way alot of yankee fans i know i hated carl pavano for a while.

well big difference between Fenway and Citi but I hear ya.

AGreed.

I think there's a decent chance he rebounds.

He played too well in Pitts and Boston to think his career's over at this point. Maybe it was Citi Field; maybe it was the pressure of the big contract and NY.

A team like Baltimore might be a good place or Texas, etc.

AGreed he needs to be in a hitter friendly park, I think Citi messed with his head so much he just could not hit even when on the road.

I think he and Ed Whitsin should start up a web based shopping network...they could call it edBay

there IS a big difference between Fenway and CF but this was more than just about the parks. If his hrs went down to 20-25 but still maintained a .270 or so avg, then yea I'd say it was the park factor.

If Bay can rebound perhaps he should try out for an NBA team. They're always looking for good rebounders.

not to sound jerky but i dont want this dude returning to allstar form while gettin paid 1 million from the mariners and 21 million from us.

The best I can see is him returning to 2010 form, which isn't very good, but at least better than last year.

I doubt Bay does anything great in Seattle. Tough park to hit in. Bad lineup with not much support around him. Sound familiar?

I dont think it is so much about Park factors as the park just got into his head causing him to change his swing and approach which carried over to the road.

HA HA

I hear that.

You could be right about that.

Fair enough
