JJ HARDY RUMORS & GOSSIP

Hardy answered questions about the additions to the roster for Spring Training, his life this offseason versus what happened to him last year, outlook for the season and several other items. Here are some quotes and notes I was able to pick up from him. About the moves and acquisitions...

Player Profile #125: J.J. Hardy | SS | BAL
After two down seasons, J.J. Hardy was left for dead after many drafts last year. I’m sure he took offense to that and that is why he had one of his best seasons of his career. His 30 home runs weren’t only a career high, but they were also tied for the lead among shortstops (Troy Tulowitzki) in 2011. Power is the name of Hardy’s game and it seems like he likes hitting in...

It took...

Andy MacPhail's Christmas Gift to Baltimore
The Orioles have plenty of holes to fill this offseason and seemingly every offseason. But there is one critical position that they do not have to fill. Shortstop.You could make the argument that the rarest commodity in the free agent market this season is a shortstop who can hit and field his position well. (OK, good all-around catchers and starting pitching is probably a rarer...

J.J. Hardy Player Projection No. 110
Key Stats: No shortstop had more home runs than J.J. Hardy's 30 last season. Troy Tulowitzki had as many home runs, but also had 39 more plate appearances. The way Hardy got to 30 was impressive as he was consistent in the months of June, July, and August with 7 or more home runs in each month. He missed most of April, but finished healthy which means last year could have actually...

Baltimore Orioles: Interesting case study
The Baltimore Orioles and the Tampa Rays are an interesting study of two teams that went in the opposite direction of where they were supposed to go this year. Prior to the season I, along with many other people, predicted that the O’s would take a step forward in 2011, with Tampa taking a step back. In the off season Tampa lost Carl Crawford, Carlos Pena, and Rafael Soriano to...

Changes have made JJ Hardy a powerhouse once again
At the end of
2009, JJ Hardy was an offensive mess.
His overall
numbers were bad but his power production had almost evaporated. He had gone
from a hitter who had hit 50 home runs from 2007-2008 to one who hit 11. Unable
to figure neither his problem out nor willing to pay his escalating salary, the
Brewers shipped in to Minnesota...

O’s Extend J.J. Hardy for Three Years
In a related story, J.J. Hardy has been committed to a mental institution.
Why a guy with Hardy’s skills, who could have tested the free agent waters after the season and likely signed a very lucrative contract with a team that has a chance to win this century would re-up with the Baltimore Orioles organization has me seriously questioning the guy’s sanity.
Regardless...

J.J. Hardy, the Trade Deadline & Merits of Him Staying an Oriole
The second half of the season starts for the Baltimore Orioles on Thursday. So far, it’s pretty obvious that 2011 in Birdland will more than likely be a big letdown start unless they can find some magic. That may be hard to find. Despite the struggles of the Orioles and possibilities heading into the trading period, there’s one man who has been receiving a lot of attention...

J. J. Hardy Har Har
J. J. Hardy puzzles this writer. And perhaps this writer isn't alone. The shortstop has been jettisoned by the Brewers and the Twins in the past couple of seasons and the feeling seems to be that he wore out his welcome in both places. But this writer wasn't alone in questioning the Twins' decision to get rid of Hardy after the 2010 season. His injury history is puzzling. Is he soft...
