Dusty Brown ON FIRE in the Dominican Winter Leagues.
Dipre replied to Dipre's topic in Red Sox Minor League Talk
Defense is solid, BA flukish, i will give you that, but SLG% is usually not affected by BA, and no one expects Dusty to hit for much BA anyways, and his power and defense are real, and IMMHO, that's more than what you need from a bottom of the order hitter. Bottom line is, he wouldn't embarass himself batting 8th in the order, and that, coupled with his outstanding defense is indication enough that he could at least hold down the fort if needed until a marquee name or uber-prospect is acquired. -
Not to mention he's cheaper and healthier than the Ben Sheets and AJ Burnetts of the world.

Sometimes, the truth needs to be spoken, sir. Except for the last quote, it was a viable way to voice his opinion.
-
Not too mention he's been a pretty healthy, durable guy......always a concern with pitchers.

I'm still poor :dunno:
-
Yeah that guy's from here, and he's known to deliver "exclusives" like which sometimes end up not being true. I'd advise waiting for another, more reliable source.

Dusty Brown ON FIRE in the Dominican Winter Leagues.

Strawman I haven't said Brown is the next Varitek, i simply stated that he could be a late bloomer, which is why i mentioned Varitek, because he became an above-average regular at a technically old age. Strawman I haven't said i don't want Salty or Teagarden or whatever young catcher in the Sox, i just said that if they end up costing too much, a 'Tek, Brown platoon will not embarass itself in the lower part of the order. In fact, i have specifically advocated for the Sox acquiring Salty, and that, my friend, unlike any of the gibberish you keep posting here, is a fact. It is also known that sometimes catchers take a long time to develop, and that's the only reason why i mentioned Varitek, because he wasn't an absolute superstar by the time he was 25, like, say, Joe Mauer, but i suppose it's easier for you to be annoying, use strawman arguments, and give a bad name to concise, smart yankee fans everywhere. -

So you don't think Brown can produce an offensive season near Varitek's first full season, well how do you know that? Through extensive research of his statistics? Or just being a lame-o and coming here to thrash the guy 'cause you wanna be an annoying prick? And btw, FIGHTING for s starting role would be correct, which means he was not regarded a starting catcher at the time and had to earn it. Anyways, why don't you just: http://elriowiel.files.wordpress.com/2007/09/stfu-51136.jpg -

Dipre replied to Dipre's topic in Red Sox Minor League Talk
But we're talking about late bloomers, and 'Tek didn't earn his starting spot until age '26, the reasons are irrelevant, but the fact is that Varitek didn't become an offensive and defensive star unti 2000, or age 28, so i don't get what's your point, meddling yankee fan, because if a catcher becomes a star at age 28, that, is a late bloomer isn't it? Don't you have people to annoy in your yankee forum so you can stop boring me with your ********? -
I loooooove Strikeouts

Nope, he was drafted in 1993, played in an independent league, THEN signed with Seattle nearly 2 years later. Get your facts right or: http://keyth.files.wordpress.com/2008/05/stfu_yoda.jpg -
"Full body throwing motion" they call it.... Because he uses his whole body in perfect balance while pitching, and even though that delivery seems pretty harsh, it's actually pretty smooth and he repeats it pretty consistently. However, my problem with Lincecum is the amount of punishment he subjects his elbow to while generating torque to throw his breaking ball..... But hey, i'm no pitching coach.....
-
IMHO, Lincecum's a TJ candidate in the next couple season for sure.........

*Sigh* Why is it so difficult to understand that the only chance FO has at Tex is by getting rid of Lowell?? I can understand the reasons for the man-crush with Tex that some people have, but come on...... At least let Ortiz start swinging a bat before jumping to the "oh noez,da power iz gone!!11!!", panic once again. Ortiz says it doesn't need surgery, but you can be damn sure that if FO thought he needed it, he'd be talking about going under the knife. So let's chill out and let the big man do his thing.

Neither did Juan Marichal, both first-ballot HOFers, lol.
-
The "Year-after" effect,huh? I see, it makes sense........
-
Good point, Nats's pitching was like the Padres's hitting last year......lessons in futility, but i do see Willingham hitting 25+ homers now that he's out of "Hitter's Nightmare" stadium.
-
-
I see Olsen blowing up in the Nat's hands, his velocity was down last year, and he gave up bombs at a Milton rate in the savannah that the Marlins play in. In that new, more neutral ballpark, i see him giving up more than 30 bombs easy..... But that's just my humble opinion.
