I have more than BA statistics. It's my own eyes watching Gonzo hit like he has been- doubles, homeruns, singles. Seen them all. It could just be a coincidence that my sight and BA coincide.

I actually prefer Pedroia at lead-off, but if Ells is there, I can't complain. Why is Nick Green in this lineup? I'd take Gonzo over him any day.
-
Your probably right, I just voted what I wanted to happen. I don't want to see him come back, but I have that feeling he's not finished yet. If Theo were smart, he'd let him go if he had the chance.
-
I know, but when the Yankees' success scares the heck out of Red Sox fans, you kind of start to understand not playing the Yanks.
-
Actually every batter in MLB makes an out about 60% (.600) or 70% (.700) each time. So I'm missing your point. That's why they have OBP around .300 and some at .400. Still more outs than getting on base. My point is, if you can take advantages of outs that aqre made 60% or 70% of the time to score runs, you are doing your job. Scoring runs is what comes first. But again, my point is irrelevant, because I've merely been mentioning how well Gonzo has been batting since he came here. I wasn't expecting him to be good as you've shown me, but he's been decent as a hitter. And because of that, he's been a great deal for us alongside his defensive ability. I would not mind keeping him if we had too.

Washburn is worse than Tim Wakefield who's also bad. Detroit is not a threat; still I hope they beat the Yanks in the first round. However, it's all a pipe dream because I doubt it happening.
-
The AL Central team has a very good chance of losing as soon as they get into the post season. It's just not a great division this year.
-
-
I think it's best to play laizzae fair the next couple of games, if we win go for division, if not, rest players. But getting home field advantage in the playoffs is a great thing. Either way, we're still in.
-
I'm the only one who said "Become a free agent". Well that's what I think should happen anyway.
-
True, it may be, but I can't disregard a .290 average for what it is, even with his low OBP.
-
Actually, I think trying to get Miguel Montero would be easier than Mauer. Maybe not only because he's young. But it's a good idea.
-
I know this very well actually. I just like the idea of small ball better. The point isn't to get hits, get on base, nor to make outs. The sole point is to get RUNS. You can do this several if executed correctly. Sure, OBP helps, but it's not my favorite means. Yet I still look at it from time to time. But Gonzo has been a good hitter even if his OBP disagrees.
-
All we can do is try. We certainly have a chance. Not a big one, but it's still there.
-
-
But that's the stat for a pitcher, not an individual batter.
-
I think it's safe to say the Yanks didn't think Dice-K would pan out to be one of the best pitchers. I'd have to agree. You can never tell with a foreign player. The Yanks can overpay us for any proven player that has already played in the Majors. We can still get Mauer, but I see him and Paps in a Yanks uniform very soon.
-
I don't believe in luck when it comes to BA, but that's just me. Still, I agree that OBP is still useful. But there's always the fact of getting on base and not scoring runs when they count. I don't think OBP is everything, but it can often be useful. I'm more of a small ball type guy.
-
Well, all I have to say is Gonzo has not stopped impressing me. I think he might cool off, let his average drop, but he's still batting well daily.
-
:thumbsup:
-
Well, they still have a great shot at the WC. Come post season anything can happen, they showed us that in 07 when they got to the WS with home field advantage against them in each round.
-
Francona isn't my favorite. I dislike some of the calls he makes. But we have won two WS championships in his name, so I can't really complain.
-
I don't care anymore. This is a guy who needs to be gone after this season. He can no longer throw guys out at the plate and he can't even be a personal catcher for Wake. He still calls a great game, but his negatives outweigh his positives.
-
I for one like batting average. I know there are other stats besides it, but batting average is still generally looked at in my eyes.
