    ^I remember having a similar argument last year (on my way to the Finals, from here on out known as "the bottom" per a700hitter) and being told that a player's draft position and past history are important factors in trades.

    Yeah i sure was at the bottom of the heap playing in the finals last year :harhar: You sure didn't make it. I think you can't quite difference top from bottom. Old age problems i guess.

    No seriously, welcome back.

    I should have added the caveat "in what i've seen of him". But just like i was wrong in suggesting that, you're wrong in suggesting that 2% LD rate is a big deal with a sample size that small. Let's agree on that and move on. Oh, and glad to have you back Dutch.

    Not with a sample of this size it isn't.

    Interestingly enough, Gomes's best years have come in seasons with LD% lower than his career averages. I guess he's at his best when he's hitting more flyballs.

    The league average is right around 19%. Well below average is not the correct phrase here.

    All of that good contact is bound to start paying off for Gomes. That .220 BABIP will normalize eventually. He's hitting tons of line drives so expecting such a normalization is not crazy.

    Top-10 player for a no-name SS riding a hot streak and a journeyman pitcher? Yeah, how about no.
  11. User Name
    That trade should definitely be vetoed.

    Pedroia has publicly stated he does not like hitting lead-off, and his numbers reflect that.
  13. User Name
    How does that make sense? He started the season hitting cleanup. And he's not doing so right because, frankly, Ortiz is a better overall hitter. If they drop Ellsbury from the leadoff spot, Ortiz should hit third, and Napoli cleanup. It's a no-brainer.

    You mean like most power hitters, who usually hit clean-up in their respective teams?

    Andrew Miller: 1.2 IP, 0 H, 0 BB, 3K Which is more unlikely?

    They fear Drew
  17. User Name
    Whoa, Willie can bunt too. Good stuff!
  18. User Name
    They fear Papi

    What the hell are you talking about? There's no rationalizing. That is literally what's normal in any hitter. Hitters will pull the ball or hit it up the middle more than they go the other way. Look at the spray chart: http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/player/will-middlebrooks/hitchart/1332595?q=will-middlebrooks He hits the ball everywhere. Like Standing Room posted in the other thread, you're quite simply wrong about this, and you're the one who's been rationalizing with armchair scouting for the past week about the subject.

    I already looked at his spray chart. I've seen the hot zones. It's normal for a RHH to have better numbers on pitches in the middle and inner half, specially playing half his games at Fenway. But he has decent numbers (specially power numbers with several HR's and XBH) middle and upper-away.

    Damn Miller has been looking good as of late
  22. User Name
    And in his limited time in the bigs, he's hit to the opposite field with power, just like he has throughout his entire time in the minors.
  23. User Name
    Riiiiight....so those charts Standing Room linked you to in the other thread are fake? Also, nobody is comparing him to Pedey. The point is you're flat out wrong for stating he can't handle pitches in the outer third of the plate. He's susceptible to a specific pitch, (slider away) but you can't go out and throw a massive generalization saying he can't handle pitches in the outer third and should lay off of them. That is nonsense.

    jung, i'm sorry, but you don't know what you're talking about in this instance, and i mean no disrespect. Every scouting report on WMB raves about his ability to hit the ball out of the park to all fields . You can't come here and tell me that all the scouting reports are wrong and he can't turn on stuff outside. Other posters have debated you on this point, showed you spray charts and hit charts, and they all show the same thing: Although susceptible to breaking balls low and outside, WMB can turn on stuff in the outer half of the zone and send it to RF with power. You are plain wrong about this.
