I simply don't get the fascination with Morse. He hasn't been consistently healthy or productive at any point in his career, he's a butcher at every position he plays, and a suspected doper to boot.
I wouldn't be surprised if the book contradicted a lot of what some of the "know-it-all" fans are always spouting about the FO and the inner workings of the Red Sox even though they have no actual knowledge about how things work, or why they do the things they do.
This line is a massive bit of assumption. How do you measure the fact that he had the talent to hit in the majors? Everyone with prospect status should be able to, but a lot of the times idoesn't translate. That's what the word prospect signifies
Not in the Minors, yes in the Majors, which is the only reason we're having this conversation in the first place. If they're going to convert him to a 1B/OF without calling him up to the Majors, the chance of wrecking him mentally or damaging his stat sheet decreases dramatically.
My real problem with it is what it could do to mess Brentz up. It's a very real possibility that combining an early callup with a position change could be a recipe for disaster and wreck the kid. But then again, that's just me.
Ah, the victim card.....admirable, but mistaken.
Also, i've actually been to Brooklyn, and i absolutely despise NY.
As for Brentz, something went terribly wrong if he sees an inning at 1B for the Red Sox in 2013. Let's hope he doesn't.
Don't quite understand satire either, do ya Fred?
Also, no way Brentz is ready to contribute to start the season in his natural position, let alone first base.
Also, reading comprehension. It's incredible how someone who toots their own horn so much about being so smart can not understand under any circumstances what he reads. Oh, and the whining. There's that too.
I'm warning up to the idea of Gomez just to piss you off because you're such an insufferable whiney douche. Any idea where I can buy a Mauro Gomez Jersey?
Fair enough.
Also, if you went ahead and checked the website, have a quick look at the advanced numbers:
.361 BABIP vs RHP, .263 BABIP vs LHP. That may help explain the anomaly.
By the way, did some digging to refute your "all data we have comment". Minorleaguecentral has available split statistics for minor leaguers.
In almost 1,000 PA's in MILB between '11 and '12, Gomez OPS'd .999 vs lefties, and .877 vs righties. His reverse split at the MLB level is almost certainly a statistical anomaly fueled by the SSS

It doesn't matter whether you mentioned it or not. It's a non-point. Your affirmation that we need a "RHH with traditional platoon split" reaffirms the notion that you actually that those 102 PA's are indicative of a trend in Gomez' stats. They're not.
Fred doesn't seem to understand simple concepts like this. He's too busy applying his flawed "all-or-nothing" mindset to other people's thought processes, like he actually knew what others are thinking.
