I hear your counters to my statements and i hope that you are right. It is still a disturbing trend. i hope that it changes. it seems like a very unusual trend but maybe it isn't.
-
For what it is worth (maybe not much) the only player last year who looked close to being physically ready to compete at the ml level was Moncada. To Benintendi's credit - he has always been able to hit- he did what he could do to get stronger, but the question i have is where are the legit power guys? There must be some of them out there and somebody must be drafting them.
-
When you are in the top 5 with respect to the number of hits you have and in the bottom 5 with respect to the number of runs that you have scored with respect to both leagues, what would be a logical conclusion? It might tell someone that it looks as though that as good as our players look athletically, we lack run producers.
-
A very bleak picture you paint here Max. There were a few of us that really did think that this team's run production would take a step backward without someone with consistent power to replace Papi. We have lots of guys who can hit it is just a matter of how many hits will it take us to produce runs. When you say that this team lacks the skills to essentially do anything baseball related, sounds like you think we must suck. Although outside of watching Sale pitch, I don't see too much that excites me, i still think there will be some competent baseball played. Is the picture really as bleak as what you think it is? I sure hope not.

he looks very slow almost sluggish around the bag
-
Not really arguing with you jad just love to see you spinning the words. rapier like wit - blunted on the stone of "your understanding" - my goodness . Don't hold back. lol
-
do he cubs ever hit singles like we do?
-
That goddam home run ball again.
-
They seem like solid young men. Looks to me like the more Vazquez is out there the more comfortable he gets. I kind of feel the same about Hernandez. happy for them both!
-
no need to bunt today the are busting it
-
I agree although I do have a special bias for Hernandez. i am surprised honestly though that he has looked that comfortable to date at third. When i saw him a few years ago in Portland he was playing short. i thought he looked very good but i guess I didn't see a potential third baseman there.
-
jad- what Hanley just did - that is what I mean by busting it. Hope that clears it up.
-
interesting concession. Nope - busting it would be when they all start hitting the home runs that people are so sure that they are going to hit. i think that it makes sense to just wait it out and not try anything different at all don't you?
-
Kimmi - Why did you think that i said you said anything at all about playing on a regular or part time basis? I don't remember you saying anything about playing time.
-
If a player played twice a week over the course of a full season, would you consider that a fair amount to qualify as a legit "sample size"? If you do, good. What I am saying is that he might look average at best playing twice a week even though to some that would be an adequate sample size to judge what his felding ability going forward might be. I don't. My sample size is all about playing daily on a regular basis. I think people who said that he is average at best based on what he did last year at the ml level, very well might be wrong. Actually I think that they are wrong. i hope that is clearer.
-
Good man Mooreland - that is called lumbering along
-
I am not a big believer in the simple expression - sample size. Playing twice a week would probably provide what some might feel is an adequate sample size. It is still not the same as everyday play.
-
i do not believe that his surgery retarded his fitness level certainly from an aerobic level at all - certainly shouldn't have. He looks good.
-
I hope that you are right. We will see.
-
You got no flack from me. That said, i would not move Bogaerts in order to experiment to find out whether anyone could be an everyday player. I think Hernandez could do it but it would still just an experiment that just isn't necessary.
-
I don't think that it is fair to judge any player based on very sporadic playing time at best. In a regular routine of play, what's not to like so far. He hasn't undergone a transformation. He is the same fielder that he was last year.
-
i hope so. he looks quicker than in the past. i think that his fitness level is excellent. it very well may pay good dividends for him down the trail.
-
I agree
-
I'm also going to add that some of you think that Hernandez is barely average in the field. Based on what precisely? He looks better than just average to me over there.
-
I'm just always amazed that people still blame anybody for any of the crap signings. i am much more concerned with what we do with what we have. I'm hoping that Bogaerts feels the same way. Papi is gone- end of story.
