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.
-
Or you don't try to move that base runner over and just ground into another dp. Hmm - whatever floats your boat. Wait though because pretty soon these guys are all going to start busting it right.
-
Don't start throwing around the labels. That type of thinking gets latched onto to easily. I am not a small ball guy at all. My thought is though that if something isn't working, then trying something else is a good thing. I think that it is absolutely ridiculous to not try something different when what is supposed to happen isn't happening. Thus the argument behind bunting, stealing, hitting and running. When the runs start coming, great back to the original plan. I just don't think losing games now and saying everything is ok because we soon will start to hit makes any sense.
-
i could not agree with you more and have felt this way for a ling time. Go to Portland, you see the same thing. We need players at some level who at least will make a pitcher think before throwing. i agree with everyone who says that this team will. The issue is will they produce runs. Lots of singles and lots of doubles. It is not a bad thing but we need some major punch in our system as well.

Pomeranz = not bad last night
