RibbieRubarb Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 Juan Uribe! Is he finally showing the promise that Oakland thought he had? What do you do when Jose returns? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RibbieRubarb Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 Rockies... You're right. I keep getting him and Oakland minor league phenom 2B Jose Ortiz confused. He played in Colorado, too, with Juan Uribe. I got it squared, now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
israel4ever Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 We should probably package Valentin and Wunsch in a trade for a pitcher, or a left handed bat off the bench. I'd hate to trade Wunsch, but where are the Sox gonna put him? (Besides, he's the Sox player rep, and we have a history of dumping our player reps.)

Gene Honda Civic Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 Yet another reason why Jeremy Reed can't come up soon enough 2004 Individual Statistics - Charlotte Knights Complete through Thursday, Apr 29 Batters BA SLG G AB R H TB 2B 3B HR RBI BB SO SB CS E J.Reed .338 .450 19 80 9 27 36 7 1 0 7 3 12 6 0 0 --------------------- Prior to this season Jeremy Reed was walking twice and much as he was striking out. He was walking at a pace about .8/G, and strikeing out about .4/G -- Right now he is walking at .15/G, and striking out .6/game -- That trend, coupled with his lackluster performace in spring training, makes me want him to see more time in the minors. He is only in his 3-year of Pro ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrandoFan Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 Clutch is BS? I'd like to hear a reasonable explanation on this one. That's because S-metric dorks like Bill James forget that the game is played by humans and not zombie-robots. They see a batter batting 300 with RISP one year, then 260 next and 340 the next......and think this "unhealthy" deviation indicates luck. Guess what? Even clutchest of clutch hitters go into funks, pitchers stop feeding them when ducks are on the pond, they overswing, etc. Tell the Marlin fans that I-Rod's incredible clutch-hitting that carried them into the WS last year was luck manifest.

hammerhead johnson Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 Tell the Marlin fans last year that Pudge's incredible clutch-hitting that carried them into the WS was pure luck. That is the perfect example. Seriously, you couldn't have come up with a better example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gene Honda Civic Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 I could put up a good argument for both sides -- I could even refute your Pudge -- but I won't becasue I have one foot planted firmly in each camp. -- I would be interested to see what Reddy had to say though. It's always fun to hear someone elses opinions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrandoFan Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 I could even refute your Pudge You see, it wouldn't matter a lick if I-Rod's career numbers with RISP are well below 2003 because nothing changes what he did in 2003. When he hit a 95mph fastball up and away to RF in a do-or-die situation in NLDS, it wasn't "luck" -- at least no more luck than him hitting that pitch in Spring Training. Some people are smarter than others. Some people are prettier. Some are more clutch. Sometimes "conventional wisdom" that Billy Caesar and his ilk despise so has survivided centuries for a good reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah he needs to work more on his plate discipline, 3 BB's and 12 K's is not a good stat to hav, but Reed's hittin betta off lefties this year as well, which was one of his minor weaknesses last season if he had 1.
