BrandoFan Posted May 26, 2004 Share Posted May 26, 2004 Ya, just look at my post in the other thread. I'm not going to not play Harris based on 15 at bats this season. Look at his minor league splits and you'll see he never was really a one dimensional offensive player (in the sense that he could only hit righties). Look at Jose's career splits and it will tell you different. ALthough he is a little bit better from the left side of the plate. Willie would of sucked 15 at bats into this season regardless of who he was batting against, but the Sox didn't take those stats and write it off. He came back, got comfortable and started hitting. Plus, has he even gone up against any lefties since he got things figured out???? I want Willie playing everyday regardless. He does little things that help this ball club win and thats something you can't say about all the players. Now this is reality: Willie cannot hit LHP - 300 OPS in 70 at bats in the majors. Beyond horrible. Jose crushed lefties in ST. Willie couldn't touch them. Jose is coming off a game on Sunday where he missed a 3-run homer off Santana by 2 feet (gone at USCF) and lined another ball off the wall against another tough lefty Romero. And Jose is just learning to hit from the left side against them, so his 640 OPS off leties coming in is actually not that bad all things considering There is no way Willie starts against LHP and Ozzie knows why. Jose will settle down and will give you 675-700 OPS against them by year's end - not as good as what he did in Spring Training, but more than acceptable.

Jose will settle down and will give you 675 OPS against them by year's end. 70 at bats over 3 major league seasons is not an adequate sample size. If were talking two or three full seasons in the majors, then I'd have a completely different take. Heck prior to this year if you based things on stats like that you wouldn't play Willie at all. Stats are useless when looking at a player that never once was given a shot at playing everyday. Willie was finally given that shot this year and he's responded well. His 15 ab's against lefties, most of which came early in the season when he was still making his adjustments. Jose has how many seasons of suckitude against lefties and he can't hit a curveball at all. No stat is going to tell me any different, I trust my eyes and my ability to break down a player whom I've watched um teen times over the years with the White Sox. I don't see Willie have the same trouble adjusting to the curveball as Jose and quite frankly that or breaking pitches are typically what will cause a hitter to struggle against a particular pitcher (lefty or righty). Willie will show you that he can hit decently against lefties. He also is patient and is a threat at the top of the order and plays good defense. Jose hustles and does some little things but he won't even make contact against lefties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
