Al Lopez Ghost (old) Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 You may be exactly right. Do you think even if doesn't become a good/great base stealer, but can get on base at a decent rate, he can be a solid ballplayer? His defense is very good and he has the speed to score from first. I think he can be a platoon guy - keep him away from lefties. But even as a platoon guy, he's always gonna look like he could be such a good player if only.... but "if only" never comes.

qwerty Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 You may be exactly right.

Yes, he can be a solid player without stealing alot of bases. In the first place stolen bases are extremely overated. he has a pretty damn good eye which is why he had .81 point difference between his batting average and obp. If he could manage to hit around .280 i would imagine his obp would be in the .360 range which is excellent for a number nine hitter. He does have a weak arm but he more than makes up for it with his range. Uribe and willie are the best doubl eplay combo in the american league as it stands.
