If they're considering it, he'll get his time in Winter Ball, etc. It's not like we need him to replace a Gold Glover in the outfield.

 

But we'll need to replace a leadoff hitter and there is nobody on the team equiped to handle the leadoff duty.

Thats true, but I don't think we'd get more defense than Pablo out there if we rushed Fields like that.

I'm not sure how so many still favor a leadoff guy who a)cant bunt for s***, b)doesnt know how to keep the ball on the ground when hitting, c)cant play defense for s***, and d)has a noodle arm.

 

Oh thats right, he sure can steal bases!! Awesome.

When you have our 3-4-5, speed isn't that important at the top of the order. It will be a tough decision though, as I'm sure Ozzie wants to keep playing small ball. I don't see them getting rid of Pods though, so this is probably just a never-ending scenario.

WHere is the .357 OBP gonna come from? Who are you planning on supplying that in the leadoff spot?

How has Freddy won 7 games?

 

He's found a way to keep teams in more than half of his games to 3 runs or less. The team has also given him solid run support...and he's had good success against the lesser hitting teams we've faced.

C'mon Cap. Pods has a GB/FB % of 50.9% this season. granted it's down for his 56% from last season, but it's still alright.

 

We all know he's terrible defensively, but that shouldn't factor into his success as a leadoff hitter.

Beacuse he has given up 3 runs or less in 9 of his 12 starts? :huh

 

Does anybody here like the players on our team except for our 3-4-5 and Jose? I mean seriously.

That sounds about right. It certainly wasn't because of his dominance.

I don't really know who you suggest to replace him. Ozuna? Ha! Fields? Haha!

 

Pods isn't doing terrible considering his horrid start, and didn't he have a really big hit yesterday or the day before? (I haven't been able to see any Sox games since last Monday or so)

Criticism does not equal hatred.

There is plenty of "I dislike Pods, but..." "I dislike Freddy, but..."

 

There is a difference between criticism and whining about everything a player does wrong.
