Balta1701 Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 QUOTE (Frankensteiner @ May 31, 2008 -> 04:03 PM) I think Swisher is movable. Thome and Konerko not so much. But it doesn't mean we have to keep running them out there if they're hitting .200. There will be some bats available. I don't think you can let this type of pitching go to waste. There may be bats available, but the only things we have that would really draw any interest from other teams would be Fields and probably Poreda, and that's not going to cut it.

Capn12 Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ May 31, 2008 -> 08:07 PM) Well right now the Rays have the same amount of runs as we have hits. I guess I find it hard to express just how damn irritated and frustrated I am with this team right now. As good as our pitching is, and that was supposed to be the question mark of this team, we've got to settle for a bunch of overpaid, aging stiffs that all look the same up at the plate, and seem to have no idea of strategy or hitting plan at all.

southsideirish71 Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 7 innings, 5 hits, 10ks and 2 runs. And he is looking at a loss. Our pitchers could win 15 to 18 games with a team with a middle of the road offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am curious. Doesn't matter. Whatever someone's career AVG is after ~400 AB's is what they hit for their career. Proven again and again.

The only reason I say that is that when BA got some consistent at bats, back when he got in the lineup a few times against Seattle, Baltimore, and Minnesota, and the week or two beforehand, he didn't look that bad. He actually had his average up near .300 for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me know what that is...because I'll take Andersons upside (the top notch defense in CF) anyday over Nick Swisher right now. Swisher's upside is he can play like a high level baseball player again, (sor of like he's done the last 2 season). Anderson's upside is that he might stick as a backup outfielder.

People are making a comment that Anderson would look better with some ABs, and you are throwing out his major league average on a kid with a small sample size. You know some guys look better after a second start. Anderson doesnt have the talent level that Q has, but to crap on a kid for a small sample size is a bit bad.
