Kalapse Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 QUOTE (kapkomet @ May 2, 2009 -> 10:29 PM) He's only playing there because this team makes him. He's really a 2B. I would like to see his road splits... can you give me a URL? http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/...=Career&t=b for his career: Home: .323/.371/.483/.855 Away: .278/.322/.407/.729 Everything suggests that he's made a living off the lightning quick infield and big gaps of the Ballpark in Arlington. Honestly, I wouldn't take him if they gave him away for free, that's how bad that contract is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't agree more. I just saw a highlight of Dye's HBP, and I'll be shocked if we see him get another at bat before June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kapkomet Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 .278 BA is not that bad. I don't disagree that it's a big contract, but I do think the guy can hit and he's not that bad defensively - AT 2B. SS, no, not so much, nor 3B, although he's just gotten moved there this year. I would argue that most guys have a better home BA, so, it's not that outrageous.

scenario Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 (edited) QUOTE (kapkomet @ May 2, 2009 -> 10:31 PM) For his size, you're right. I didn't see if he could have made it or not. Thome's hit went into the right hand corner. Can't imagine why a third base coach wouldn't send a guy who was on 2nd base home. Anybody should have been able to score on that play. But Cox put up the stop sign. Edited May 3, 2009 by scenario Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superstar? No. But a really good player who always seems to put the ball in play. Except against a suck ass Contreras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly believe the only ballpark he could really succeed in outside of Arlington is the Twinky dome and their concrete infield. And .278 is terrible when you're only major asset is your ability to hit for a high average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
