Lillibridge sent down


Buehrle>Wood

Recommended Posts

Not that he's young and has a good chance to make any sort of impact at the major league level, but he needs to look in the mirror one day, maybe hop on a scale too, and realize that what's keeping him from staying in the big leagues isn't his inability to hit the ball out of the park, but his regular attempts to hit the ball out of the park. He may be one of the dumbest hitters I've ever seen.

Let's not get crazy... it's not like he was sent to AA. Still only a DL stint away from returning. Hopefully he'll have enough eligibilty to garner ROY votes by the end of the season

 

Yep...horror movies have taught us that the bad guy is never "dead" after the initial incident.

KW being the selfish person he is waited this long to clarify him a bust. A real GM would lick their wounds and move on.

 

 

If KW was that quick to clairfy a player a bust, Joe Crede would have never lifted up a championship trophy on a double decker bus in the loop. Is Lillebridge ready? Hell no. Is he a bust? We'll see.

Did you just say "A real GM?" Really...

Braves fans were correct, the kid is garbage.

 

His swing and approach need to be made over 100% for him to succeed in baseball. Methinks it never happens.

How stubborn do you have to be to have people tell you that the only way you're ever going to be a big leaguer long-term and make anything more than a pittance in earnings is to make changes and for you to not do them?

These guys have been the best player around them for their entire life, they've been told by people around them how good they were. I dont blame them for being stubborn really. Of course the first time he failed at the big league level should have been a wakeup, apparently it wasnt.

You're right. Unfortunately, some players are developed to perform where they're at rather than the next level. It's why a guy like Anderson comes up and has a long, hole-filled swing. It worked in the minors with lesser quality pitchers who will miss out over the plate.
