jeffro2525 Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 QUOTE (BigSqwert @ May 6, 2010 -> 09:48 PM) He doesn't even make productive outs. He has been walking lately...but I've never seen a major leaguer I've had less confidence in when he's at the plate. He can't hit right now. Even his foul balls look like crap. He can't square up anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleHurt05 Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 QUOTE (jphat007 @ May 6, 2010 -> 09:47 PM) Get Orlando Hudson. Get Matsui or Johnny Damon, Keep Pods instead of Pierre. Jim Thome. Those moves alone would make us a significantly better offense. Even better if you believe that hte other hitters would be better with good hitters around. And all of those moves were easily doable. EASILY. Pierre & Teahen do suck, but do those moves really keep Alexei/AJ/Beckham/TCQ from hitting under .220??? I doubt it, well, maybe they hit .240 or so. Either way, these main guys we are depending on are going through prolonged slumps of over a month, which keeps us from being any kind of offense. Our 3-4-5 guys are hitting, so its not like Hudson/Matsui/Thome would help these guys hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those moves alone would make us a significantly better offense. Even better if you believe that hte other hitters would be better with good hitters around. And all of those moves were easily doable. EASILY. Matsui basically has the same numbers as Q. Pods and Thome I will give you, I was advocating for their return myself. However, at least half of fans seemed to want them gone. Damon has played well this year, but at $8 million he's not earning his paycheck. Pierre will likely end up with very similar numbers to Pods anyways, so I am not going to lose sleep over that one. In my mind, Kenny's biggest mistake was trusting Ozzie with letting Thome walk. I know the offense has been piss poor, but this game doesn't look ANY different than several last year that did feature a lineup Podsednik and Thome.

jeffro2525 Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 I'm sorry. He has been good. But most people on here are freaking in love with Andrew Jones to this point...he's hitting freaking .260, but it feels like he's hitting .400 compared to everybody else in the line-up...it's just sad/depressing that a .260 hitter is one of saving graces this season.
