BA could have been an All Star CF for us.....Kotsay is nothing but a Kotsay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T R U Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 6, 2010 -> 03:50 PM) I know right. Brian Anderson haunts us today in the form of Mark Kotsay. Except BA can actually play outfield defense... lmao there cant possibly still be people here who think Brian Anderson was ever good.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he was quite good... in the minor leagues. I think he could have been a lot better with us...if he ever had a good teacher, and he didn't have a brick for a head.

fathom Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 QUOTE (joeynach @ Jun 6, 2010 -> 08:50 PM) Sometimes, actually very often, Ozzie does this to show KW, JR, the fans, everyone that "hey look at the donkeys you gave me on the roster". Its like he saying to KW you signed Kotsay and Randy Williams well here they are are for us, unable to do anything productive, especially in crunch time to close games. Its like Ozzie's version of shrugging his shoulders. Oh stop...that's a stupid argument. He got his roster he wants, but he decided to let Kotsay face a LHP. He had a bench full of righties, but he trusted his veteran. After last season, Ozzie specifically told KW he wanted Kotsay to be brought back.

Absolutely not...it's unbelieveable to imagine anytime could screw up the future of BA more than this organization did, but KC found a way to do so. Imagine BA and AR together in the outfield.....it would have been spectacular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a genius plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Chappas Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 Kotsay is a fine one day a week hitter and LHH against RHP as a pinch hitter. That is it. He has a role Guillen just does not know how to use him. Lead off walk.....ugh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a genius plan. That wasn't the argument you were trying to make. I hear people call up sports radio all the time with these stupid theories. It's a pretty convenient defense mechanism instead of placing blame on the GM or Manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
