chetkincaid Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 He's been released by the Rays. I don't think he'll help the the Sox out much. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogan873 Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Is he a better option than Kotsay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chetkincaid Posted June 30, 2010 Author Share Posted June 30, 2010 I don't know but I don't think Blalock would put the team over the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogan873 Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Uh...I don't know. Just looked him up. He hasn't had many opportunities this year, but a .277 OBP last year? Yikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hasn't had many opportunities this year, but a .277 OBP last year? Yikes. I think it's fair to say he's been injured for a long while now, which played into that number for last year. Blalock has a better batting average this year than Kotsay, but a lower OPS (yes, a lower OPS than Kotsay). With Kotsay at least being passable at 1b, I don't see how this is a strong possibility of an upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JorgeFabregas Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 The guy the Rays released him in favor of has been decent for the Giants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been way more than decent. He has a .438 wOBA and a slugging above .600 with the Giants so far in 70 PAs. Maybe Burrell can only hit in the NL?

Vance Law Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Ah, yes. They're basically the same guy to me in my head. They are also kind of, but less so, Eric Hinske. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
