Swingandalongonetoleft Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 When it was Milledge v. Lillibridge during spring training and only one of them would break camp with the team, I really wanted it to be Milledge. When Milledge got DFA I thought about Lillibridge and if management possibly overlooked him/forgot that he existed when they made the decision. I'm sorry, I was wrong.

Can't wait to see the boxscore in Charlotte tonight as Viciedo will go 3/4 with a HR and 2 doubles, leaving me to weep gently in my pillow.

I can say one thing for sure, he wouldn't be providing anywhere near the defense that Lilli has. I honestly don't see anything that tells me he would have been hitting as good from him either.

I'd rather have Pierre up with runners on than Dunn at this point. At least Pierre can slap a single through the hole and knock in some runs. Dunn can't do anything, not even hit a freaking sac fly. Guy is worthless right now. He'll figure it out or at least i hope he will! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lillian Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 I hate to be so obstinate about it, but at this point, if Ozzie doesn't play Lillibridge in place of one of our strugging players, I don't think I'll watch. Brent has earned a chance to play regularly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chw42 Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 (edited) Rongey tried to compare Lillibridge to Pablo Ozuna on the postgame show today. Call me when Ozuna hits 6 HRs with a slugging of .600+ Ranger. I think Lillibridge is past the point of being exploited when he gets more playing time. He really looks like he's turned things around. The power and turnaround he's showing reminds me a lot of what happened to Ben Zobrist in 09. You don't hit the ball as hard as he has because you're getting lucky.

Chisoxfn Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Lillibridge has always had very quick hands and bat speed which allowed him to generate good power. The problem was his swing was very long and he had a pretty poor eye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
