ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Wow, I would have never guessed. He is always a player that I never notice or pay attention to somehow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 He's been good with no one on but him and Rios have been a disaster with RISP and 2 outs. Maybe he should be our leadoff hitter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soxfest Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 How many stolen bases allowed in that time 30? 5th place hitter he is not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maggsmaggs Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 (edited) He still is not very good. Sub-.700 OPS on the season, can't throw a runner out if the bases were 180 feet apart and his OPS drops to .569 with runners in scoring position. He's been better recently, but overall is still an below-average Major League catcher. Sadly, Ramon has been abysmal this year, too. And Flowers is struggling in AAA.

Those numbers are still controlled by the fact that 1/2 of the season was April. If he holds average Aj numbers for the next 4 months, then you won't have the small sample sizes to complain with.

He did the same thing last year too, just didn't get started until midseason instead of early May. He was on fire down the stretch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
claydude14 Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Two years ago by August AJ was our best hitter and hitting 3rd when I saw the Sox play @ Boston. http://content.usatoday.com/sportsdata/bas...dSox/2009/08/27 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerksticks Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 I don't believe any of those stats in the thread title. I feel AJ fails about 80% of the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel AJ fails about 80% of the time. It sure seems that way. His DPs are very very annoying. When I think of the Sox offense I think of AJ's crappy DP grounders to second; Rios' pathetic pop ups and grounders where he loafs running to first and of course, Dunn whiffing. Also, Pierre's lousy grounders where he hustles and is always ... barely out. And Gordon's cluelessness where he swings at everything and whiffs at a pitch you are thinking, 'How could ANYBODY think it was a good idea to swing at that??'''
