Jordan4life_2007 Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 (edited) QUOTE (Stan Bahnsen @ Sep 12, 2011 -> 02:42 PM) He may not be ready yet, but we need to play him a lot these last two weeks and hope he leaves a good impression with potential offseason suitors. The book is out on CQ. Nothing that happens from here on out will change any perception of him. .800-.825-ish OPS, mediocre to bad defensively, and very much injury-prone. And about to get expensive very soon. Edited September 12, 2011 by Jordan4life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elrockinMT Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Good to have the CQ back. Hope he is with us next year. My book on him is an all out hustler 30 homers 100 RBI kind of guy and more than adequate in the OF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My book on him is an all out hustler 30 homers 100 RBI kind of guy and more than adequate in the OF. I don't know about more than adequate. He definitely hustles out there, but often times it's because he got a bad read or stepped the wrong way. I like CQ, too. But I also see him getting to be quite expensive. Of course, I'd like to see Rios go away and have an OF of Viciedo, De Aza, and Quentin. However, since Rios is not going anywhere... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I supose there has been bigger surprises than a Sox trade of Rios being made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been a 30 HR/100 RBI guy once and he's certainly not more than adequate in the OF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been a 30 HR/100 RBI guy once and he's certainly not more than adequate in the OF. He really was this year. The last 2 years he's had that foot thing and that really cut his range...but aside from the "Getting hurt while playing the OF" part, he's really been adequate, if not more than adequate. It's not an exaggeration to say that he has been the best defender at his position in our OF. He's been average to slightly above average at his position, while Rios and Pierre were disappointing and terrible, respectively. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have to see it again next year before I could come close to deeming him adequate. He wasn't that good in LF in '08. But nobody cared about his defense then because he was putting up MVP numbers. You'll get no argument from me that he's been our best defensive OF. That's more sad than anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's probably true, but he does need to show that he's healthy at present. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not injury prone. All of the injuries are "freak" injuries. It's not like he keeps re-injuring the same thing. Remember when people actually used that line of reasoning to claim that Quentin and Peavy aren't injury prone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
