Steve9347 Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 I expect Adam Dunn to hit for a higher average this year as long as he hits more baseballs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcgrad70 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 QUOTE (greg775 @ Jan 2, 2012 -> 10:50 PM) I was catching up on my post-holidays Chicago newspaper reading and spotted a Phil Rogers column on Dayan Viciedo. Rogers wrote ... "A National League scout called him 'a poor man's Pablo Sandoval,' and he didn't mean that as a compliment. "Not big on him,'' he said. "He's no outfielder, that's for sure. Has arm strength. Poor at judging fly balls. … Could start for a second-division team.'' That's exactly what he's likely to do." Now earlier in the Rogers column, it was written "One International League manager compared him to Vladimir Guerrero, saying he's a proven 'bad-ball hitter.' Another said 'the ball just jumps off his bat,' which was what seemed to be the case in 2010 when Ozzie Guillen nicknamed him "The Tank.'' And yet another called him the best pure hitter in the International League. 'Hits for power, hits for average,' he said, citing his aggressiveness as a double-edged sword. 'You have to make sure he gets himself out, set him up. He's a bad-pitch hitter.' So do you guys think Tank is a star in making, or a stiff in making? I always liked the guy during his limited at bats. I hope he's a hard worker. Some of these guys I would hope are starting to pick up a bat and do some running leading up to spring training. He will be starting for a second division team...that assessment is spot-on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
