The Ginger Kid Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 It's amazing to me that robin or anyone else thinks Dunn should be hitting 3rd on this team.He looks lost in the cage, much less games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, this is true. If he can produce 80% of his prime, he's the three hitter. If he's washed up, bury him at the bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cali Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 I think the Only reason Dunn has been batting third is cause Rios is away at the WBC. Once he comes back he should be in the three hole from now on. (At least I hope Robin is smart enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Mar 16, 2013 -> 11:01 PM) Yes, this is true. If he can produce 80% of his prime, he's the three hitter. If he's washed up, bury him at the bottom. He averaged a 908 OPS for the six years preceding his turn with the Sox. Then 592 and 801 with us. 80% of 908 is a 726 OPS. Not even at 90% of his prime can he be the #3 hitter because that's essentially what he was last year, roughly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 (edited) Keppinger and Flowers are back in the lineup today. Sox leave Arizona 10 days from tonight. We're getting close. edit: I guess Flowers is going to hold off until Tuesday. Off day Monday. Edited March 17, 2013 by flavum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavum Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 15 days away, but the opening day high temp is supposed to be 59. I'd take that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavum Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Just for the hell of it, I checked the attendance of all the games played in Arizona yesterday--beautiful Saturday afternoon, deeper into spring training now... Rockies- 12,427 Giants- 11,738 Indians- 11,023 Rangers- 10,199 Cubs- 9,918 A's- 8,739 Padres- 8,526 Brewers- 6,083 White Sox- 5,547 I can see proximity being a factor for the Sox fan base making their way out to Arizona, but I feel like the Sox fan base is just eroding with time. It's a football city, and hardly anyone is going to use their "fun money" to go to Phoenix for exhibition baseball. And our Chicagoland retirees are more likely in Florida than Arizona--at least I think so. I've been out there once and drove down to Tucson when they trained there. It's a good time, but I guess it's a tough sell to get Sox fans out there for ST. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet Ranger likes it though, and I also bet he'll defend Robin's decision 100+ times this year during the pre and post shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
