saabturbografx Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Scotty Po-Po did nothing but hit for a good average and steal bases with the best of them. Why do you reckon he bounced around so many teams and is currently a free agent? He seemed pretty reserved and enigmatic when he played for the Chisox..maybe not the best club house guy?

I'm pretty sure he was just fine in the clubhouse. The reason he bounced around so much is cause he was a light hitting, awful defensive of whose injuries destroyed his one plus tool.

Whoa, catching the ball like it's a falling brick does not make you awful defensively. That's talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than that, Alejandro pretty well crushed Pods in every single category there is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pods did have a very strong first half for our mediocre offense before injuries slowed his second half. 15 steals, 14 caught stealings after the all-star break.

As for clutch, aside from his Yankees walk-off, I don't recall a De Aza moment as clutch as either the Pods Dodgers walk-off or Game 2. Podsednik is also faster and a better base stealer.

Because De Aza has all of those World Series AB's to be able to compare against... And Pods numbers are still not what De Aza's are there.

Remember how many bonehead plays ADA made on the basepaths this year? No one will ever call De Aza a better base runner than Pods. That goes back to the being fast thing to. No one would argue that. The rest of it just isn't true. De Aza is still a way better hitter and outfielder than Pods ever was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heads22 Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 As the first batter of the game in 2005 he hit .333 with a .419 OBP. While he may not have been the best in high leverage situations, I loved watching him lead off games. He gets on, Iguchi moved him over, and he'd score on a sac fly or something. I wonder how many times we took a 1-0 lead in the first inning? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
