fathom Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 QUOTE (Paint it Black @ May 2, 2009 -> 01:51 AM) IMO BA has looked much more patient and has just looked better at the plate overall. Fields is off to a decent start after being unimpressive last year. All I'm saying it that I think it's stupid to blame Walker when veterans are making stupid ass mistakes. But I'm open as to why you don't like Walker Fields sucked last year cause his knee was basically worthless. He showed huge power potential 2 years ago when he called up, and he just doesn't look like as aggressive this year (batting him 2nd has got to mess with his mindset). I'm not going to even discuss Anderson though, as his swing still is rather awful for a MLB starting position player and he's shown no extra base hit potential this year.

The Ginger Kid Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 QUOTE (fathom @ May 1, 2009 -> 05:51 PM) There was an earthquake in Illinois about 4 years ago that was quite the experience. someone told me the fault line there could do more damage than the san andreas. I'll defer to Balta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
