In Washington I'll bet that is what is holding up Dunn negotiations. The Nats desperately covet Kotsay's veteran leadership, but Ozzie and Kenny are giving them a big F U.

iamshack Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 08:51 PM) Something that has impressed the hell out of me is his pitch recognition. He chases fewer bad pitches than just about anyone on the team. Yeah, it's not like he strikes out a ton...but he needs to lay off the stuff outside.

I know he has a good stroke to the opposite field, but I'd like to see him not swing at pitcher's pitches early in the count. He's had a lot of fly outs to right field, and he's a good enough hitter to control the at bat more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BearSox Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 If I had to choose who to keep between Viciedo and Beckham, I would pick Viciedo everyday and twice on sunday. As long as he stays focused on rightfield and doesn't get pull happy, all signs point to him becoming a great hitter, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcgrad70 Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 Ozzie wants to be recognized as a great in-game strategist. He'll never be. He's at his best when the game basically calls for him to sit tight and do nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BearSox Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 09:01 PM) His OBP is also .322, unfortunately. But has only 6 strikeouts in almost 60 AB's, and if you aren't gonna walk a ton, at least he won't K a ton either. Besides, considering he is still only 21, there is hope he will grow more plate discipline as pitchers start to pitch around him more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
