caulfield12 Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 (edited) Quentin now 5/7 after the Break, back up to 873 OPS. Â That's a ton of hitter for the Braves, Giants or Phillies. Â Thanks Rios. Please put yourself on the PUP list. Â Â BTW, wonder if the DBacks would like to undo that Joe Saunders for Haren deal?

caulfield12 Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 (edited) Juan Pierre, 648 OPS Alex Rios, 560 OPS Â Just wow. Hard to imagine that even Brian Anderson could be doing much worse than that. Heck, Kotsay/Erstad/Mackowiak would be beating it. Â He's on a pace for 30-35 RBI's. How is that even possible hitting where he does in the line-up?

TitoMB345 Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 http://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=...=2011&ind=0 Â Alex Rios is the worst hitter in the MLB (and this isn't hyperbole) [and that rhymed]. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 (edited) 2-3 years ago, it looked like Peralta's major league career was nearly over. Horrible defense and not enough power, too many K's with the Indians. Â Good thing there are 2 outs. Why is Peralta not at third? Peralta just jogged to 2B. Â Â Jackson's taking a page from the Verlander book. Getting beat on change-ups and sliders but really popping the fastball now, got up to 97. If he gets that ERA back under 4.00, his value goes up quite a bit psychologically...especially if you look at his other peripherals.

caulfield12 Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 (edited) Because we'd be wasting $43 million dollars, and JR/KW will never admit defeat on that big a contract. Â They definitely should try ANYTHING different. Lillibridge against lefties, DeAza/Milledge/Danks, just DO something. Â As long as that something's not overpaying for Beltran with Viciedo. Â Â Â In retrospect, you can say that Ozzie deserves some credit for sticking by Pierre. But this thing with Rios is just illogical. And hitting Dunn 3rd/4th against LHP.
