But look at what he did last season Vince. If I recall he really hit the ball last year. Also, despite a very low avg he has a .325 obp which tells you if he hits .260 he'd have a .340-.350 obp from a bottom of the lineup hitter. He's a great bunter and has unbelievable range in center. He has more range then the two of our centerfielders combined.
I with you Jas, if he can bunt, hit behind runners, and play a good CF defense, he is a HUGE improvement in CF. But I also would like to know why he is being waived. That doesn't make sense.
Or bust a nut jumping onto Franks bandwagon.
Such a hypocrate. With the way he waivers on allies he will be a perfect enforcer of US policy abroad, friends today, enemies tommorrow!
You do know who has the best chance as it stands now of being our second rep on the all-star team right? D'Angelo Jimenez. Look at his #'s vs the rest of the AL 2B's.
What has been Damaso's problem this year pitching to lefties? Look at his splits
vs Lefties
.280 BA, .400 OBP, .320 SLG, .720 OPS with 5BB in 25 AB's against
vs Righties
.091 BA, .167 OBP, ..182 SLG, .348 OPS with 3BB in 33 AB's against
Who knows if it is true or not. But all he needs to get off is reasonable doubt, and if he has got anykind of an attorney, it seems like he could be well on his way.
If you KNOW you are going to go out of the country, I would do a currency exchange ASAP. The Bush admin has all but said they are going to let the dollar devalue against the rest of the worlds currencies. In other words the dollar is going to buy a lot less.
Give me a break. They also only pitch once every five days. You sound like an ambulance chaser trying to find a reason to sue when you knick pick like that.
and on top of it all makes racist statements. If a white reporter had said the samethings after he was fired, it would be headlines calling him an antisemite.
Yeah if we had an average defensive CF Mark gives up like 2 runs.
Was it Maggs in CF or Rios?
Rios. Kept getting bad reads and breaks on balls, and doesn't have the speed to make up for it.
A little off topic but what position does Ruddy Yan play?
He is listed as a 2B as far as I can find. He is hitting .362 with 29 steals so far this season at Winston Salem.

At least he can play defense in CF.
In all seriousness, I would be in favor of going after him. He has a long term contract that isn't TOO expensive in the grand scheme of things. His left handed bat would fit awesome in the middle of our line up. And it is a short poke out to the bullpen sports bar for him.
More than likely it will take the removal of some salary to accomplish this, but us and Cincy could be trading partners as they excess in the OF and we have minor league pitching that they could use.
