As for the topic, No thank you.. If Albert stays in STL as everyone seems to think will happen.. 'Ramirez would be the #2 top hitter to go after My bet.. He ends up with LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Angels. They been throwing money down the drain the last several years.. he seems like a perfect fit for them.

You are correct in assessment of Jake. I also feel that he will be a solid #2/3 next year. Rios IMO is washed up and won't do squat Dunn, I still think he isn't 100% for his May surgery.. Time off, working out more in the offseason.. He comes back old Dunn.. Everyone thinks its cause of Ozzie being gone.

Deaza of course.

Just think if he leaves.. This place will have an entire new scapegoat to pin Kenny's failures on next year.

He might also Turn white and have gold shoot out his ass... But the likely of these 3 things happening in 2012.. are slim and none... and None is leading by 20 lengths and slim is fading faster than the Sox playoff hopes in June.

I never stated a HR isn't better.. Just not needed as much. If your leadoff hitter is getting 20 HRs 1 of 2 things is happening 1. He is Ricky Henderson or 2. and More likely, your manager is wasting that players talent, and could be better served in the middle of the lineup.. like the 6 hole. Take for instance, Alex Gordon.. He should be playing at 5/6 in that lineup.. Since he is a better HR hitter and in theory more people will be on base for him to knock them in with his HR. At his current place of 1, the likelyhood 7-8-9 are on base.. Are not as likely as 2-3-4...

If you thought I was talking 2011, Pierre, than you are a bigger fool than the one who wanted Lilly to replace Dunn. And I have some Ocean property in Utah to sell to you. HRs are great, but if you think they are needed in leadoff spot, and not a luxury.. I suggest you educate yourself on the game.

Or a GM 10/11 years?

I didn't know slugging % for a leadoff hitter was a requirement.. But it was .388.. To me OBP, (how often a player)Ks, Runs, and SBs. I could care less if they hit 20 hrs... That what your middle of the order guys are for.

I'm fine with him only having a 1 year deal.. The Yankees do it all the time.

Well since s/he never did.. all s/he did was.. the question, .. I would expect anything less than go find it.. Since it is never there, I never will. S/he hope is that I will forget about it. I just went through the entire thread... ZERO answers to that. Though, I did have a good laugh at Sk 2.0 again trying to use Javy as an example.. quite entertaining.

Because posting a link to the post.. is too much to ask... Got it.

So pretty much you just summed up what Pierre did at age 28... Thank you agreeing, at best he is Pierre.

He plays for the cubs.

I must have missed it from you dodging... Care to just answer it again... So it saves us both time.

Its a very simple question.. a yes or no.. if its a no, why not.

So hitting at or around .300, stealing 40+ bags, and having around .350 OBP... sound good to you?

Outside of Fans... Has any player stated that Walker didn't help him, after they left.. ANd for the record, I think Hitting coaches are overrated... So I am not a fan nor hater of walker.

actually 23... But, making excuses isn't going to sell me on him not being that great.

Joe, we need to replace Bacon.. and he seems like the perfect fit.. Defensively a downgrade, but offensively, a huge upgrade.

The dude will be 28 right at the start of next year season.. History tells me, a 27 year old minor league getting his big break... isn't exactly a show stopper. So having a Pierre type offensive season, is the best we can hope for. Defensively My dead grandmother is better than JP.

You never answered this, just dodged it.. Where do you stick him in a lineup, and who gets moved up...?

At best, he has a Juan Pierre type season..

Because on August 1st every Baseball person in North American if not the world was still going.. there is no way Dunn doesn't start hitting for starters. 2nd, Ozzie benches Dunn for Lilly... 2 problems, 1 the CT comes out how Ozzie hates Kenny.. which who cares.. 2. Lilly just came off a month of hitting about as great as Dunn.. At the time, no one would have said it was a smart move. Now looking back, sure.. I personally think Dunn never fully recovered from his surgery, but is either to proud or stupid to admit it. And the off-season he finally recovers has a great 2012.. with or without Ozzie here.
