qwerty Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 He did hit .314 in a full season. Flukes happen, what can i tell you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3E8 Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 Flukes happen, what can i tell you. By that same token, you could argue that this season's .244 was a fluke. I'd still love to have him on our team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelasDaddy0427 Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 yeah... instead we can have WH hitting .250 Yet we'd still have Brian Anderson to come up when Pod disappoints the same people who are begging for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shagar69 Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 I didn't even realize Scotty PoPo is 28 years old. damn, he is? i thought he was only like 24 or 25. s***. i might reconsider giving up anderson for him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwerty Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 Pod is a good player but in my opinion he is not a lead-off hitter unless he can get his obp up to about .340-.350. I would actually prefer a lead-off hitter to have a better obp but he does not need one as high because he is so dangerous with his speed, unlike willie. They are both numbe nine hitters until proven otherwise imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qwerty Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 Jaime Burke's a fluke too? Even more so. Do you think he is really a .331 hitter? He is a career .279 hitter in the minors, and he first came up when he was thirty one. I am not saying he cannot be a decent back-up in the majors just nothing overally great.

KipWellsFan Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 Flukes happen, what can i tell you. That's more of an aberration. Flukes don't happen over an entire year, when you hit over .300 in the major leagues you've got the skill to hit at least .275 easy in any other year. You guys are also seeming to forget that we're getting that throw in Luis Castillo in this "deal". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qwerty Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 His career OBP is .343. He had a .379 obp in his fluke year and had a .313 era last year. Last year is more the type of hitter he is than 2003. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently he does not have the skill to hit .275 in any other year since he is a .265 minor league hitter. 2003 was a fluke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You seem to be forgetting that we could get Luis without Milwakee being invovled... I mean the whole point is that they get Lee...they aren't getting anything from the Brewers...so just make it a 2 team trade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not saying he cannot be a decent back-up in the majors just nothing overally great. that's why i posted that. I don't think he is a fluke...but certainly not able to put up those types of numbers. maybe more of a .290 or so hitter is more reasonable for Jaime. He seemed to be more comfortable in the majors. Â Who know's...maybe a change of scenary might do scott some good. Isn't that what everyone says? I think it might. He's coming to a better team...a hitters park...the American League? Â His success was probably because no one knew who he was when he was a rookie, but they then figured him out the next year. Well he would basically be in the same situation in the American League. No one would know how he plays offensively....but this time he isn't a rookie he has two years of experience...A great year and a Bad year to learn from.

Are you saying burke would hit .290 over a full season? Because i think he would hit more in the .260 range honestly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because i think he would hit more in the .260 range honestly. .270 something in the minors and .330 in the majors. split it up and you get .290 something. I think he would be in between the minors and the majors in performance...that's all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
