Jabroni Posted May 29, 2005 Share Posted May 29, 2005 PK's a FA at the end of this year! That's why he's not exactly a hot commodity for any team looking to rebuild. Also, Field is going to have to start to produce a little more in the minors before he has a lot of trade value. He's not exactly lighting up the minors. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Bingo. If the Rockies were to trade Helton, they would be looking to dump his salary and add good prospects. They wouldn't want to add Konerko and then try to resign him for $8+ million. That's ridiculous.

Â True, but once you know what the ump's zone is, you need to protect. Garland got the same call, if not more outside, on Young earlier in the game.

Rowand44 Posted May 29, 2005 Share Posted May 29, 2005 QUOTE(fathom @ May 29, 2005 -> 01:09 PM) He's really having a rough time at the plate in terms of making solid contact. His bat seems to be dragging through the zone big time. Actually he's been making solid contact a lot lately just not getting a whole bunch of hits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as he's consistent with it I have no problem with it being a little too big or to small. The hitters just have to adjust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Friday night late in the game, and earlier today. Its when they go with the pitches. If its in, Pull it. If its outside dont.  Yet when something that shows you sucess, please dont repeat it.

That same pitch that Dye took for a called 3rd was a very tough pitch. However, that's the same type of pitch you see guys like Stewart or L. Ford flip out to right field for hits (both guys the epitome of tough outs). However, basically Iguchi is the only one on our team who would protect the plate in a similar situation and just go with the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
