NO!!! :fyou

I'm sorry. The SoxTalk auto-size compression made Lowell look really goofy so I edited it and compressed with MS Office Picture Manager......

 

Glad you like it.

Question time: Is Damaso Marte better, worse, or the same as Eddie Guardado?

As for right now he's worse.

Kalapse,

 

your sig and avatar are sweet.

Thank you, I appreciate the kind remarks.

Does it matter, he isnt on the block according to the Mariners.

 

The real question is....Is AJB better than BMAC and Marte?

Is JC in the pen better than Marte?

Is Lowell a better 3B and 1B backup than Gload and Ozuna?

I like it almost as much as that sig

So, where'd you get that Burnett one from?

Yes

Yes

Of course, Ozuna is an awful 3B.

I'm not sure who made it but by your inquiry, I assume it was you. Doesnt matter because I stole it from ScottPodRulez22 avy!

AJB can probably contribute more to this team for 2005 than BMAC and Marte. Beyond that, I'm not sure.

 

I thought JC did poorly in his playoff starts out of the pen?

 

I think Ozuna and Gload are fine back-ups (although Lowell's 3B defense HAS to be better than Ozuna's) and Lowell has struggled offensively all season.

Yes

Yes

Of course, Ozuna is an awful 3B.

 

hey dont knock ozuna. pablo is the man

hey dont knock ozuna. pablo is the man

Yes, he is the man, at 2B and SS.

hey dont knock ozuna. pablo is the man

 

Where's Jabroni when you need him?

Luckily We'll never have to read his Ozuna loving posts on this site again.

There are no hickeys in that avatar, it isn't at it's maximum potential.

I could get some on there... but he is not home.

lol at the Marlins board liking Marte. I hope they like walks to left-handed batters.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

Marte Partay is the living, breathing walk.

 

Every time he takes the rubber its a trip.

any other news about aj/lowell?

Lowell always had been a dead-pull hitter, but he made a concerted effort last year to hit more balls to right-center, where he has enough power to take pitchers out of the park. He showed better pitch selection and built his walk total to a career best. He still likes the ball middle-in and thigh high, and will yank inside mistakes over the relatively short porch in left at Pro Player Stadium. He's a marked flyball hitter who can have trouble with high fastballs and breaking balls away, although in general he did a better job of tracking breaking stuff. He crushes lefties and holds his own against righthanders. Lowell has been one of the club's most reliable clutch hitters, but last year only nine of his 27 homers came with men on base.

Lowell has struggled, but is hitting .294 w/ a .809 OPS in 68 July ABs. He's coming around.

Baserunning & Defense

 

Lowell regularly makes jokes about his lack of running speed, but he is a smart baserunner who usually scores when expected. His defense keeps getting better. Last year, Lowell cut his errors to just seven, a career low for a full season. He makes all the routine plays, has a solid and accurate arm and makes the barehand charge as well as anybody.

Put him at 1st. As long as he is faster than PK and doesnt pop up every AB.
