September 27, 200520 yr Everett's so lost at the plate lately that it looks like his eyes aren't even open. Just clueless wild swings. Uribe too, for that matter.
September 27, 200520 yr QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Sep 27, 2005 -> 05:57 PM) I don't think we're saying we need him...I think we're saying that when he's playing well he's useful. We have 2 possibly decent backup options in B.A. and Borchard right now. But I don't think that either one of them is as useful as a Carl Everett when Everett is playing well. Only problem...of course, is that Everett isn't playing well at all. Borchard over Gload? Hello? :banghead
September 27, 200520 yr I think the some of the guys got used to getting a lot of days off earlier in the year and now it seems they are playing every day. Like Everett, he was platooning with Frank for a part of the season and was rotating some times with Timo at DH and now it seems like he is exhausted and his bat swing is terribly slow. The point is the season is wearing on all the guys. It seems Crede and Paulie are connecting on their swings the most, probably cause they are used to playing without a break.

September 27, 200520 yr I don't have a clue what makes you say Iguchi isn't hitting like he was earlier this season. Yeah he's not hitting .340 like he was to start the year, but he certainly isn't having problems in September. AVG OBP SLG OPS .296 .341 .407 .748
September 27, 200520 yr We miss Carl's bat in a big, big way. I say let him hit himself out of this funk.

When was the last time the guy played a full season without along break. His stats arent equal to most 3 hitters, and frankly he needs to sit the f down.

I didnt mean to put Iguchi in there.
September 27, 200520 yr What we need is for Podsednik to get back on track and fast. He's only got 5 hits in the last 23 at bats and even though Iguchi's numbers are down when Pods gets on base cause he has to sacrifice him over, Iguchi's batting avg. is .294 with runners on and .273 with bases empty. People have to get on for him.
