He's terrible. He's a one and a half tool player. He'd be a great bench player.

 

LOL. Too much.

Ozuna has won more games for us than Pods has.

Yep, if only Ozuna started for us in Game 2 of the World Series last year.

Ozuna has won more games for us than Pods has.

And he'd lose more games than he'd win if he were the everday LF. He's incredibly valuable as a bench player, he's just awesome. I dislike Pods as much as anyone but there's no way I'd like to see Pablo starting in LF over Pods everyday.

Did you say that .300 is "average"?

 

No. That's just (batting) average for the offense. In that I wasn't talking about OBP or slugging, which obviously he isn't great at.

Instead of Pods or Ozuna, can I take option C next year, which is Josh Fields in LF?

Freddy pitching in the world baseball classic must be a factor in his poor velocity this season. Although he is hitting 92-93 tonight.

Yes please.

Is Fields even playing LF yet? If not, I would think that he should have more time practicing out there than the start of next year.

The Cell gun has him much lower tonight (that's been more accurate than any of the other guns this year). I highly doubt Garcia's fastball is at 95, and his change is at 87 (which ESPN is saying).

Off topic, but did anyone see BA talking while on first? It looked like he asked for the ball.

And our leadoff man would be????

Had I not watched BA struggle so mightily as a first year starting OFer, I'd agree 1000%...Now I'm a little gunshy about throwing a rook into the fire. But Fields definately won't be kept away very long.

Put Cintron/Ozuna at short and have them leadoff.

Come on dammit Freddy keep it close!

Good pitch and a real nice piece of hitting right there.

If they're considering it, he'll get his time in Winter Ball, etc. It's not like we need him to replace a Gold Glover in the outfield.

LOL. Cintrons 3 walks per 100 ABs would work really well.

Well, not like Pods and his awesome 250ish average is doing wonders for us in the leadoff slot right now.

Please steal third Grady.

No, but his .357 OBP is doing a lot.

He has the 2nd most walks on the team and a .357 OBP which is incredible considering his awful start coming off of the injury.

Yay, Hafner will bat with no one on next inning.

I seem to recall Pods getting the game tying hit yesterday in the 8th. :rolly

I've talked to people who see a ton of Knights games, and the reports I hear are that Fields swing is much shorter and MLB ready than Anderson's ever was.

How could it be any longer than Anderson's swing?
