jphat007 Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 11, 2006 -> 07:12 PM) 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. But we'll need to replace a leadoff hitter and there is nobody on the team equiped to handle the leadoff duty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats true, but I don't think we'd get more defense than Pablo out there if we rushed Fields like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capn12 Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 I'm not sure how so many still favor a leadoff guy who a)cant bunt for s***, b)doesnt know how to keep the ball on the ground when hitting, c)cant play defense for s***, and d)has a noodle arm. Oh thats right, he sure can steal bases!! Awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you have our 3-4-5, speed isn't that important at the top of the order. It will be a tough decision though, as I'm sure Ozzie wants to keep playing small ball. I don't see them getting rid of Pods though, so this is probably just a never-ending scenario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 QUOTE(shoota @ Jun 12, 2006 -> 01:16 AM) How has Freddy won 7 games? He's found a way to keep teams in more than half of his games to 3 runs or less. The team has also given him solid run support...and he's had good success against the lesser hitting teams we've faced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh thats right, he sure can steal bases!! Awesome. C'mon Cap. Pods has a GB/FB % of 50.9% this season. granted it's down for his 56% from last season, but it's still alright. We all know he's terrible defensively, but that shouldn't factor into his success as a leadoff hitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pods isn't doing terrible considering his horrid start, and didn't he have a really big hit yesterday or the day before?
