If everyone wants Anderson in for his D, why doesn't everyone want Uribe in?

 

thats probably a really fair point...

 

I guess BA is still young. He's got a lot of room to grow offensively. With uribe, you kinda know what you get.... a free swinger who's gonna walk as much as christopher reeve.

 

In addition, BA has hit upwards of 270 since august.

 

but i think you make a good point. maybe i should ease my criticism of uribe offensively.

how so?

 

 

Check out stats, post ASB for both players.

One of those 4 K games for Dye underway. These guys better start protecting the outside part of the plate. This looks like the game Santana pitched against the Sox in Anaheim last year.

His D has been lackluster this year

 

Lackluster in comparison to last year when he was bar-none the best SS in the AL defensively? So he's only top 5 defensively now?

 

Sure the gap between Mack and Anderson defensively is much wider... so is the gap in hitting with those two. Cintron is an arguably better hitter(as in not a better hitter) and much worse defender. Yet, I see people b****ing when we play the matchup and it involves Mackowiak in center, then b****ing when we don't play the matchup and it involves Uribe playing over Cintron. I just don't get it.

SSSSHHHHHH be quiet, the offense is sleeping.

Twins win 7-5. Man, they are rolling...and have been for months. Incredible.

If you don't get it then why should people bother trying to explain it?

Great swing by Thome. I can't recall the last time he did that.

Thome goes the other way.

One is a rookie showing signs of improving at the plate, the other is a vet who keeps getting heavier and who has a swing and a BA getting worse.

 

 

All of which becomes moot in a playoff race. Why don't we start Haegar over Buehrle from now on then? I mean, he's showing signs of improvement and Mark is just a pitcher whose velocity and control has gone down.

Twins score 4 in the 8th to win.

PK's changed his batting stance....again. He has his hands closer up than usually.

is that supposed to make a lick of sense?

GIDP like clock work.

KONERKO ROXXXXORZ!!!11!

Way to pull that high, outside fastball PK. I haven't seen that result 100 times in the last month. You've been swinging well lately....why in the world would you change your hand position on the bat?
