WhiteSoxfan1986 Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 QUOTE(Wedge @ Apr 11, 2007 -> 03:49 PM) I really doubt that. So it's unreasonable to think he can hit .260/.270 while hitting for more power than those guys would? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LVSoxFan Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 On a side note to what somebody said before, SURE I'd take Blackjack and Deejay in the booth all the time. DJ is like a free man when Hawk's not in the booth with him. I like this combo. BJ and DJ! And BJ tends to give a lot of really cool insights. Sigh. We can wish, can't we?

Like I said, he needs to cut down on the swings and misses before he becomes good at that role, but I think he'll get there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capn12 Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Thats why BA is in the game..just dont hit him 2nd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitoMB345 Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 And Anderson lays a huge egg in his only start for the next two weeks. Too bad he'll never be given a chance to get in a rhythm. So long BA, have a nice life in AAA/NL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CYGarland Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 (edited) If anything, Anderson should be a late inning defense replacement for Pods Edited April 11, 2007 by CYGarland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Controlled Chaos Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 (edited) Brian saves hits = saves runs = I have no problem with him batting 270 in the 9 hole. And I actually though Brian did a good job of hitting to the right side in the spring. Edited April 11, 2007 by Controlled Chaos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't just look at a guys rookie year, look what Alex Gordon is doing right now. I just think based on how he looks now and last year, that it's a pretty big assumption that he'll hit 270. I could be wrong, but that's just what my eyes tell me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
