June 17, 201114 yr Wow, I would have never guessed. He is always a player that I never notice or pay attention to somehow.
June 17, 201114 yr He's been good with no one on but him and Rios have been a disaster with RISP and 2 outs. Maybe he should be our leadoff hitter.

June 18, 201114 yr He still is not very good. Sub-.700 OPS on the season, can't throw a runner out if the bases were 180 feet apart and his OPS drops to .569 with runners in scoring position. He's been better recently, but overall is still an below-average Major League catcher. Sadly, Ramon has been abysmal this year, too. And Flowers is struggling in AAA.

Those numbers are still controlled by the fact that 1/2 of the season was April. If he holds average Aj numbers for the next 4 months, then you won't have the small sample sizes to complain with.

June 18, 201114 yr Two years ago by August AJ was our best hitter and hitting 3rd when I saw the Sox play @ Boston. http://content.usatoday.com/sportsdata/bas...dSox/2009/08/27
June 18, 201114 yr I don't believe any of those stats in the thread title. I feel AJ fails about 80% of the time.

His DPs are very very annoying. When I think of the Sox offense I think of AJ's crappy DP grounders to second; Rios' pathetic pop ups and grounders where he loafs running to first and of course, Dunn whiffing. Also, Pierre's lousy grounders where he hustles and is always ... barely out. And Gordon's cluelessness where he swings at everything and whiffs at a pitch you are thinking, 'How could ANYBODY think it was a good idea to swing at that??''' Edited June 18, 201114 yr by greg775
