Great job by Septimo

Ok guys. Lets make this inning last longer than 30 seconds this time.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 1, 2012 -> 03:23 PM)
Yes, his 11 walks are a real indicator of how selective he has become.

 

Keep in mind no one is saying we should guillotine him. We're saying trade him.

Carlos Lee walked 13 times in about 500 plate appearances as a 23 year old.

You guys can keep making up horses*** about how he is showing such a vast improvement...honestly, I hope you're right...but the result is the same week after week after week after week....

Except for that enormous hot streak, where the result was the exact opposite for about 4 weeks but we're allowed to forget that.

It doesn't happen as quickly as we all want it to, but it does happen.

Because the results were the same, week after week.

damn streaky offense. Score 14 one day, then 0 the next, then 2 the next. Wack.

Same results week after week. Didn't show any tendency towards improving. He's 23 but so the f*** what, what does that have anything to do with it?

 

Sorry to be showing you examples of guys who weren't worldbeaters as 23 year olds who became good players. Another you might want to look at is Sammy Sosa, who improved before he started juicing.

The hot streaks are great...where am I saying he's a terrible player?

 

 

lol@shack. You are indeed entertaining this day.

You score as much as opposing pitching lets you I guess..

This is exactly what I said would happen going in to this season, except for the hot streak. Viciedo would struggle more than we'd want, but we have to stick with him, because we're not going to get anything near his value back in a trade, and what he can bring to a lineup if you really develop him is enormous.

Much, much more often, it doesn't happen at all.

And why can we not get anything back in trade?

 

Why?

Youkilis with no walks yet for the Sox. Him in the 2nd spot is dumb right now

Dunn robbed.

$90 mil infield

Why?

Because the result is the same week after week. He's the same player he was 2 years ago, all he does is swings as hard as he f***ing can.......You're saying he's not worth all that much but expect a big return. Talk about nonsense.

No runs with 2-3-4.

Again, I'm not saying Dayan isn't going to improve or be a solid player.

 

I'm saying he's not going to ever fulfill the expectations you guys have for him.

 

It's a big distinction that many of you seem too stubborn to accept.

What a lame offense this is. Tired of it.

 

And someone is going to tell me that the opposing pitcher was great. And I'm going to say how we can't beat good pitchers and how that is a problem.

Then wouldn't other teams feel the same way and negotiate accordingly?
