I'd change...

AJ - B

Thornton - B

Crain - A

Reed - B

Floyd - C

Konerko - C

Santiago - B

 

The only thing I know about coaches is that their roles are incredibly overrated.

I agree with TaylorSt.

 

grade yourself as a poster??? I have this weird feeling people dont like me on here for some reason.

I think you are right about coaches/managers.

Then why do you give Ozzie so much credit for the 2005 season?

Guys with career years AJ and Rios have to be A. Thornton a D is a good call

If it was just about hitting, AJ would be an A, but there's 2 sides to the game. He had a better year defensively, so he wasn't awful, just bad.

Quintana - B, barely avoids B-

The guy jumps 2 levels from A+ ball and almost helps us win a division and yet he barely avoids a B-.

You're not alone.

 

Everyone here is completely miserable.

BTW I give Flowers an A for looking like a Major League player this year. He had a lot of work to do & he did it. Now he deserves a shot at regular PT, if not here then elsewhere.

f***ing sig'd.

Compared to what was expected of AJ Pierzynski this year, anything less than an A is completely wrong.

 

The man played improved defense and had career highs in OPS and homers.

Your news letter, I'd like to sign up for it. But seriously, there is coffee all over my monitor. Well done.

1B - Paulie A: Got a lot more out of him than I expected

2B - Becks C.

SS - Lexi C-: Disappointing power year, wasn't as good defensively this year, IMO

3B - Youk B-; Morel F

LF - Viciedo C: Too many awful at bats, defensive liability.

CF - DeAza B+: Team really suffered when he was not leading off

RF - Rios A: Fantastic year. Played a good RF, hustled, great base runner.

C - AJP B+: Great year but too many bad at bats down the stretch, defensive liability

DH - Dunn A-: Part of his grade includes just bouncing back. Had some huge hits and played ok at first

 

Danks - D: I'm going to grade him on how he pitched, albeit probably pitched hurt all season before his DL trip.

Floyd - C: Meh, was awful for a long stretch.

Sale - A

Peavy - B+

Quintana - B+:

Liriano - C

Thornton - C+: Some good, some bad

Crain - C+: Some good, some bad

Reed - A-

Veal - A-

 

Lilly- D

Hudson - D"

Wise - C

Flowers - B-

Dan Johnson - D: I don't care about his 3 homers. He's a giant meh for me.

Danks brother - C

 

Robin Ventura - B.

Cooper - B-: Coop needs to get credit for Quintana, the management of Sale and Peavy, and Veal

Manto - INC: I just don't have a high regard for hitting coaches in general so out of fairness I'm not grading.

I love that Greg gave himself an A

What do you guys think of the fact Rios and Viciedo drew almost the exact same number of walks? Rios had 26 walks in 605 at bats; Viciedo 28 in 505 at bats and AJP 28 in 479 at bats? I didn't realize Rios doesn't take a walk.

I love that Greg gave himself an A

He's so full of himself. I'd only give him an A-.

My grading of myself was kind of a parody. I can't be full of myself til I have the money of Ozzie.

Then why do you give Ozzie so much credit for the 2005 season?

 

 

Because we won a World Series so he must have done something right!

Well, Rios had 26 and hit .304 and Dunn had what 105 + - a few and hit .204. Keep it up Alex
