BAD to be sure but all the same a guy who in two and a half months time hits .300 is doing SOMETHING right, therefore not deserving of an F. He had an absolutely horrendous start and I think his overall stats which you quoted are a wee bit clouded. Still, I agree he was bad. At the seasons start I hoped for a B or C type season from him not a D or an F.

 

I think he deserves SOME credit for his June and August numbers.

 

June- .317/.388/.400

August- .316/.359/.474

 

Even if you wanna throw out his September (.307/.350/.417) due to only having 36 Abs.

 

The fact that he's played mostly 1B/3B/DH does put a damper on those numbers(namely the slugging%) but overall I'm fine giving him the D grade..Though I won't really argue with anyone giving him an F.

 

I see your point(s).

 

On a related note, it's almost hard to believe how bad he had to be the rest of the year to have had 2-3 solid months in there and still to end up with his season line how it was.

His April (.202/.198/.226) and July (.205//231/.227) were just god awful. Those were also months where he got more ABs(84 and 88, whereas his good months he had 60 and 57), I imagine he was a full time starter in those months, which tells me his much better in a role where he's not starting everyday.

Bolded the pitchers. Much more of them at the top. Offense and defense was something horrendous.

This "idiot" got 32 on his ACT.

 

ahhh...thats a great one. What a beaut.

He called me an idiot. This proves I'm not. So what's the problem? Idiot is a pretty strong word so I figured I'd defend myself.

Must do better next season.

 

A huge improvement needed, Defense went from an A+ to an F- in a season. Please stay behind after class for extra lessons.
