chw42 Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 20, 2016 -> 01:58 PM) Saladino needs to play until he proves he's not good. I kinda think he might be good. He showed a lot of what he has to offer last year. He might be a league average SS in the end, mostly due to his defense. I don't think he's a good enough hitter though.

bmags Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 I think at the very least I'm happy that witH Saladino we have a player that can truly play 3 positions well and we feel comfortable can put together an at bat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boopa1219 Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 The Sox are dead last in walks with 28 (prior to today's game). The Cubs are first with 70. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like getting a hit but getting thrown out going to second raises your AVG but not your OBP. wait, is it really a fielder's choice on a dropped 3rd strike? Huh. Thought for sure it was just an error. Edited April 20, 2016 by chitownsportsfan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought for sure it was just an error. This is wrong. Reaching on dropped third is a .000 for your average and OBP. A hit with a TOOTBLAN is a 1.000 for your average and OBP.

I kinda think he might be good. I don't recall Saladino hitting all that well in the minors, so my guess is that he'll be stuck in the utility role. That said, he's very good in that role and would be valuable to any team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought for sure it was just an error. Reaching on an error doesn't raise your OBP either. How long have you been watching baseball? OBP is simply (H+BB+HBP)/(AB+SF+BB+HBP) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
