    I don't see why so many people feel that JJ Hardy should be in the lineup next year but that Gywnn isn't good enough to be in the lineup. Niether of them were world beaters in the minors but both had solid minor league careers. Hardy and Gwynn had similar batting averages in the minor league careers. Hardy had a better slugging pct., but Gwynn kept a higher on base pct. Hardy had a better strike out rate, but Gwynn had a better walk rate and much better speed. JJ struggled out of the gate in the majors, but Gwnn has been doing just fine. My point is that one of these players isn't that much better than the other, yet JJ seems to get loads of support in this board, while Gwynn is rarely shown any love. Gwynn, I think has a better chance of being in the lineup next year because he only has to worry about beating out Gross and Clark for a job, while JJ has to beat out Bill Hall.

    I think Gywnn will do just fine as our starting Center Fielder next year, assuming we don't get Carl Crawford.

    Crawford is just about the only guy I'd want to trade Yo for. The Devil Rays need pitching, and we could use a guy like Crawford. Yo is young with a huge upside, but so is Crawford. If we could land Crawford in a trade and sign Jason Schmidt in Free Agency, I'll plan on skipping all of my evening class next October.

    I thought it was a great episode. The Jim and Pam thing has been going on forever, so you kinda had to expect this. The Michael kissing Oscar thing was a little wierd, but its totally Michael. Great Show.

    So, anyone else think we should just resign Ohka and try to deal Davis?

    I feel that the OBP stat is somewhat overrated when it comes to leadoff hitters. The prototypical leadoff hitter is a guy who gets on base at a high rate and steals bases, but there are few leadoff hitters in baseball that actually fit this discription. In the AL Central for instance (arguably the best division in baseball), of the top three teams Luis Castillo carries the highest OBP for leadoff hitters at .353. While that's good, its nothing special. I think Gywnn can make up for his lower OBP by being a good base stealer as a leadoff hitter. By stealing bases you give the team a better chance of scoring runs(moving himself into scoring position) and saving outs (fewer GIDPs). I think Gywnn has Juan Pierre upside and I think that will be just fine.

    Nice to see Villanueva making a strong case for a spot in the rotation. His success will give Melvin a lot of flexability this offseason.

    Has anyone else noticed that Geoff is starting to hit the ball?

    Solid line for Tomo tonight.

    Brewers win. Why do they constantly tease us with these flashes of brilliance?
  15. giffted1
    Ugh, why don't the Brewers win games anymore? Looks like Sarfate pitched well, probably the only good thing about the game.

    Other Game Note JDLR - 5IP 6H 2ER 3BB 3K against Twins He's had a couple good starts and a couple forgettable starts for the Royals.

    That idiot Jamie Wall running for congress. I'd vote for him when pigs fly.

    I'm just looking at gameday. Why was Clark taken out of the lineup? Edit - Nevermind, got it.

    Tomo does it again!!
  23. giffted1
    The Simpson's prophecies have come true. Tomo will be an elite left handed hitter.
  24. giffted1
    Tomo!!!

    How is it a good win when Jenkins plays?
