I still maintain Slappy or even, Eckstein will hit a HR before Lee does.

 

That has nothing to do with how many he will hit this season.

 

Neither does the rest of the thread.

 

Why does it matter when he hits a homer? He's still hitting well and that's all that matters. This is overblown.

What does that have to do with what gflore said?

not really... it's not uncommon for players to lose power after a wrist injury. If Lee goes from a 30-40 HR threat to a guy who can't hit 20 HR, that's a big deal.

Comparing him to Juan Pierre or David Eckstein is ridiculous. Even if both of those guys hit homers tomorrow it wouldn't prove that Lee can't hit home runs. When their names were invoked it was to make a point about Lee having very little home run power.

No one compared him to them, give me a break. Someone said he thinks they will hit a HR before he does. That's not even close to the same thing.

Let's not get carried away. Lee hit 40+ homers once. if anything, he's a 28-30 (maybe 35) homer guy to begin with.

Then why name two extremely light hitters? You give me a break.

he hit more than this in 2003, 2004 and 2005... way more in 2005, and in 2003 he played half his games in a pitcher's park. He has hit 8 HRs in 67 games the past year-plus... that's a concern.

Because it's more dramatic than naming two average hitters? I mean, how many name players in the league don't have a HR already? You're just looking for an argument, and you picked a dumb one. Move on.

I don't have to "move on." The "argument" is that Pierre and Eckstein will hit homers before Lee. My point is it doesn't prove anything about his power (or lack thereof). If Pierre hits a homer tomorrow, and Lee doesn't, what does that prove? Absolutely nothing.

Was the guy trying to "prove" anything? Not everything someone says on this website needs detailed analysis. Move on.

Are you directing traffic on this message board? You're the one looking for an argument. If someone makes a point I have every right to disagree and if you don't like it you don't have to read it.

You really want to keep talking about this? You hit triple digits today in posts, a new personal best!

 

You can disagree with someone's post all you want, but it only makes you look stupid if you pick a dumb one to argue. It's not like the guy is making some deep philosophical post on the state of the Cubs front office or something, he said he thinks two crappy players will hit home runs before Lee does, it was just hyperbole and it's definitely not worth your consternation.

 

But then again, you didn't get to 7,000 posts in 2 weeks by not posting.

I'm glad you're keeping a tally. You must be an undercover mod. Oh wait...

If you aren't going to be serious, then I'm done here. I thought we were having a detailed statistical conversation here.

You're the one who jacked the thread by telling me to "move on." You're not a moderator.
