Ok, seriously, the DLee Power Apologists (LOL) need to stop. You are completely losing grip with reality. Until this day, he hasn't given a ball a ride at all.

He wont get close to 40 home runs (Likely wont touch 30 either) this year. That is an issue. But he will still be a valuable player.

 

I understand what you're saying, but the bolded statement isn't true. He crushed one the other day that the wind killed. Nonetheless, I won't begrudge those that are concerned about his power.

 

Crushed balls don't get killed by the wind. Plenty of opponents have managed to put the ball out into the wind this season. If the excuse is he can't power in through the wind, the sentiment remains the same.

 

If you want to quibble over crushed balls vs homers knocked down by the wind, fine. I concede. The point is that he said he hasn't given a ball a ride at all....with the last part bolded for emphasis. That isn't the case.

 

I partially share the concern over his power...

100 pitches for Lilly. I think it's Wuertz in the 8th

 

I think we should put Wuertz into the rotation. :oops:

 

God I love Wuertz in a way that only a man can feel.

I took given the ball a ride to be a euphemism for hitting a homerun. The fact is he hasn't hit a homerun. If people want to take solace in the fact that he can't muscle the ball through the wind when others have, go right ahead. But I'm concerned about the lack of power. This lineup isn't good enough to have Derrek just occasionally poke one out.

Actually it's amusing when you are drunk.
