Hooray. Nonononono, you don't need any speedy hitters at all. It's a luxury and you are overrating it's value. WAY down the list of things you look at when determining batting order. Thing is, Walker is a superior hitter to Cedeno in every aspect of the game. Again, we want Walker getting on base and hitting for extra bases, not taking hittable pitches so Pierre can risk an out with his less than amazing stealing prowess, not bunting or grounding out on purpose to advance runners. You don't need any speedy hitters at all? So you think the Pierre/Castillo combo was crap? (I just showed how silly your point of view looks) Common people, what I'm trying to say is that a speedy WITH good OBP 2-hitter is better than a slow one. I dont need a Porsche. That doesn't mean that it's crap. I just showed how silly your post was. Bad analogy. A Porsche doesn't score runs. Can Walker make pitchers nervous when he gets on base? NO. Jesus Christ, give me a break. A Porsche doesnt score runs, thanks for the tip, I forgot I was talking about the BASEBALL PLAYING SKILLS OF A SPORTS VEHICLE. Oh wait, I wasnt. TT said that you dont need speed, that its a luxury, you said that he called it "crap" which he didnt, I was just pointing out that "flaw" in your comprehension "skills".
