    he does it on purpose, you dont want your 8 hitter taking a bunch of walks for the pitcher to make the last out in the inning. Thats exactly why I want him there, hes a smart enough hitter to realize that you need to take a different approach based on where you hit...just look at his stats last year hitting second. He took more walks, but it affected his batting average. I think Barrett is a great 8 hitter...especially with the rest of that lineup. I dont want Barrett making the last out, thats dumb. You dont want the pitcher batting leadoff. You want to know what is dumb? Squandering scoring chances with men on base by letting the pitcher hit, rather than a guy with a 280 average. What are you talking about? It's ridiculous to want your 8 hitter to swing at bad pitches, just so your pitcher doesnt come up with men on base. Are you serious? Not only are you blowing your chance at scoring runs in that particular inning, youre handicapping yourself into having only 2 outs to play with in the next inning.

    Hey Fred, in the last, say, 30 days, could you compare ARam and Lee? Aramis has to be close to Lee's numbers at least.

    What? Why? Dempster has been pretty good so far.

    We really just don't see as many "WHO HATES NEIFI NOW" posts anymore.

    I really, really am in love with Pawelek. I look forward to his boxes as much as I look forward to Harvey's.

    I'll never understand this obsession with Pierre. It's like some people just assume that he's really good.
  16. imb
    Just wait till he goes back on break.

    Hard to be patient when theyre calling strikes below your knees and above your letters.

    awesome Is Dunn the perfect hitter or something? He's a whiff machine, and I agree with what the Wiz said - good pitching can dominate strikeout prone guys and you'll find good pitching in the playoffs. Has Dunn ever been in seriously clutch situation with the Reds? Hardly. Skepticism of a lifetime sub-.250 hitter's chances in the playoffs seems pretty logical to me. All I'm saying is that Dunn would probably put up his normal numbers in "clutch situations". And his normal numbers are awesome. You see Dunn as a sub-.250 hitter. Fine. I see a guy with a .382 career OBP and .512 SLG. But I guess batting average wins. I see Dunn as a sub .250 hitter cuz that's what he is - that's reality. I remember slugger Andre Dawson not doing well in the '89 playoffs - maybe Dunn will be the new Mr. October, but it's natural to have reservations... as I have no unholy man-love for him. Why do you choose to look only at the batting average, and not the whole picture? I mean, you can make any player look however you want that way.

    I used to love Roberto Carlos. He could bend it like Beckham before Beckham could.
