Ian Kinsler has 20hr's this year while batting leadoff. But his average is only .253 and his OBP is only .331. Nevermind that he's 4th in runs scored this year...3 behind the leader, Chone Figgins. No, he should be lowered in the lineup immediately.
-
Bah. Why temper your enthusiasm? Why enjoy this to the max? You don't get a high quality QB, that's proven they can perform in the NFL at a high level, in his prime, via trade very often. I'm a Cubs/Bears fan...I'm used to disappointment. I can deal with that if it comes, but I'm enjoying the anticipation of this season as much as I can.
-
Sure...and I don't have a problem with moving him down while he's in this bad of a slump. But as far as overall, he's been one of the best Runs/AB leadoff hitters the last couple of years. I couldn't find those stats specifically, but just looking at the Runs Scored rankings the last couple of seasons, almost everyone that has scored more than him did so because they got about 200 more AB's...due to Soriano's injuries. He's no doubt not your "prototypical" leadoff hitter...but I don't think there's a lot of evidence that they do the job a whole lot better than Soriano (when he's not ice cold).
-
So a leadoff hitter knocking themselves in (not that Soriano has been doing that for almost 2 months) is unacceptable? Id rather have a leadoff guy that will consistantly get on base than 1 who will hit the occasional home run but more often than not K on 3 pitches or ground weakly to SS on the 1st or 2nd pitch. Will Kosuke consistantly get on base? Time will tell. Thing about Soriano is, when hes hot, Ill take him anywhere in the first 5 lineup spots, but when hes cold, I want him nowhere near the lineup. Soriano is 7th in the MLB in run scored from the leadoff spot. Isn't it kind of silly to complain about HOW he's scoring the runs? http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/stats/batting?split=109&league=mlb&season=2009&seasonType=2&sort=runs&type=reg&ageMin=17&ageMax=51&state=0&college=0&country=0&hand=a&pos=all&startDate=null&endDate=null&minpa=0

Holy cow....that's completely not what he said. He used 3 examples, then quoted the record when Soriano lead off. Talk about picking and choosing what you want to read. Really...you're just making yourself look worse. I'd say you're embarassing yourself, but I doubt you are.
-
All the other NFL players that are so faithful to their wives are really going to look down on him now.

I think you missed my last post, so I'll post it again, just to make sure you see it. (Actually, I'm pretty sure you don't read other posts, but oh well. It won't be because I didn't try.) Man that guy sounds so selfish, right?
-
You like it better when dumb posters don't get along? :)
-
If someone will take Freel, someone will take Miles, imo. You might still have to pay a good chunk of his salary, but maybe not all of it.

It's never REALLY done.... -
Only if he falls short of "Best Quarterback to ever play the game". Which is a title that I'm pretty sure is in the bag at this point. In all seriousness, I just expect him to be better than every Bears quarterback that I've ever watched play the game. I don't think that's unreasonable expectations.
-
My wife thinks I'm in for disappointment...cuz she thinks there's no way he can live up to my expectations.

I bet the owners drag out the approval until after the trade deadline. -
Fair enough. Just not sure why you would even bring up Bradley in that case. Why not compare the players you just mentioned instead?
-
i don't think he was suggesting that bradley be sent down or dfa'd. he was saying that's why fox would stay. i dont think he was saying Bradley should be sent down, just saying fox deserved to stay up Is there an echo in here? :) What's the point of making the comparison to Bradley then? Seems like if you wanna compare homer numbers, you can say that Fox has the same number of homers as Aramis in only 5 fewer AB's. Compare him to someone that has performed instead of one of the more disappointing players on the team.
-
I believe they were call the Miami Gators.... Doh...yep that's it.
-
Not really. Fox has options. Bradley doesn't. Not to mention the paycheck differences. Like it or not, that all plays a role.

His wife is fine. The woman that was found with him is someone else. Heard this last night on the radio while waiting for fireworks to start...thought maybe I mis-heard.

There is NO excuse for this train wreck.

Can you prove that his moustache DIDN'T win a championship? -
:yahoo: Peoria is on the road this weekend. Kane County. Nope, they are at Kane Cty Friday but then return home for the 4th and 5th... I'll have to go to the game on the 5th (no chance in hell I'm going to the one on the 4th). Ah...ok...knew they were there Friday...made the assumption it was all weekend. Oops.
