Because he is the best option to face RH pitching and play 3B on this team as it currently stands. And nobody in the minors is even close to being ready. -
Broncos select Isaiah Pead, RB Cincinnati

bastard

yes, vitters. And yes it is entirely possible that baker is our best 3b (considering offense along with d) stewart is a good defender but he hit .153 last year and seems to be heading that direction, he has never hit .260, hit 20 hrs once and he is a career .235 hitte (in colorado even) his career fielding is lower than bakers(not the best stat to decide) and baker had a .270 career average coming into this year doing the hardest job of hitting by pinch hitting and spot starting with no one else in the lineup that is a proven hitter at all, yes, it is entirely possible that Baker could be the 2nd best...who do you go with ? soriano at .274 career and .244 last year, dejesus .84 career, ,240 last year, byrd .279 career .276 last year? or barney and Lahair..young and unproven-small sample sizes. bottom line is we have a bad, bad lineup and a career untility guy could very well be our 2nd best hitter. holy run-on nonsensical sentence batman. You can start by not using batting average all over the place. And if Baker starts until Vitters is ready that would be really stupid. Baker is a nice RH bat off the bench. That is all he is. Let him start vs LHP and pinch hit. Nothing more.

Wow, that was two years ago already? Yeah, that offense was atrocious. Ichiro was the only regular with an OPS over .700 (and he was just .754). Russell Branyan was the best hitter on that roster. Defense and baserunning baby, that is all you need to win.

Maybe a little. But Dempster isn't going to have a sub 2.00 ERA all year either. They decided to go with guys who can hold their own but everything behind Garza was a question coming in and the final answers to those questions will be hard to ascertain. They actually have the 10th ranked starters' ERA right now (thanks to half their starters' innings coming from Dempster and Garza), but they are dead last in relief. They don't have any good relievers beyond Russell.

Byrd looks like he's driving himself insane.

You believe Jeff Baker is the best 3B and 2nd best hitter? What "kid"?
-
Huh? He's got like a .315 OBP and 700 OPS. What continue?
-
hey, a soto liner that isn't an out. sweet
-
that wasn't even close
-
LaHair put a ball in play, and got out.
-
Sadly it was only 3.2 IP this time. that was the 4th? oops
-
byrd played that almost as poorly as the camera man
-
so from an unnecessarily long debut that is almost a complete game to a pretty meh 2nd start to a 4 2/3 inning walk filled uggo fest.
-
we're in year 3 of waiting mode already.
-
You never heard anything about Prior's problems with the Cubs organizations?
-
very walky today, and with what appears to be a huge zone
-
With a faster guy than Stewart, sure. But it's a huge risk. You now start the inning with leadoff man, but risk starting the next inning with the 8 hitter.
-
That 1st strike to Shark was even more outside than the earlier strike 3 to Barney, but ball 2 to Dejesus was a fastball that looked like more of a strike than both of those.
-
Marlon's OPS might double with this IBB
-
castro looks to have an effortless swing and it still gets to the 3B in a hurry. That was harder hit than the single in the first.
-
that was funny kyle hay, runs!!!
-
I don't want to be the guy who sarcastically claps at a sac bunt that actually works. So I won't do that.
