Why? Geoff Blum is a valuable Left-handed hitter off the bench. He can pretty much play anywhere on the field. He has some power in his bat, and he puts the bat on the ball. I love his versatility. hehe, no offense to your idea, but every phrase of your post is a "bad player" cliche. :) I said he has some power in his bat, and he puts the bat on the ball. When putting the bat on the ball results in an out over 70 percent of the time, it's not a valuable skill. Blum's OBP for the past three years: 293, 296, 266. He also doesn't have much pop either. Slugging over the last three years: 366,345, 348. For those numbers, we might as well let Cedeno have that spot. He's just as versatile as Blum. And the person who compared him to Macias was right on the money. Macias' OBP in his last three years: 274, 293,273. Macias' SLG in his last three years: 316, 376, 353. No Blum has no value. He's pretty worthless when it comes to evaluating a major leaguer. he can't even play in the heat of summer.
