Him pitching successfully in the NL is much more than a coincidence. He was almost physically done his last year in the AL. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vern Gagne 0 Report post Posted April 19, 2005 Clemens is the best damn pitcher of all time. And if the Stros start to suck, he'll be a Yankee at the trade deadline. The Yankees have nothing in prospects to offer the Astros. Clemens isn't going to be traded, unless he asks to be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mik 0 Report post Posted April 19, 2005 Hey Al, Encarnacion: Fluke start, or was the injured shoulder excuse not really an excuse? And Dontrelle just gives up a HR to Vidro to end the scoreless streak. Fluke start is in he is doing worse than expected, or better? Better. He has the second highest OPS on the Marlins, and a very Un-Encarnacion-like .362 OBP. That's also before tonight when he had a pair of RBI hits. He's been hitting in the 5 spot for the past two games, and actually producing there. It's remarkable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's been hitting in the 5 spot for the past two games, and actually producing there. It's remarkable. It's way too early to draw any conclusions. Right now he's hitting .256 (11 for 43). If he was 10 for 43, that would be a .233 batting average. He's reached base 18 times in 50 plate appearances, for a .360 OBP. If he failed to reach base two more times (once a week), his OBP would be back down to .320. So honestly, I do not know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bored 0 Report post Posted April 19, 2005 No they should trade him while there is a lot of hype around him for a good pitching prospect. His complete lack of plate patience will catch up to him. Come on 34 walks in 545 career at bats and .306 OBP? Bleh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

His complete lack of plate patience will catch up to him. Come on 34 walks in 545 career at bats and .306 OBP? Bleh. He can improve on that. In a full season, he'll hit you 35-40 homeruns a year, without a question in my mind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Czech Republic 0 Report post Posted April 19, 2005 Sandy Alderson is the new CEO of the San Diego Padres. Doesn't sound like big news, but he was a major architect of the late 80s Oakland A's and their success. Big proponent of on-base percentage uber alles and basing farm team call-ups and send-downs on that stat. Apparently San Diego's farm system isn't at its best, so Alderson should improve that. He's all over the first couple chapters of Moneyball. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Plus, I think he really likes being a Chicago Cub, and I fear that if he was traded, that nutball would set fire to Wrigley Field on his way out of town.
