fringe Posted April 18, 2011 Author Share Posted April 18, 2011 yeah he overachieved as far as im concerned. i didnt like that trade when they made it. looks like ludwig's a similar case we were trying to replace uribe instead of getting a shortstop. i would've been fine with a light hitter with more range and arm. that position is important for that pitching staff. as for ludwig, he suffers from lackapujol, further comlicated by lackaAgon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herc Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 ask for belt, they like cody ross better anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fringe Posted April 21, 2011 Author Share Posted April 21, 2011 ask for belt, they like cody ross better anyway he's got to learn to lay off the inside pitch and to play right field. can't do that in the majors. he'll be back. i would trade him though. never did like tall, lanky hitters much.

Herc Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 i think belt would've come around sooner rather than later. the 8 walks are encouraging, i thought he had some good ABs despite the BA. i'd trade bumgarner before belt personally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herc Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 well he slugged .620 with 23 hrs and 112 rbi in 136 minor league games and made the team after only one year in the farm so i think he'll turn out to be more than a singles hitter. but i bet we can count richie sexton's singles on two hands think maybe he was rushed up too soon. 136 career minor league games isn't a lot and i'm not sure how to feel about him crying in bochy's office when he was told he made the team. still, i'll take a young potential slugger with discipline over a young potential slugger who strikes out too much like mike stanton all day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
