July 8, 200421 yr FO if you are reading this, please release Lenny Harris, the guy is hitting .198 on the year, is not being productive at the plate, and is a waste of a roster space. The guy should retire now.
July 8, 200421 yr I agree. He costs too much money too - you could dip into the farm and get a guy to do the same thing Harris is doing. Dillon, Padgett...Harris is a luxury anyway - and that is when he produces. Right now, just taking up another roster spot. It is unfortunate because I like the guy...
July 8, 200421 yr I agree completely, he's becoming a waste of a bench space. I haven't seen him get on base in an eternity. We've been using Willis to pinch hit more often than Harris lately. I wish Wil Cordero could come back already.
July 8, 200421 yr We should trade him for the seat 12 in row 26 in section 232 in Olympic Stadium. I think the fish would be getting the better end of the deal though.
July 8, 200421 yr oo noo..bring up another pitcher but please..cordero was just simply horrendous... 445959[/snapback] Cordero is a million times better than he showed us and he was hurt anyway
July 8, 200421 yr But guys he's an experienced veteran just like Jason Grimsley and Roberto Hernandez!
July 8, 200421 yr Umm...Cordero would be a huge asset to this team. If he was healthy, of course. But in a way, I am glad he got injured because it forced Jack to play Choi more and speed up his development. But Cordero is a very good hitter and can be lethal to opposing pitchers. I hope he comes back in time for the playoffs.
July 8, 200421 yr Yea lets release the all time PH leader so someone else can pick him up and he can hurt us.. Yea he's wastuing away on the bench but they guy is the all time PH leader c'mon now.. If this FO wanted to do something friggin send down willingham or someone and bring up JOE DILLON
July 8, 200421 yr He may have more career hits than anyone else, but he's .258 as a pinch-hitter in career, with his OBP is .312!
July 8, 200421 yr Author I dont think he can come back to hurt us..his numbers as a ph this year suck
July 8, 200421 yr That's true, but at this point in his career you'd probably have a better chance of getting on base with Abraham Nunez bunting.
July 8, 200421 yr Yea lets release the all time PH leader so someone else can pick him up and he can hurt us.. Yea he's wastuing away on the bench but they guy is the all time PH leader c'mon now.. If this FO wanted to do something friggin send down willingham or someone and bring up JOE DILLON 446002[/snapback] I agree with releasing Harris or sending him down to AAA if he would accept that...he has a ring, he should know we are doing what we need to win, and right now he is not hitting like the PH king... As far as sending down Willingham...He looks good at the plate, I think he should stick around....maybe our next Mudcat Savior
July 8, 200421 yr I say put Lenny Harris as our 3rd base coach, maybe he can wave them when they're required to be waved around.
July 8, 200421 yr f this FO wanted to do something friggin send down willingham or someone and bring up JOE DILLON 446002[/snapback] well that did it... you are a fool Josh is 2/5 and has gotten on base 4/7 times yea, he is killing this team :thumbdown
July 8, 200421 yr Yea lets release the all time PH leader so someone else can pick him up and he can hurt us.. Yea he's wastuing away on the bench but they guy is the all time PH leader c'mon now.. If this FO wanted to do something friggin send down willingham or someone and bring up JOE DILLON 446002[/snapback] Send down Willingham? No way. He is doing well and I think the organization wants him to stay and be a big part of this team. I agree bringing up Dillon is a must. I assume there's a reason we can't send down Nunez. Actually..with all the talk about Willingham and his starting, it makes me think there will be a trade soon that will free up a permanent roster spot for him.
July 8, 200421 yr FO if you are reading this, please release Lenny Harris, the guy is hitting .198 on the year, is not being productive at the plate, and is a waste of a roster space. The guy should retire now. 445924[/snapback] Harris: BA .196 w RISP .095 Close and Late .000 When is Jack going to open his eyes and realize this guy is done. Why in the hell is he always the first guy off the bench? :thumbdown
July 8, 200421 yr Get rid of this guy......its time for him to call it quits....i think hes licking Mckeon's balls or something...if hes gonna take up a roster spot at least keep his fat ass on the bench.
July 8, 200421 yr I agree completely, he's becoming a waste of a bench space. I haven't seen him get on base in an eternity. We've been using Willis to pinch hit more often than Harris lately. I wish Wil Cordero could come back already. 445941[/snapback] The last time Lenny had a hit was in the series against the Tigers almost a month ago.
July 8, 200421 yr Yea lets release the all time PH leader so someone else can pick him up and he can hurt us.. Yea he's wastuing away on the bench but they guy is the all time PH leader c'mon now.. If this FO wanted to do something friggin send down willingham or someone and bring up JOE DILLON 446002[/snapback] "all time pinch hit leader" is just another way of saying "career bench warmer that had a mother load of opportunities to pinch hit". He already said he's going to be retiring after this season, might as well just let him finish out his career with the Fish and him just being around all the young guys is good for the team. The only possibility would be to have him retire early and just give him a BS coaching position like "assistant hitting coach". I just wish Jack would give Mordey some more pinch hit AB's and only use Lenny as a last resort.
July 8, 200421 yr jesus, some of u guys are unbelievable and just rude.... Lenny may not be producing, but don't call the guy names. He helped us out a few times this year and last, and keeps the club house nice and cool. Just lay off him.
