January 25, 200521 yr I just want Encarnacion off the team. Call it hate if you like, but I don't think he's a productive player. All-world all-tool talent and 4.3 forty means nothing if you have the plate discipline of Randall Simon and the contact hitting abilities of Rob Deer. He's below-average at right, even worse as pinch-hitter (and you just know he'd be the first or second man off the bench). We are better suited with Aguila as our 4th outfielder, and another hitter (a cheap lefty Greg Colbrunn character would do) 'pressing' Conine. 665559[/snapback] Couldn't agree more with everything you said... Dellucci would have been a pretty good Colbrunn type addition. I think our bench with our minor leaguers and Easley should be fine.. I would like another LH bat like a Delucci, or what have you, but I still would like a LH specialist in the pen. Encarnacion/Stokes for Ryan :whistle
January 25, 200521 yr Funny you mention that. General managers having been busting a nut over Encarnacion's talent for years. And... well... I leave the joke there, because it's lunchtime.
