March 20, 200519 yr comment_455513 I think the Marlins signed someone(Kevin Delgado maybe?) who is almost as good as Choi. Loosing Choi shouldn't hurt that much.

March 20, 200519 yr comment_455514 Sorry, but I really don't miss Choi, not at all. He just couldn't hit. I think a former AL MVP is an adequate replacement.

March 20, 200519 yr comment_455517 I miss Choi as well. For those of you that say he couldn't hit or that he sucks I don't know what you are thinking. The Dodgers misused him, hell Jack misused him. He wouldn't ever let him face a lefty. That trade was dumb as hell.

You want a .251/15/46 as your 1B, and don't give me that OBP crap...

March 20, 200519 yr comment_455523 The goal of a baseball player is to not make an out. Everything else good comes from that central goal. Like driving in runs for instance. Aside from that I think Choi will make an above average 1B in this league and he'll do it for peanuts for the next 3 (?) years.

The Dodgers screwed him over with 60 random at bats. That's pretty damn good for a rookie first baseman. And what is wrong with On Base Percentage? Its a great statistic.

March 20, 200519 yr comment_455527 yea, the trade sucked... having Delgado will be an upgrade but the trade still sucked Link to comment https://www.marlinsbaseball.com/topic/26258-i-really-miss-choi/?&do=findComment&comment=455527 Share on other sites More sharing options...
March 21, 200519 yr comment_455528 the trade only sucks if mota implodes. we upgraded at two of our weaker spots and only really gave up a starter. it sucked to lose penny. i could of cared less about choi. getting on base is nice....choi is supposed to drive in runs though. he had atrocious numbers in that department.

March 21, 200519 yr comment_455529 I miss Leeen!! Its not the same without him. I miss Choi too, but hey, we got Delgado. Thats good enough for me. I prefer Choi in Dolphin Stadium though. In baseball, you cant get attached because theres bound to be changes.

Whe m choi was up with a runner on, we knew he'd either walk or strike out. I rather have lo duca batting b/c although his OBP isnt as good as choi's hes a contact hitter, and in a game where a runner is on third with one out, making contact to the right side of the infield to drive i nthe run is better than drawing a walk.

March 21, 200519 yr comment_455532 Yeah Id have to agree with Legacy/Das. 1st basemen should be driving in people and hitting in the middle of the order. Personally, I think this OBP thing has gone a little too far IMO. Yes, getting on base is a great thing, but in reality that is a stat you should use to evaluate leadoff men, second basemen, etc. This exagerration of 8 guys with a .380 OBP is too much for me, but hey, im a traditionalist. Id rather have a 1st basemen thatll K 100 times but give me 120 RBIS, and hit for power and average(Delgado) than a 1st basemen that draws walks when he should be agressive. I still think it was a good trade. We brought in a back end reliever and a catcher for a hurting, soon to be FA pitcher and a VASTLY overrated 1b. Catchers are too hard to come by these days, and seeing a catcher being traded is a rarity.

Jack McKeon is a traditionalist and I dont think anyone is going to accuse him of lacking knowledge of the game.
