September 19, 200521 yr hermida is 3 for his last 19, hmmm..... lets hope he can start getting a hit here and there 953741[/snapback] he is used to ABs everyday.... it's tough for these young guys coming off the bench
September 19, 200521 yr It is tough for everyone coming off the bench to have a lot of success. But you can only play 9 on a field at one time.
September 20, 200521 yr It is tough for everyone coming off the bench to have a lot of success. But you can only play 9 on a field at one time. It's tougher on the youngsters who have never come off the bench, as opposed to veterans who have done it before.
September 20, 200521 yr Not sure if that's true. I think a player who has always started would have trouble watching the game and learning from the dugout, but once they get in they'll see little loss in ability.
September 20, 200521 yr even before sea bass got hurt i didnt want em back 4 next year anyways...... i was hopin we might go 4 furcal.... if not i have no problem with andino........ wha eva happned to wilson valdez?
September 20, 200521 yr I'd much rather have Gonzalez next year simply because you KNOW what he brings to the table. With Alex getting surgery, we should have morr leverage in contract talks, and he should end up with a contract like he had before... about 2-years, $6 Million.

I thought he was a .240 hitting 18-20 homer guy with sick D meanwhile the power aint there this year... and the average is up...
September 20, 200521 yr Author Every game Andino just keeps showing he has what it takes to stay in the big leagues. He's come up with some big hits and he's made some pretty nice defensive plays. 952750[/snapback] every game? This is just his 2nd start. :blink: 952788[/snapback] Don't look at starts, it's a deceiving stat. He's come into numerous games to play the 7th, 8th, 9th, etc. and also that game where he came in during the 2nd inning and played the whole thing, wasn't a start but nonetheless he did very well. 952926[/snapback] No offense, but I think I've seen EVERY stat now, at least once, referred to as a "meaningless" or "deceiving" stat. So long as it fits their argument, that is. Not hating on you, but seeing that made me think of all the other times "overrated stats" have been mentioned. 953414[/snapback] Was what I said not the truth? You can play in game after game after game without ever making a single start, therefore total starts is a deceiving stat especially in this case. If you want to see his real major league experience, then look at total number of innings played, not games started.
September 20, 200521 yr Damion doesn't only play SS, he can play any position we ask of him in the infield like third, first and second base.

If you want to see his real major league experience, then look at total number of innings played, not games started. 954840[/snapback] That's a sound argument (and for the record, I'm inclined to side with the go with Andino argument) but even more important than innings played is attempts. To my knowledge, Andino didn't even get a real attempt until Saturday's game, and while he shined, he hasn't had the ball hit to him all that often. What good is innings played when you're kicking dirt around?
