June 7, 200620 yr Reggie's last 10 games: 37- AB's 3-Runs 7- Hits 0-Homers 2-RBI's 0- Walks 15-K's .189- Average. Not good at all. He K's about 40% of the time. Borchard's last 10 games 15- AB's 6-Runs 8-Hits 2-Homers 5- RBI's 5- Walks 2-K's .533 Average. :mischief2 This pretty much says it all :thumbup 10 games says it all???? My ass. What has Reggie done to show us he is a ML player? :lol What has Borchard? Holly go look at Borchard's career stats. Does Borchard K every other AB? Does Joe swing at pitches 3 zip codes away and then stare at 3 pitches right down the middle? IMO Reggie just doesnt look like a ML player. You may not agree but thats what I think. Right now Borch has a better average... pretty much the same RBI's/Homers as Reggie but Borch has done this in almost half the AB's as Reggie. :whistle Reggie k's every other at bat? You are comapring apples to oranges. You cannot take 70 at bat's, and have that overshadow a career of sucking. Reggie has a much higher ceiling then Borchard does also. Let Borchard play an entire season (not 70 at bats) before you making him a starter. Also if you think Hermida's legs will hold up in CF for a season, then honey you are on crack. He may be able to do it once in a while, but not everyday.

There is no way he is fully healthy. I mean, no one purposely runs the bases like Kirk Gibson.

June 7, 200620 yr You cannot take 70 at bat's, and have that overshadow a career of sucking. . Right not he just doesnt seem to fit in the Major Leagues. I am done with this...I am going to watch the game.
June 7, 200620 yr And yet, Borchard for his career is no better. So that line of thinking makes no sense.
June 7, 200620 yr You cannot take 70 at bat's, and have that overshadow a career of sucking. . Right not he just doesnt seem to fit in the Major Leagues. I am done with this...I am going to watch the game. Do you remember him tearing it up in May? He is inconsistent, alot of young players are. Meanwhile Borchard has been consistently bad. It really is a mute point because Borchard plays the same position as Hermida, not Reggie. No chance in hell Hermida can play CF everyday. And yet, Borchard for his career is no better. So that line of thinking makes no sense. For once, I agree with Spike.
June 7, 200620 yr Reggie tearing it up in May... .272 average. That is not tearing it up. Its just my opinion guys geez chill out! :thumbup .
June 7, 200620 yr Reggie tearing it up in May... .272 average. That is not tearing it up. Its just my opinion guys geez chill out! :thumbup . 65 points higher the Borchard's career average. :thumbup
June 7, 200620 yr Never seen Holly engage in an arguement like that. I think you touched a nerve FeLo.
June 7, 200620 yr Reggie tearing it up in May... .272 average. That is not tearing it up. Its just my opinion guys geez chill out! :thumbup . 65 points higher the Borchard's career average. :thumbup I thought rookies were streaky hitters? One month blah and one month woohoo! So that doesnt matter.

Its just my opinion guys geez chill out! :thumbup . 65 points higher the Borchard's career average. :thumbup I thought rookies were streaky hitters? One month blah and one month woohoo! So that doesnt matter. huh? They are, but you said .272 average not tearing it up. Then how bad is Borchard's .205 career average?
June 7, 200620 yr Reggie tearing it up in May... .272 average. That is not tearing it up. Its just my opinion guys geez chill out! :thumbup . He also had a .780 OPS which is respectable(Juan Pierre is a career .720 guy)
June 7, 200620 yr Career average is not an appropriate benchmark when a guy has had less than 400 ABs in five years in and out of the bigs in all kinds of circumstances, some favorable and some not so. The only relevant comparison between these two players is their performance this season and in just about every category Borchard wins out. Personally I don't think either one has a long everyday career with the Marlins, but so far Borchard has shown he is more adaptable. He can switch hit, he can come off the bench and produce. Abercrombie on the otherhand has underachieved at every level, especially for someone who has been branded with the five-tool player stamp. That said, I can't argue with the point that Borchard isn't an everyday centerfielder, because he isn't. And I'm not sure Hermida is either. So in order for Borchard to play someone else has to play away from his favored position, which is not good.
June 7, 200620 yr Did he suck tonight? 0-3 3K's Im pretty sure he took 2 pitches in 3 at bats (totally made that up)
June 7, 200620 yr Due to tonights game, and the fact that he has sucked his entire career, Borchard should sit on his ass while Abercrombie gets the majority of the playing time. You dont yet have a big enough idea of what you'll get from Abercrombie...as for Borchard, well, I wouldnt be upset if he went away all together.

June 7, 200620 yr I dont hate the guy. I am sure Borchard is a nice fellow. But he is the used car salesman type of baseball players.

So in order for Borchard to play someone else has to play away from his favored position, which is not good. I want to try and save this thread based off of this comment. I'm drunk, so please, bare with me.... I dont think hermida should be our future CF....he's our RF, period. I dont think either Reg or Borchard should be a future stater for the marlins, not from what they have shown. My point is that niether figures in to our future plans, so our concern should be "which guy will help us as fourth outfielder when we have our contending team". I feel that Reg has shown that he has no chance at being this guy. give borchard a chance, what better option do we have? Marlins2003 feels ( and please, correct me if i'm wrong) that it will be damaging to hermida's future if we put him in center while we bench Reg. I just dont see this as the case. Hermida has served admirably after being on the DL....he's played center in career....he's young, he'll play anywhere, all he wants to do his hit the ball.....i just dont see a temporary position change being a big deal....i'm sure you have played ball....outfilelders that can move like him dont care where they play. This is just about testing all of our players. Throw out careers stats, Let's jsut see what these guys can do NOW. There is nothing to lose. Borchard should be playing over Reg now. Period. Reg doesn't deserve the benefit of the doubt anymore
June 7, 200620 yr Espicially when you look at pretty much every other game Borchard has played. He is a bad ballplayer. If Borchard is bad then what word shall we make up for Reed and Aguila? :mischief2
June 7, 200620 yr I dont hate the guy. I am sure Borchard is a nice fellow. But he is the used car salesman type of baseball players. This coming from a guy who insists that Miguel Olivo is a below average defensive catcher. (And I dont want to hear about how he dropped the ball on a play at the plate tonight, one play does not a player make). I like Reggie. But when Borchard is batting I feel like there is a chance he will reach base. Like previously mentioned, comparing them is senseless though because Borchard is not a CF and we dont have anyone that can cover as much ground as Reggie in CF. \
June 7, 200620 yr I am not in love with Abercrombie, but I think he is the best available option we have right now. I'll take Abercrombie over Borchard, Reed, Aguila, and Ross. I don't think Abercrombie is our CF'er of the future, but I can't think of any other names to that fit that role either.
