May 10, 200719 yr I'd agree when you're facing AAAA players. But when you're starting in the games and playing for your job, it matters.
May 10, 200719 yr meanwhile, they say Reggie will play vs lefties... why!?!?! in AAA vs righties: .317/.380/.634 vs lefties: .143/.250/.143 "It works better for the club," Gonzalez said of going with Abercrombie over Reed. "We needed a right-handed hitter, and Reggie can hit against left-handed pitching. He fits better. Not only does it work better for the club, he deserves to come up." Yeah, he can hit lefties. His .143 BA proves it. :banghead :banghead :banghead :banghead :banghead :banghead :banghead :banghead
May 10, 200719 yr Yeah, so why is Reggie's official picture on floridamarlins.com still a picture of Hanley?
May 10, 200719 yr mmmmm, two Hanleys.... Yeah, I was thinking perhaps they killed the real Reggie Abercrombie and replaced him with a clone of Hanley. If the front office found a way to make Hanley clones then nothing can stop the Marlins from winning the world series.
May 10, 200719 yr I've said it before, but just for reminders: Reggie is the sh*ttiest sh*t since sh*t came to sh*t town. He is a zero tool player. He cannot hit for average, he cannot hit for power (because he can't hit), he can't throw (because he never hits the cut off man), he has no speed (because he doesn't know how to steal), and he can't play defense. Other than that, he's great. Don't get me wrong, I hope I am proved spectacularly wrong and he turns into a healthy Eric Davis or something, but I am not going to hold my breath.
May 10, 200719 yr I miss Reggie. He was actually doing okay in AAA, but still striking out like a madman. Maybe they wanted someone who would fit in.
May 10, 200719 yr meanwhile, they say Reggie will play vs lefties... why!?!?! in AAA vs righties: .317/.380/.634 vs lefties: .143/.250/.143 So you're telling me that we basically don't have any CF options that can hit a lefty with Ross on the DL. Sweet!
May 10, 200719 yr Yeah, so why is Reggie's official picture on floridamarlins.com still a picture of Hanley? Wishful thinking.
May 10, 200719 yr We are back to the 2006 season CF situation! I hate this! Might as well put Billy The Marlin in CF...we might get better production and better defense!
May 10, 200719 yr Although I've never been a big fan of Reggie's previous performance, I don't necessarily disagree with this decison. His numbers in AAA are solid and considering the holes in the outfield right now, I can't see too much damage in giving him another shot. I suppose we'll all see how he does tonight, well, this afternoon. I love these east coast day games...
May 10, 200719 yr Eh, its not like Borchard or Alfredo are all that amazing out there. Reggie can at least play right field until Ross gets back.
May 10, 200719 yr Well, if Reggie played RF it'd at least be funny to watch him K rather than agonizing over Borchard
