August 9, 200718 yr First I will tease you with that unreal footage. Once you have calmed down, take a look at what he is doing in Kansas City this season. In just 94 at bats (yes sample size alert, buzz off) he is hitting .362/.423/.426 with 6sb to 1cs In AAA this year, Joey Goggles was hitting .341/.457/.422 with 25sb to 8cs just 26 years old, if KC decides they may move him this year, I hope we go back to entertaining the idea of acquiring him atleast
August 9, 200718 yr ive wanted joey gathright over scott olsen for a long time now...with all due respect to scotty.

With all due respect to you Gathright never was and never will be worth a Scott Olsen. With all due respect to you, Olsen hasn't done jack squat. He's just an overated selfish, punk ass guy. All he does is get into trouble and fight his teammates.

All he does is get into trouble and fight his teammates. So your reaction to a 23 year old LHP who is struggling in his 2nd year after throwing 50 more innings in his rookie year than he ever had prior to that year who is still getting K's at an excellent rate and was one of the top LHP prospects in baseball for 2-3 years is to... trade him for a 4th outfielder who plays mediocre defense, has an arm weaker than Pierres, despite his speed isnt an exception base stealer, doesnt get XBH(84% of his hits have been singles), and has a career OPS under .700. And is 3 years older than Olsen. He isnt worth a Scott Olsen. A Ricky Nolasco? Maybe. But not a Scott Olsen.
August 9, 200718 yr Author 53 out 71 in the majors = .746 196 out of 256 in the minors = .765 75% is a pretty good rate for a base stealer... a career .319/.402/.369 hitter in the minors, he has a tremendous eye at the plate and great plate discipline and he rarely strikes out he's a pretty cool player and even though I like Scott Olsen alot (and I'm one of the few)... I'm still unsure of who I would rather have (personal issues included)

August 9, 200718 yr Should have jumped when we had the chance. With Sanders gone (probably for good), Gathright will be hard to bring in.
August 9, 200718 yr trade him for a 4th outfielder who plays mediocre defense, has an arm weaker than Pierres, despite his speed isnt an exception base stealer, doesnt get XBH(84% of his hits have been singles), and has a career OPS under .700. And is 3 years older than Olsen. He isnt worth a Scott Olsen. A Ricky Nolasco? Maybe. But not a Scott Olsen. Mediocre defense? No. Arm weaker than Pierre's? No. Stronger. 75% on the basepaths? Good basestealer. .419 OBP. It's not everyone's job to drive in runs, clown.
August 9, 200718 yr I wouldnt even take Pie or Young for Olsen, not to mension Gathright. Might as well throw in Milledge and Gomez. Give me the B.J. Upton.

You had never head of the Joey Gathright jumping over a car story befroe? I thought everyone had. i've seen that before but i'm a bit skeptical. but i guess i shouldnt be. either way its sick. Joey Gathright was signed by a scout who saw him jump over a car. I believe it was even written into his contract that he can no longer jump cars.
August 10, 200718 yr trade him for a 4th outfielder who plays mediocre defense, has an arm weaker than Pierres, despite his speed isnt an exception base stealer, doesnt get XBH(84% of his hits have been singles), and has a career OPS under .700. And is 3 years older than Olsen. He isnt worth a Scott Olsen. A Ricky Nolasco? Maybe. But not a Scott Olsen. Mediocre defense? No. Arm weaker than Pierre's? No. Stronger. 75% on the basepaths? Good basestealer. .419 OBP. It's not everyone's job to drive in runs, clown. Mediocre defense? Yes. He has been roughly average or below defensively whereever he has played. His speed doesnt make up for the fact that he doesnt judge balls well. Arm weaker than Pierres? Yes, one of the few that can say that. 75% isnt exceptional for someone with his speed. His OBP wont stay at .419. Once again, Joey Gathright is a 4th outfielder in MLB. Scott Olsen has the talent to be a #2. Gathright isnt worth Scott Olsen, now, then, or ever.

Scott Olsen "has the talent" to be a #2. Joey Gathright has the talent to be a leadoff hitter and all-star.
