February 4, 200422 yr With the loss of Encarnacion and Derrek Lee and Pudge we have much less speed than last year. Does Choi have any? I doubt it. Are we going to lead the NL in steals this year? What do you think?
February 4, 200422 yr we should lead in SB(Luis+JP+any others) Castillo will be back to old form Im confident that we will be fine
February 4, 200422 yr Author (Luis+JP+any others) Thats the problem though, there are no others. The others were Juan Enc, DLee and pudge 2003 stats: JP - 65 SBs Castillo - 21 SBs Lee - 21 SBs Enc - 19 SBs Pudge - 10 SBs everyone else on the team had 3 steals or below Jack is going to send someone besides JP and Castillo Gonzalez? Pinch Runner would have to be Mordecai or G Williams if he makes the team
February 4, 200422 yr We didn't rely on running a bunch after Jack took over anyway, and we started winning more too. I'm not concerned.
February 4, 200422 yr gonzalez cant run only on the bases he can. and no torborg means less running now. i dont think we will lead but i think juan p can reach 55-60 and luis 30-35. other than taht conine and lowell will be next with like 5-10 stolen base. we lost allotta speed dood.
February 4, 200422 yr Author We didn't rely on running a bunch after Jack took over anyway, and we started winning more too. I'm not concerned. yea right Jack knew he had speed and he definitely used it.
February 4, 200422 yr We didn't rely on running a bunch after Jack took over anyway, and we started winning more too. I'm not concerned. yea right Jack knew he had speed and he definitely used it. Look at the SB's when Torborg was managing and then look at them when McKeon was managing. Steals went down alot. Half the team was on pace to steal 20 bases when Jack took over.
February 4, 200422 yr other than taht conine and lowell will be next with like 5-10 stolen base. we lost allotta speed dood. Lowell has to be the second slowest man alive, behind Mike Redmond.
February 4, 200422 yr he can still steal 3-4 base dood... its going to be like thisss pierre castillo conine lowell in stolen bases from most to least. then after lowell come teh rest of the team.
February 4, 200422 yr I think Miguel Cabrera will steal about 15 next year depending if he is a smart base runner :mischief2
February 4, 200422 yr Seeing that Pierre should steal more than half the league alone, I still see us in the top 5.
February 4, 200422 yr we will be ok. We have enough speed. Plus yes speed is important but hey we have enough so don't freak out guys. Um...o yeah! JP is gonna have a better year than last year might be on the all-stat team and castillo will be back to his oldself.
February 4, 200422 yr Pierre, Castillo (with a rested hip!), Gonzalez, Conine (not fast but smart), with Valdez, Nunez, Hooper and Christensen competing for jobs. McKeon will win with that.
February 4, 200422 yr Author Valdez, Nunez, Hooper and Christensen.... How many SBs did they get in the minors? Are they Quick?
February 4, 200422 yr As long as we got Pierre we'll be alright. That boy can haul ass, and steal bases at the same time.
February 4, 200422 yr Valdez hadd 33Sb and 9CS for the Topes along with 16/5 with the Mudcats Abe had 9/4 with the Topes Hooper had 25/9 with the Topes
February 5, 200422 yr in my opinion there is no question that speed is no problem. Besides Pierre last year, I think we were hurt some with the stolen bases. I am referring to Castillo. 21 sb, 19 cs in my opinion probably hurt us more than helped us by far.
February 5, 200422 yr Author Lowell is faster than Gonzalez? lowel steals more than gonzo dood Dood there is no way Lowell is quicker than Gonzo DOOD Dood you dont go to yale dood
February 5, 200422 yr i didnt say quicker. i didnt say faster... i said steals more dOOd hmmmm well lets see past 2 yrs gonzalez 2002 - 3 stolen base 2003 - ZERO stolen base lol lowell 2002 - 4 stolen base 2003 - 3 stolen base thats 7 stolen base for lowell in 2 yrs and 3 for alex OWN3D
