His BABIP is significantly lower, so let's hope so.<BR/><BR/>I'll take his .401 OBP anyday, but an OPS under .900 is supremely un-Pronkesque.<BR/><BR/>Here's to Pronk replicating his last 2 years with an absoulute tear, remiscient of Morneau's 2nd half of 2006.<BR/><BR/>Cheers.Paul Cousineauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03490622970961409253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11805401.post-38181342645401313162007-06-22T17:52:00.000-04:002007-06-22T17:52:00.000-04:00Uh, you all know the real reason why his bat has d...Uh, you all know <A HREF="http://www.jerrybruno.com/DJs/Scott_Jones/Images/Hafner.jpg" REL="nofollow">the real reason why his bat has disappeared this year</A>, right?t-bonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07557582144953901789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11805401.post-19090763485171809842007-06-22T16:59:00.000-04:002007-06-22T16:59:00.000-04:00.401 OBP is still nothing to sneeze at..401 OBP is still nothing to sneeze at.WCThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11016681045348633197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11805401.post-21548862880548756392007-06-22T16:13:00.000-04:002007-06-22T16:13:00.000-04:00One word: chance.

If he stays this way one month after the All-Star break, I will officially be concerned and attribute it to more than chance.<BR/><BR/>Hafner is too much of a pro (like almost all the Indians) to let the contract talk get in the way of his play.Voltairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10258794828672578619noreply@blogger.com
