It's just not that compelling to me.<BR/><BR/>Ad,<BR/>The purpose of the numbers wasn't to be dismissive of Frisco, I was simply trying to point out that the idea that he's going to significantly improve on his 2008 numbers doesn't hold much water.<BR/><BR/>I don't have a problem with him sitting in LF and at the bottom of the lineup, providing league-average production...we could do a lot worse.<BR/><BR/>Cy,<BR/>Adam "Three Finger" Miller could probably whip off some wicked spin on the ball with half a middle finger. Any mention of "Three Finger" will always remind me of "The Simpsons" softball episode when Mr. Burns' first choices for his team of ringers include guys from the 1920's, like Mordechai "Three Finger" Brown.Paul Cousineauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03490622970961409253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11805401.post-29982962210901509542009-03-09T16:15:00.000-04:002009-03-09T16:15:00.000-04:00at what point do you think miller sacks up and goe...at what point do you think miller sacks up and goes all ronnie lott on his finger?<BR/><BR/>the thought had to have crossed his mind. who knows, maybe he'd be able to invent a new pitch and be some sort of stud with part of his finger gone?Cy Slapnickahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10109399114263980881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11805401.post-15010597554183115522009-03-09T02:14:00.000-04:002009-03-09T02:14:00.000-04:00Certain smart Indians fans dismiss Ben because he ...Certain smart Indians fans dismiss Ben because he took away bats from Marte last year. They dismiss his first half as being lucky because of his high BABIP. <BR/><BR/>But they fail to mention that Choo had a similar BABIP in his half year of work, but you don't see anyone deriding him.<BR/><BR/>I'm excited for him to have a great year and then we can trade him in the off-season for more pitching. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12086517403805636663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11805401.post-34180797642728492322009-03-08T17:08:00.000-04:002009-03-08T17:08:00.000-04:00How can you not be legitimately interested in the ...How can you not be legitimately interested in the WBC? I am for anything that requires the Cleveland Indians to negotiate with the South Korean government.<BR/><BR/>As for the "Frisco Kid" I am totally comfortable with him in the line-up we have as long as he is not expected to produce anything more than what you would expect from someone hitting in the 7th or 8th hole.The A.G.Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06756562199306261964noreply@blogger.com
