Don't forget his defense though

No amount of 1B defense

makes that OPS look real good. He needs to hit better, period.

by t ball on May 4, 2009 11:52 PM CDT up reply actions  

Again, no arguing that he needs to hit better than he has

But he has been worth 3.5 runs so far at 1st base. That is by far the best for 1B and should not be overlooked.

he has to hit better and i think we all agree with that

Uh, yeah,

that’s obviously what I meant. He’s on pace for like 260 Ks. I’m not in the K’s are evil camp by any means, but if he is striking out that much, his OBP will never cross the .300 line.

by Gdawg on May 5, 2009 10:34 AM CDT up reply actions  

Over the course of a season, though

You’d much rather have offense than defense from your 1B, obviously. Last night Davis was good at both, but so far this year he’s been lacking at the plate. A .693 OPS is just not acceptable from a 1B, no matter how good his glove is. He’s 23, though, so I think we can expect him to pull out of this soon as he adjusts.

I've watched this play about 20 times

and 10 he’s out, 10 he’s safe. The ump was so charged by the play, he called him safe, but if there was ever a tie, this was it. Unfuckingbelievable play by Andrus and stretch by Davis. Pitching and defense, baby. A safe call wouldn’t have surprised me a bit. We would just be saying what an effort by Andrus. Instead, we win, they lose.

OT: they have to change the way the All-star game is voted on as well. There can easily be a system to pick players. And…definitely not the way the NFL does it.

that's the problem

Pedroia gets way more ballot stuffing from Boston morons than we could ever give for Kinsler, but we need to do what we can, and hope that the rest of the country can see that Kinsler deserves it.

do you vote all Ranger, best player at that position this year or best player period like Adam.

by BigGuns on May 5, 2009 8:29 AM CDT up reply actions  

I usually vote best player at each position

Though I’ll admit to not voting for guys who are big D-bags (ie, Tex, Youkilis) no matter how well they’re performing. I also try not to vote for any Red Sox, Yankee or Angel players if I can.

But voting all Ranger kind of defeats the point of the entire thing – especially last year, when we had Ben Broussard and Frank Catalanotto on the ballot at 1B and DH.
