DeWitt :lol:

He's bad because of the Cubs? What?

He's bad because he sucks at baseball.

1. The Cubs gave him like AB a week to start the season just because that other POS Kosuke was being paid more.

2. He doesn't suck at baseball. ****, even Koyie Hill is good at baseball.

 

[Rice Cube]

Kosuke had a monster OBP and is a better defender. Can't really blame the Cubs for playing the better guy.

He should have had MORE playing time though, at least 3 or 4 starts a week between LF, CF, RF, and 1B... and then when we trade Kosuke to get Colvin at-bats, Quade still won't play him every day. :shrug:

If we want a high OBP and better defense, we should have just called up BJax.

That POS Kosuke is also better, so yeah...

He does suck. Koyie Hill also sucks. Koyie Hill not only sucks at baseball, but also finger counting.

So, if Koyie Hill and Tyler Colvin suck at baseball, you could beat them easily, right?

And the finger counting comments just gets an .

That's a different issue.

Why would we have called up BJax when we had Kosuke? That's just dumb.

Why are you always so quick to defend Colvin despite the fact that he is terrible?

I don't think BJax was ready. Plus he was hurt. Unfortunately Colvin just wasn't good enough to play. However, once he was called back up, they should've played him much more instead of playing Reed Johnson so much. Heck, play Colvin instead of Campana and leave Campana as a pinch-runner.

Did I ever say I was good at baseball? And how do I beat a single player at an 18 player game?

He was never really given a chance. And he sure wasn't terrible last year, no matter what ISO stat you throw out there.

Have I ever said he was terrible last year? No, I have not. But it's not hard at all to see that he played better than his true talent level.

The point is, if they sucked they wouldn't have even made their high school or college teams and wouldn't be in the MLB right now.

And baseball is actually a 50 player game, but I've played variations with just a couple people before.

He wasn't terrible last year because his ISO was so good. He was basically left-handed Soriano. This season he's had trouble staying consistent. Problem is that he has issues taking walks and has a hole in his swing. If he can fix that he'd be very useful because the power is nice to have in the line-up.

Disagree, he played to his talent level last year, and has played worse than his true talent level this year.

I don't think he's played enough for us to know what his actual talent level is. Would need to play him consistently over the next couple seasons to get a better gauge of his ability.

DeWitt is even more .

but IDGAF, I'll trade everyone on this team except for Castro, Cashner, Jackson, and Szczur.

 

[Jntg4]

Do you ever make a quality post?

You *really* think he is a player that's talent level is that of a .246 ISO? He never even came close to that in the minors. I call bullshit. However, I would love for you to defend your stance.
