Adam Lind Could Be Traded

295 hitter against rightys is s***?

sorry i would take that all day with gold glove defense and the lack of strikeouts and stupidity on the field.

What was the quality of those hits?

 

Adam Dunn .238 Avg >>>>> Ichiro .320 Avg

[Angrioter]

So far only one respondant believes James Loney is Toronto-bound. Other possible destinations: Brewers, Rays, Rockies, Twins, Nationals, White Sox, Pirates, Mariners. An interesting assortment.

 

Replacement level players play a replacement level teams.

you also have to take into consideration that Loney was an everyday player last year, whereas Lind was platooning quite a bit. If Loney was platooning his stats would look a lot better as he is a 220 hitter against lefties.

 

WTF? He hit .299 against lefties last year and is a career .256 hitter versus them.

Lind hit like a motherf***er against the righties; He's a lethal weapon in the right hands

[Frenchsoup]

sorry i got stats mixed up .299 career avg vs righties .256 against lefties so not to bad. The guy put up a .348 obp which is acceptable.

The only problem is the way this roster is constructed your not going to be able to get a proper platoon mate with derosa there.

[Frenchsoup]

yep .286 against righties .219 against lefties. The back of Lind scares me, he had a really good year this year, but i think it's time to sell him off and get a little something for him.

[John_Havok]

Lind 58 wRC career vs LHP, loney 83

Lind 125 wRC career vs RHP, loney 113

 

It's really not that big a difference overall, but clearly both of them are no better than a platoon bat that should only face RHP, and if that's the case where you're going to get a lefty masher platoon partner, you might as well stay with the guy who hits RHP better.

solid pitching and defense is what wins championships.

 

I didn't know Tim McCarver posted on this board.

[gruber92]

Lind platooned with a good right handed hitter with EE at first will be more productive overall. The question is will AA find a solid right handed bat that can mash lefties? If not,i would prefer Loney as our everyday first baseman with EE DHing 75-80% of the time. EE scares me when he has to start a DP.

[Boxcar]

You seriously believe that decreasing projected offensive output by 10-15% so you can try to add 5 runs to your 1B defense is a sound strategy?

 

Like a great baseball mind once said, "you can't win simply by outscoring your opponent."

[gruber92]

Bottom line is this team has to increase its baseball IQ and improve its defense before anything else. Lind being primarily a LH DH shouldn't damage the team much,because he's as dumb as a stump. If the likes of a DeRosa or equivalent is our RH DH option,then i'd rather have Loney's baseball IQ and solid defense combined with a .290 / .340 type line drive bat in the line up everyday at first base.

[Angrioter]

Is Gibbons the right hands?

 

Gibbons isn't Maddon but he's a good manager. I respect him as a manager (old school but modern)

wuuuuuut he used OBP. Good job!!

[Dick_Pole]

Too bad Rajai is gone because this problem was already solved this year. Except when you have an 8-man BP and an injury-prone team where both Davis and Lind have to start...doesn't get implemented.
