Talk about a downer post!

I'll take a 548 at bat sample size over your 83 ab sample size anyday.

And whats this "3 years of at bats against select pitching"?

That makes no sense. I went to his ESPN player page, viewed the splits from 2004-2006, and those are his road splits over that period. Hardly "select pitching."

And sure the .298 ops isnt pretty, but his .446 slg is pretty nice.

And you act as if the difference between a .298 ops and a .350 ops is a huge deal but in reality its just an extra time on base every TWENTY at bats, and if he's the only low OBP guy in the lineup, we can deal with it. If he plays better defense than Zaun, and hits 20 hr for us, then I'm fine with it.

And as for the rest of our lineup, we have plenty of guys with good OBP. Reed, Overbay, Hill, Glaus, Wells, Rios, Thomas all get on base at a rate of about .350 or better.
