July 23, 200719 yr How many of the guys in the pen aren't ready to be pitching at this level already? Why not add another??? I mean healthy.
July 23, 200719 yr From ESPN.com Adam Dunn is cleaning up when he bats fourth, hitting .329 with 10 home runs. He's not so great batting fifth: .190 with four homers. Numbers also show he performs best in the 2 hole. .350 and 3 HR in only 20 at bats...
July 23, 200719 yr Numbers also show he performs best in the 2 hole. .350 and 3 HR in only 20 at bats...That's what makes it logical to hit him fifth :lol:
July 23, 200719 yr He's off the DL and pitching at AAA. He's healthy... $5 says he gets rocked his first outing.
July 23, 200719 yr $5 says he gets rocked his first outing. Who isn't getting rocked? Get him up here, get him some work and be done with it...
July 23, 200719 yr From ESPN.com Adam Dunn is cleaning up when he bats fourth, hitting .329 with 10 home runs. He's not so great batting fifth: .190 with four homers. Thats also a limited out of AB's, stretch that over a year and I think the results would be fairly similar.
July 23, 200719 yr Numbers also show he performs best in the 2 hole. .350 and 3 HR in only 20 at bats... He did that last year, when batting 2nd he had great numbers. Then when he was moved elsewhere he struggled. Just odd.
July 23, 200719 yr Who isn't getting rocked? Get him up here, get him some work and be done with it... I guess it really doesn't matter. I would reather have him at 55% than Ricky Stone at 155%,
July 23, 200719 yr Thats also a limited out of AB's, stretch that over a year and I think the results would be fairly similar. The numbers aren't as limited as you think. 85 plate appearances in the 4 spot and 158 in the 5 spot. 4th- 10 HR, 21 RBI, 15 runs, 24 hits, 9 walks and only 16 Ks 5th- 4 HR, 22 RBI, 17 runs, 27 hits, 25 walks and 49 Ks For that to even out he'd have to go about 3-80 in the 4 spot to catch up...
July 23, 200719 yr That is a little surprising. So then where do you want BP to hit 3? Would be nice to have: Hopper Dunn Phillips Griffey E-5 Gonzalez Hatteberg/Conine Ross Pitcher Course that leaves no place for Hobbs, but Hopper has some great speed and done a great job when he has gotten chances to start this year.
July 23, 200719 yr BP: 2 hole: 209 AB 35 R 58 H 10 HR 24 RBI AVG .278 4 Hole: 123 AB 18 R 36 H 6 HR 20 RBI AVG .293
July 23, 200719 yr I've never understood why no Reds manager will hit Griffey and Dunn 3 and 4. And don't give me that crap about splitting up the lefties.
