May 12, 200917 yr The bottom line is this, Rosales has played in 30 major league games and has 1 error.
May 12, 200917 yr Wade Boggs was the poorest fielding 3rd baseman in the league ...When was that true?
May 12, 200917 yr Author I am not worried about Edwin's career numbers against lefties. I am worried about his career numbers against righties. He hits right handed after all. OK, you've totally lost me. :lol::lol:
May 12, 200917 yr Author When was that true? In his early Boston days. Go back, and look at his numbers. http://mlb.mlb.com/stats/historical/individual_stats_player.jsp?c_id=mlb&playerID=111153
May 12, 200917 yr OK, you've totally lost me. :lol::lol: Sorry! I may be lost too! I know we are all for the Reds to do well. I have to keep that in mind sometimes. I just think Nix has earned the right to play every day in Left for a month just to see how he handles it. If it doesn't work out then platoon him with Hairston or whoever. I also think that Rosales has earned the 3B job until further notice. His bat is good, his glove is bad, and his arm is good, and his hustle/spark is great for this team. If Edwin does come back, maybe this competition will be good for him. His bat is normally good, glove is good, and arm is not very accurate sometimes. His hustle, or lack there-of, stinks often, and I think most Reds fans are sick of it.
May 12, 200917 yr Very convenient you left out those 26 BB's. That improves that OBP a bit don't you think? The Reds also aren't paying any of their LF's 14 million dollars this year. If they were, there wouldn't be any talk of a platoon. I agree.
May 12, 200917 yr In his early Boston days. Go back, and look at his numbers.I've seen the numbers. Boggs made a few errors, but his range factor was consistently above the league average when he was in his 20s. Boggs had a rep early in his career, partly because he was such a good hitter and because he succeeded Carney Lansford, whose glove had a better rep. But he was never the poorest 3B in the league.

I don't know about poorest 3B in the league, but 27 errors in one year isn't very good.
May 12, 200917 yr Not even close ... Not even close is strong. Rose may not have been the best pure hitter of all time. The "Hit King" is his label, not given by me obviously. Ted Williams Ty Cobb Joe Dimaggio I would put Rose in there right below Williams.?.? What say you? :popcorn:

May 12, 200917 yr Author Elaborate please! :clap: He'll name several more players that were better hitters than Rose. Albert Pujols is a better hitter than Rose.

What say you? :popcorn: Pete Rose isn't in the top 10 hitters in the game ... how about Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Mickey Mantle, Willie Mays, Barry Bonds, etc.? Yes, Rose has the hit record, thanks in part to his selfish insistence on putting himself into the starting lineup as a player-manager when the Reds had other (and better) options. Give him props for the record, but there are plenty of other guys who were better hitters than Rose.
May 12, 200917 yr The student nights at the reds games...is that college students, high school students, or both?
