This is why I don't understand the sports casters.

We are gonna get the production we lost from Holliday just from a healthy Helton, and Spilly/Fowler instead of Willy T. Add in the predicted jump in Iannetta, Tulo, and Atkins…..we’re fine.

by roxintober on Apr 8, 2009 3:06 PM MDT up reply actions  

You can even argue we'd be better

With the production spread more evenly throughout the lineup, there’s no easy innings for the opposition.

Eh, nothing abnormal

You’re right, they’re still bad swings. He’s just not a very good batter. Decent power and good pop….when he makes contact

Baseball players are smarter than football players. How often do you see a baseball team penalized for too many men on the field?

Dang it!

I sat Stewart on my Fantasy team because I figured he wouldn’t start against the lefty. I should have known better.
