Great to see King Cole was throwing great tonight. Way to come out of the gates in your redemption year, pal.

This offense is absolutely sick. The only weak spot looks to be Ibanez.

PhillyGirl · April 07, 2010, 10:27:31 PM

If Ibanez is done, is there a chance they keep Werth AND bring up D Brown?

a little too early to tell with that, don't you think?

PhillyGirl · April 07, 2010, 10:28:57 PM

he batted about .100 in ST

And he was terrible down the stretch last year.

PhillyPhreak54 · April 07, 2010, 10:31:03 PM

If Raul is done I think that have no choice but to keep Werth and bring up HOF Brown.

But...if they only have one weak spot and that weak spot can still hit .275ish with 18-20 bombs...that's cool. Because I would think they platoon him a lot more.

Sgt PSN · April 07, 2010, 10:33:46 PM

meh, we've seen it before plenty of times with plenty of players. when it's may 1 and he's hitting .200 then it's an issue.

and although it's only 2 games, chooch is spending almost as much time at first base as he does behind home plate. 3h, 4bb and scored a couple of runs. i think having victorino in the 7spot is going to give him a few extra rbi this year....assuming that vic doesn't fall off now that he's been dropped so far down the line up.

PhillyPhreak54 · April 07, 2010, 10:43:11 PM

I like Vic a lot in the 7 hole. Especially with the way Chooch has turned himself into a good hitter.

Lethal offense.

What's the rotation like for the Astros series? I'm trying to decide which game to go to.

i like him there too, but he's probably not going to see as many pitches with the 8-9 hitters following him up, so it's possible he gets frustrated with his new place in the lineup and goes in the tank. i doubt it, but it's possible. but yeah, on paper.....having him hit 7th can cause pitchers a lot of problems. especially if chooch stays patient at the plate like he has been so far.
