Rest of Baseball - 2012

[QB Eagles]

joey votto has not popped a ball up since 2009 and in his entire career only has one foul ball thats gone into the stands

Insanity. How is this stat not rattled off every time he comes to the plate?

[Don Ho]

WTF?  Are you serious?  That is one hell of a feat.

[BigEd76]

On the foul ball one, he's only pulled it into the stands once, which means he never swings early on pitches inside.  He's hit a bunch of them straight back or opposite field, or pulled grounders foul.

On the infield popup one, he didn't do it at all in 2010 and hasn't done it yet this year, but he's done it 3 times in 2009 and 2011 combined.

Sick of posting the same shtein in the Phillies thread?

[BigEd76]

Carlos Lee vetoed a trade to the Dodgers then accepted one to the Marlins.  huh

The Venezuelan connection is strong on this.

[SunMo]

he didn't have a choice on the Marlins trade, they weren't on his limited NTC

[Geowhizzer]

He's a 5/10 guy.  I'm pretty sure that he had to approve any trade per the basic agreement, regardless of contract NTCs.
