[ice grillin you]

hes hitting over 20 pts below last years avg and every other stat is virtually identical to last year....i think hes due for a raise

Lidle says he meant to say that he felt everyone wasnt behind him near the trade deadline.

His OPS is 5 points higher than last year. 

OBP>BA

Burrell was, I'm sure.  He's a team player with a great attitude.  Glad to have him aboard.

[ice grillin you]

I suppose you would want Big Papi over Pujols then eh?

right now absolutely

but this is an irrelevant question you ask because pujols is good in the clutch where as burrell is an embarrassment

so with papi and pujols you actually can make an argument cause they are both great

howard vs burrell is not close as howard hits better than burrell pretty much across the board

Yea, I heard he would even change his position twice if the organization asked him to.  What a good guy.  O wait...

like i said give him a raise

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

His only true position is DH.

Damn straight.   

Still not worse than last year though. 

[mpmcgraw]

Agreed. 

BTW guys anyone remember when that cancer Howard told the Phillies he would not play left field?

He doesnt care about the team.

[Rome]

Okay, now I'm confused.  What does OBP > BA mean in the context of this discussion?

He's clearly not coming through in the clutch and he's been getting pitches to hit all season long with Howard sitting behind him.

He can't play the field anymore, he's not the least bit aggressive at the plate during situations when he should be and still after almost seven years in the league chases pitches that someone of his ilk and experience should not.

Plus, he's injury prone and his attitude apparently sucks.


Yeah, I agree with IGY.  GIVE HIM A RAISE!!!!1111111111

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

I'd rather have a team full of Brett Myerses than a team full of Pat Burrells.

[ice grillin you]

now youre making up stuff as you realize how silly you have sounded

howard absolutely tried to play LF...in spring training he worked there for two years...and he sucked ass...the team knew they couldnt in good concience put him out there and then traded thome

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

I think Burrell should play catcher.

[Rome]

Please tell me he was being sarcastic with the Howard/LF thing...
