JRoll is funny as shtein and is the vocal leader of the team.

He's not the best player, or the guy everyone looks to on the field to lead em.

Not the best player, true. But he's most certainly the captain of this ship.

yup...always has been

culminating with his team to beat proclamation and following it up with an MVP

Munson · February 25, 2010, 04:26:15 PM

He should have a better year with a true #2 behind him now. And having Victorino's average and speed towards the bottom of the lineup is a big plus after the black hole it turned into last year.

^ huh ?

i'm telling you, sean... dupont fumes.

smeags · February 25, 2010, 05:25:38 PM

yeah i didnt really know the leadoff hitter needed to be protected in the lineup.

Sgt PSN · February 25, 2010, 05:32:13 PM

i still think that victorino would probably make a better leadoff hitter and that jimmy would be much better served hitting lower in the lineup. i think the only reason jimmy is still at the top of the order is because he's the leader of this team and you don't bat your captain 7th.

I'm talking about when he's on base. Not having someone as baseball stupid as Victorino hitting behind him. He should score more runs/get more steals this year.

"better" doesn't always have to mean average, you funhole.

hey picklesniffer, are you just baseball stupid or stupid overall ? rollins' own deficencies as a leadoff hitter hold him back more than anything else.

st00pid is as st00pid does

Munson · February 26, 2010, 04:36:59 PM

You're speaking in strictly average and OBP. Having a smart hitter behind him is going to move him over more often into scoring position for the 3 and 4 slots, and give him better protection when he's stealing.

Go farg yourself, anal wart.

ice grillin you · February 26, 2010, 10:37:15 PM

victorino had more hits...double the amount of walks and 30 pt higher on base number than polanco last year...so where is polanco going to drastically help jimmy

with grit and choke in the 3 and 4 holes it basically renders the phillies #2 hitter irrelevant...no matter who hits there they are going to get ridiculous pitches to hit...and with that being the case i think id rather have victorino who not only crushes polanco in on base avg but also way out slugs him
