This team sure can mash when the game's out of reach.
But when they need a clutch hit, forget it. Hope someone asks Phillips about the 4 LOB today.
This team's offense is truly terrible
seriously. where do they have LOB statistics for team and individuals?

he can
hit the ball out of the infield and plays smarter defense than freel

So you are saying we resign Castro
and put him in CF right?
Norris Hopper's #1 fan!!!
defensively, he's better than the other two
offensively, he’s one of the worst in the majors at doing the most important thing in baseball. in 2005 he had a -16.8 VORP. That means he cost his team 17 runs compared to a replacement-level hitter. On his career, he’s right around 0. He’s not good.

given the 3 choices
I’d take Patterson. he is the best of the 3 defensively, a better base stealer (provided he ever gets on again). I’d hit him 8th
but the best move is bring up the Bruce

didnt freel strike out alot when he started everyday?
patterson may not have a high OBP but he doesnt stikeout as much, which is good for a leadoff hitter
"God has blessed me and I will continue to do my best for him. This is more important than anything I could do in baseball." -Albert Pujols
no, strikes don't mean squat for a lead-off hitter
His primary job is to get on base. Patterson has shown no ability to do that in his career.

i disagree with that
you raise your chances to get on base making contact with the ball, while striking out gives you no chance what so ever
"God has blessed me and I will continue to do my best for him. This is more important than anything I could do in baseball." -Albert Pujols
Wrong again.
If there were a leadoff hitter who struck out 60% of the time (i.e., about 400 times a season) but got on base the other 40% of the time, he would be a pretty good leadoff hitter.
At least it wasn't Grady Little.

really?
I’m not a fan of Freel in the lead off spot either. The edge, in my mind, he has over Patterson is in Versatility
Hope Springs Eternal! Go Reds
I don't want any of these jokers leading off
but in comparison, yes, I’ll take Freel given their career averages. Patterson’s speed and little extra power are nice, but over the course of a season Freel will be on base about 35 times more than Patterson will.
There’s no versatility that makes up for that kind of drop.

mike piazza had a pretty high OBP would you bat him leadoff?

well, Piazza OBP right now is actually pretty low
but it’s still 23 points higher than Patterson’s. That should tell you something.

.318 .364 .571 .935
leading off an inning for Piazza. Corey ain’t even close
Hope Springs Eternal! Go Reds
well in 1995 his OBP was .400
but he had only 1 stolen base..would you bat him leadoff?
"God has blessed me and I will continue to do my best for him. This is more important than anything I could do in baseball." -Albert Pujols
but how many teams in baseball
bat a person with 1 stolen base a year in the lead off spot? All im saying is OBP doesnt mean everything
"God has blessed me and I will continue to do my best for him. This is more important than anything I could do in baseball." -Albert Pujols
the Reds in the 70's
had a guy named Rose who didn’t steal many bases. He never stole more than 9 for the Reds in a season in the 70’s. But that worked out ok
Hope Springs Eternal! Go Reds
actually in 1979
pete stole 20 bases
"God has blessed me and I will continue to do my best for him. This is more important than anything I could do in baseball." -Albert Pujols
and 1977
he stole 16
"God has blessed me and I will continue to do my best for him. This is more important than anything I could do in baseball." -Albert Pujols
how many years did pete bat
leadoff?
"God has blessed me and I will continue to do my best for him. This is more important than anything I could do in baseball." -Albert Pujols
Pete Rose
Batted leadoff in 2313 games (though not all for the Reds), and only had 125 SBs in those games. Unlike any recent Reds leadoff batter, however, he had an OBP of .379 over that span.
and
piazza had the team high obp that year, (besides castro who batted 23 times) and did he lead off?
"God has blessed me and I will continue to do my best for him. This is more important than anything I could do in baseball." -Albert Pujols
you realize that stealing bases is not sound strategy don't you?

No, I'd want his 1.000 OPS
batting bedding behind Jose Offerman’s .389 OBP and Eric Karros’s .369 OBP.
If you gave me 1995 Mike Piazza vs. whenever you want Corey Patterson and said I had to take one and bat him lead off for 162 games, I’d take Mike Piazza, fill the rest of my lineup with Yadier Molina-bots and beat the Corey Patterson Versatilians 162 games to 0. Mercy rule each game.

i would bat him off leadoff because with 40 hrs a year, i would want a chance of having people on base when he hits them. And if he batted leadoff wouldnt he get less walks therefore lowering his obp?
"God has blessed me and I will continue to do my best for him. This is more important than anything I could do in baseball." -Albert Pujols
*wouldn't
"God has blessed me and I will continue to do my best for him. This is more important than anything I could do in baseball." -Albert Pujols
I wouldn't bat him leadoff
but you might be interested to know that going into today, Corey Patterson has had 2 more plate appearances with men on base than Dunn, even though Dunn has had 12 more plate appearances overall.

because it seems
whenever dunn gets walked intentionally, there is a man on second, and the team would rather face someone else, and i dont think that would happen as much batting leadoff
"God has blessed me and I will continue to do my best for him. This is more important than anything I could do in baseball." -Albert Pujols
He has zero intentional walks this year
and his walk rate is the highest it has ever been. And most of that time he has been batting in front of the hottest batter on the team.

PlaybyPlay dude for Cardinals just put Hrabosky on the spot about what a “professional hitter” actually means.

so to answer you question chandrathan
whenever dunn gets walked intentionally, there is a man on second, and the team would rather face someone else, and i dont think that would happen as much batting leadoff

How many of Dunn's walks a season are IBB?

Nothing against andromache
But that comment highlights why a distinction like that is akin to winning “Beauty Queen of Urbana.” It’s gotta be someone.

so what you're saying is, he would get more opportunities to hit home runs, since his walk total would be down (a tiny bit)

less than ten percent of his walks are intentional

or more opporunities to strikeout
whatever floats your boat
"God has blessed me and I will continue to do my best for him. This is more important than anything I could do in baseball." -Albert Pujols
or more opportunities to do whatever he does
which is get on base at a .380 clip, which is 100 points higher than Patterson.
But at least Patterson’s outs look busy busy busy!!!

strikeouts mean nothing with nobody on base
It gets crazy on the road, and awful lonely. That's why I love pornography. This next song is all about my love of hardcore, barely legal pornography.
they also mean nothing with people on
"God has blessed me and I will continue to do my best for him. This is more important than anything I could do in baseball." -Albert Pujols
They don't mean double plays
only 5 of Dunn’s 22 SO this season have come with a man or men on base. He has a .421 OBP with men on and has 0 SO with runners in scoring position.
Corey Patterson has 6 total SO this season. 5 with men on, 2 with runners in scoring position. His OBP with men on is .282

when you say "barely legal"
do you mean based on age, or acts performed?

Good use of time.

I would take Hopper
for this reason…he is my favorite player!
Norris Hopper's #1 fan!!!
Somewhere, in a dimly lit room
Juan Castro looks at a letter sent to him by his ”#1 fan, Zach!” and a tear rolls down his cheek. He reaches for a bottle of whiskey to take a hit, but he totally misses his mouth.

Game Recap
Harang- This years Matt Cain?
Offense- ugh they only hit when Edison is pitching
Shoe Maker- I agree with Paul H he is an annoying little shit
Norris Hopper's #1 fan!!!
I don't disagree with much that JD offers..
..but the Reds Pythag puts them at 13-17. And that’s only one win away from 14-16.
And I think if we were at 14-16 there wouldn’t be so much navel-gazing going on.
I’ll say it again..
