Los Angeles Angels @ Seattle Mariners GameThread, Jun 4, 2008 1:40 PM PDT

I wonder if they’d finally bench the guy if his average dipped below .200. He has gotten awfully close a couple of times, but each time he’s fouled things up by getting a hit or two (even worse for his possible benching, they’re clutch hits), and buys himself another week or ten days of playing time. I wonder just how long the Soth can continue to make excuses for him, saying he’ll work it out, etc. The fact of the matter is that he has never been a good hitter. He was a lucky hitter once, in 2006. When they keep saying they know he’s capable of more, it is very frustrating. The fact of the matter is that he’s probably not capable of more. Not at this point.

Look at his comps on baseball-reference.com. Just about every one of them (with a notable exception or two) completely imploded at his age.

Hi Ladybug

Spent yesterday down in SD watching the Cubbies kill the Pads. It was almost like watching a Mike Scioscia offense, with a pair of double steals in the game and a couple more solo bag swipes besides (Michael Barrett can’t throw out anybody). Except for the three home runs. I haven’t seen the Angels do that in a while…

Please go away Justin Speier. Your work here is done. And take Quinlan's half-inch fielding radius with you.

i do feel kinda bad for brandon wood

with all the up and down movements. kid hasn’t even got 100 carer at bats yet

I'd rather see Willits in LF

by UCIHalo on Jun 4, 2008 2:47 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs

Eh.

Casey’s first 100 MLB ABs weren’t so great either. Hopefully, Wood evolves and adjusts as he did.

luckily for casey when he came up he was up

brandon has had to split time with figgins/ izzy and Q. but in mikes defense it is tough to leave him in there when we have no offense production. maybe if everyone was playing well it would be easy to let him work through it. but the current stretch has tried everyones patience

I'd rather see Willits in LF

Yeah. He's working through it though. The last couple games have him taking better swings, getting the liner singles.

Looking at his BA splits for this season prior to that hit

.199 for the season
.169 vs. RHP
.159 @ Home

He’s getting almost $100K for every .001 of his @ Home BA.

by Brew Angel on Jun 4, 2008 2:58 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

Not pretty

55 K’s and 33 hits this year

i wonder what will happen to him after this year

some team might take a chance on him but i imagine it will be a short incentive riddled contract. some team like the rockies or padres perhaps

I'd rather see Willits in LF

or the dodgers?? they like their veterans, lol.

If they fire Ned Colletti, no

by scareduck on Jun 4, 2008 3:01 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

exactly.

I know you’ve been harping on Colletti (and Torre) for blocking their youth with vets for at least the last year and a half.

by S0uthie on Jun 4, 2008 3:04 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

He's not hitting that much worse

Than Andruw Jones did last year. Maybe 2 years/$34M? Does Ned C. read these threads?

by Brew Angel on Jun 4, 2008 3:01 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

This sucks...

New job and I keep missing the OPD guesses… I’m falling behind!!! Either way, go Halos!!!

everyone has been doing really bad. most people get a 0 a 1

willits

we need speed leading off thats why he starts him we have people hurt so he is our only hope

by surfpunk on Jun 4, 2008 3:00 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs

I wouldn't go that far

We have injured players, but I wouldn’t call Willits our Savior. I’m certainly glad he plays for us though. Hooray for a little bit of depth.

by S0uthie on Jun 4, 2008 3:02 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

i think if willits had gmj at bats he would be doing better

poor guy has spent most of the year on the bench
