vs. WHITE SOX, 9/07

[weams]

On first pitch swing.

Brian Roberts.

That doesn't look correct to me.

Valencia vs. righties: .025 HR/PA (20 HR in 797 career PAs)

Valencia vs. lefties: .030 HR/PA (12 HR in 397 career PAs)

And the splits are even more extreme-- .628 OPS vs. righties, .869 vs. lefties.

Valencia is a very nice option against lefties. There's no need to overexpose him by trying to make him hit righties, too. He's shown he's not good at it.

My bad - I was looking strictly at this year. He has 3HR in 32 AB'S vs Righties and 4HR's in 68 AB's vs Lefties.

No way i send Chen back out for the 6th he's done. You got enough people in that pen to cover 4 innings.

He isn't done but I do agree I would have a shorter leash than usual with all these pitchers and the rest.

No, he's a number four. And we want to make him a number two.

Not too kind at all. Chen is pitching well today but running into some high counts. He's limited the damage but probably won't go deep. He seems to run out of gas between 90-100 pitches. So, the people calling him a #1 or # 2 are way off. He's not dependable enough for that, too reliant on our BP when he pitches.

Every once in a while he can surprise you though.

[Don Quixote]

Cool....

[weams]

Doing what he do.

[v4npro]

Jones double.

[sportsfan8703]

Here we go. Time to get that lead. Please someone tell me that wasn't Mcfarland getting loose in the pen last inning.

[O's84]

OK Jones make me look good.

Well here we go. Come on AJ.

[scOtt]

He's a solid 4 who will pitch like a 3 for stretches.
