vs. ATHLETICS, 5/07 DH Gm.2

[WEAVERMAN]

Big hit time Caleb.

[eddie83]

Hopefully.

Just saying what I am seeing right now.

Buck hit him 2nd tonight.

[scOtt]

notfast where are you?

[eddie83]

When did Flash turn into Vince Coleman?

[BradyBunch]

Hopefully.

Just saying what I am seeing right now.

True, but I think the more pitching he sees, the better he'll be. Unlike Rickard who has a skill gap that's now showing.

[scOtt]

When did Flash turn into Vince Coleman?

Or even Joey Rickard?

[BradyBunch]

When did Flash turn into Vince Coleman?

Same time Caleb turned into Rickey Henderson.

Rickard has an experience gap. He has skills.

[Chavez Ravine]

I don't like the Ichiro comp, Ichiro doesn't work the count or walk very much. More like Nick without the doubles.

And a sound neck. He needs those doubles to come around though to stick, I think.

Buck hit him 2nd tonight.

I'd be heartened by that but...Hardy.

[WEAVERMAN]

Take a BB.

[Can_of_corn]

Rickard has an experience gap. He has skills.

Can you explain his aversion to hitting the cut off man?

[scOtt]

Hahn!!!!!!!!!

Rickard has an experience gap. He has skills.

Yes. And I think he will still provide value even if he is moved out of an everyday spot. Think he will be a good player over the next 6 years.

Rickard has an experience gap. He has skills.

I know it is early but my biggest disappointment with him has been his defense. Unlike Lough he takes pitches and I think he can steal a little. He needs to fine tune his glove game.
