Poll to come.

Yesterday was HRs, today I am looking at average. .300 is considered a bench mark number, but I don't want to hold anything against the guys who just miss it. .290 isn't a bad mark at all. So who will it be.......

Edit: Not sure how many at bats should be the minimum to qualify.

Okay. I'll play along, but only if there isn't a poll tomorrow about HBP. :)

I wish this poll question was changed to .400. In that case, I would vote no Orioles. Markakis, Roberts, Wieters and Huff should all four hit .290 or more as that is nothing to write home about for any hitter.

...

Okay, real post:

I think that Roberts and Markakis will definitely do it. I'm on the fence about Wieters, but I think he can pull it off. Huff hit .304 last year and while I don't expect him to repeat quite that high, I bet he can scratch out a .290

An awful lot of people think a rookie with no major league at bats is going to hit .290...

FYI, Soto hit .285 and Longoria hit .272...

And Weiters was rated a better hitter than both them. Weiters is more of a pure hitter. Not to mention Longoria battled that wrist injury during his rookie season.

Soto has a career MiLB avg of .279, Longoria .301

Wieters, .355

What really has me on the Wieters bandwagon is the 82/76 BB/K ratio.

Agreed. I think Markakis will hit .290, but I don't think he'll hit .400 so I didn't vote for him, even though I think he'll hit .290, just not .400. I voted for Roberts and Wieters to hit .290 (but Markakis won't hit .400).

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By btdart20 · Posted

      Actually looking at FG current Board, HK is among the highest speculatively tradable players.   Spencer Jones if the Yankees Yank.  De Paula for LAD.  Delauter on CLE.  (Extreme out of the money option: TBR did a big roster reshuffle selling and buying.  How fun would that be?!)

      Which is also why so many good hitting kids in cold weather baseball/hockey states hit LH-because they were LW's in hockey.

      I guess your goal is to "Agitate, agitate, agitate"? If it gives you satisfaction to try to annoy people while saying 'look at me." Good luck with that! I feel sorry for you dude. I have showed a lot of restraint as it relates to you. But I stand on what I said as fact. I will acknowledge that I went against my better judgment in the first place by responding to you when I strongly suspected what you were trying to do. You got me...lol But now I'm done.  I hope that you get the attention and affirmation that you so desperately crave. There's better ways to go about it though. Good luck and God speed!

      They faced very good pitchers Saturday through Monday.  This isn’t a softball team you don’t throw your 9 best offensive players out there regardless of their ability to play defense.  The Orioles have  plenty of offense.  Mateo is also a way better defender than McCann.

      If he doesn’t struggle in the MLB earlier this year…is never called up, still in the minors, do you think you’d still feel the same?

      Yep.  Now, I do agree with Tony talking about the twitchiness but that is also more important in football and basketball than it is baseball. A guy who was a great athlete was Chris Davis.  I didn’t want to re-sign him but honestly, I never would have thought he would drop off like he did considering how great a shape he was in, how well he moved and just how athletic he was. He didn’t have that body that said, you will burn out fast. It’s not about that in baseball.  Obviously, if you can be an amazing athlete and great at baseball things, like Gunnar, it puts you on a different level than basically everyone else..:but you don’t have to be that great athlete to be a great player.    And btw, even the guys we look at and say they lack athleticism, are still amazing athletes once they get to the highest levels. You can be some sloth like turd and become a pro athelte.
