Now, Chiro1523 (#102), go ahead and make your argument. But be sure to include, uhh, actual facts. Chris Snelling, minors:
.327/.398/.496 (.894 OPS) in 1594 ABs through 2005

Now, Chiro1523 (#102), go ahead and make your argument. But be sure to include, uhh, actual facts.

That means he just "wants it" more than Doyle does. Doyle hasn't "done what it takes" to get to the big leagues and Morse has. Morse will be a better player because he will do anything to get there. Plus Doyle went 0-16, he obviously sucks. #103 – Let me take a shot at that one:

It's nice to have friends and take advantage of the last good night of the summer. I was close enough to smell Kenji's stinky shin guard when he warmed up to bat. Some observations..... Meche's yakker was on for the first 3 innings. Incredibly tight spin. His untapped potential still amazes me but his inability to keep it together for 6+ innings consistently means I don't want to spend any cash on him this offseason. Doyle had to have heard me calling him Doyle when he went to bat. It would be really hard to work in front of 44k fans sitting a few feet from me, commenting on my ability (think hostile road crowd in the playoffs). Putz threw some great splitters during warm up but only threw 1 (that I saw) in the 9th. His splitter actually snakes its way to the plate instead of dropping. It's amazing to watch up close. Beltre had some classic Beltre at bats. Toronto fielded a series of 5' 9" skinny pitchers. The M's fielded a series of 6' thick legged pitches. M's have absolutely no patience at the plate. If you ever get a chance to see how the other 1% lives (Diamond club), do it. You'll probably never get closer to the players/game.
