Cut it out, or go away. It really is that simple.

Are you trying to troll or do you really have no idea what you’re talking about?

I have a very strong idea of what I am talking about, unfortunately it does not hue to the company line so it looks like I am trolling.

Do a real comparison of Sexson and Kotchman – they get there in a bit different way, but Richie’s career OBP is better and Kotchman has no power. I don’t make this stuff up.

I see Z making a point that Kotchman didn’t strike out much and of course, Sexson did strike out a lot. But at the end of the day I have to say, so what? A guy who grounds out and hits more poppers than Sexson, but has a full one hundred points lower slugging percentage. Sexson was a more productive hitter than this guy has been. Even in his four pitiful years for the Mariners Sexson’s numbers were .244/.334/.474 – one could quite easily argue that these numbers are better than Kotchman’s .269/.337/.406. I would certainly rather have Richie’s numbers. And remember, Richie was a decent fielding 1st baseman also.

So I really am serious when I say we now have a powerless Richie Sexson type player. The numbers say I am right.

I suspect someone will ultimately ape about the difference in salaries between the players…but again…is that really up to you? Richie did better for himself…why is that any skin off your nose? Kotchman is cheaper, because his value is less. Not saying that Sexson was not overpaid – he was, but as far as on the field product…Richie Sexson is a better player than the new guy we just installed at 1st.

And that sucks.

I thought that was pretty obvious by now.
