    - Bowker has a much better track record of hitting in the minors than Ishi... - shikantaza 2010-07-31 14:32:19 (63 views)
      - Bowker is 27 yrs old! It's the same prob w/ Frands & Lewis - JoeDaddy 2010-07-31 14:36:15 (77 views)

        I'm just going to note his track record and that we'll probably get a chance to see how - shikantaza 2010-07-31 14:45:14 (56 views)
        
        Fred Lewis is Fred Lewis- he'll get hot, he'll get cold and he'll cost - JoeDaddy 2010-07-31 14:56:44 (72 views)
        
        yes... definitely a good idea to give up guys who can put up >.800 OPS for nothing - shikantaza 2010-07-31 14:59:05 (66 views)
        
        Let's give it some time... you're basing this on a small sample size - JoeDaddy 2010-07-31 15:07:56 (72 views)
        
        LOL... his career OPS is .784. He had a bad year last year over < 300 ABs - shikantaza 2010-07-31 15:13:10 (48 views)
    - And Ishi is a superior defender. Bowker isn't. - starburst 2010-07-31 14:31:27 (52 views)
      - Bowker had a chance of being a good hitter... Ishi doesn't - shikantaza 2010-07-31 14:32:47 (48 views)
        
        Ishi had limited chances this year, made the most of them and came through in key situations. - starburst 2010-07-31 14:37:44 (59 views)
        
        I really think we just have a different way of assessing players... - shikantaza 2010-07-31 14:42:39 (60 views)
        
        So how does your approach of relying on track records factor into your current assessment of - starburst 2010-07-31 14:51:34 (64 views)
        
        I don't love Bowker. I think he has a chance to be okay... - shikantaza 2010-07-31 15:09:13 (56 views)
        
        Plenty of guys have good track records in the minors but don't do it in the bigs. - starburst 2010-07-31 14:48:57 (65 views)
        
        exactly what Sabean said that made every prospect expert roll their eyes. - shikantaza 2010-07-31 14:57:58 (63 views)
