Choo. Hart is terrible.

Who’s more valuable here on out Hart or Choo…..I understand the concept of stock down and up but how to tell whether Choo up= Hart down?

I didn’t mean that he had to be a slugger. I just think he’s quite a ways from reaching what his potential was supposed to be.

Maybe he’s just been unlucky so far.

You don’t have to mash to be valuable….Chris Davis is hitting homeruns like a 3rd baseman this year, but who has been better?

Looked at the PitchFX data for CC. Velo is the same as last year. He’s getting close to an inch less H-movement on his fastball, but he’s getting close to an inch more vertical movement. His slider is not going down as much (-.5 compared to -.9 last year), but I’m unsure that this really means much as his vert. movement was .7 on his slider in 2007. His changeup is the same as it was in the past.

His stuff is basically unchanged, in other words. I don’t know what his problem is.

“All of the sudden, Andy looks an awful lot like the highly-touted youngster the Pirates thought they were receiving last summer.”

Reallly? His .301/.372/.420 line is driven by an unsustainable .354 BABIP and 28.4 LD%. He’s walking a decent amount, but 16 BB’s in 201 PA’s is nothing special, certainly nothing like the highly touted plate discipline he had. And 2 HR’s is abysmal for a 3rd baseman, no matter how many doubles he hits. He still seems pretty disappointing to me.

If Manny Parra was to be reassigned, how would the Brewers replace him? Perhaps Brad Penny, but I see him going more likely going to the Rangers for catching. Parra is not helping the Brewers at all right now.
