Damn. I was hoping to have a line up similar to what we had last night. I understand the lefty/righty thing, but we should be giving Ruggiano more of a chance. Especially considering our right fielder is currently Gabe Gross.

There is no Gabe Gross hate. He just isn’t an answer in RF. Ruggiano at least has the “potential” to possibly be the answer. Gross just doesn’t. There is a reason why the Brewers basically traded him for a bunch of bats. He is a good bench bat and spot start, but not a near everyday starter.

by matthan on Jun 10, 2008 9:53 PM EDT reply actions  

Good, because he's not an everyday starter for us.

Did you know...

That Gabe has the highest slugging percentage on the team since May 1st? He’s hitting .271/.346/.529 since the beginning of May.

He’s a perfect platoon player and should be used that way. I don’t think he’s a bench guy. He’s a platoon guy and should be in left against righties until he proves otherwise.

Do not think that what is hard for you to master is humanly impossible; but if a thing is humanly possible, consider it to be within your reach.

by Orlando Rays on Jun 10, 2008 10:00 PM EDT reply actions  

Hence the word “near”. You do realize he hasn’t hit higher than .250 since 2006? If you extrapolate the portion of the season he wasn’t with us to the percentage of the games played for the rest of the season it would be his all time high. He has never hit more than 10 home runs in a season. Only hit higher than .251 once, which is really bad considering he has been a platoon player his entire career.

Point being is he is playing way too much and is definitely not a short, medium, long term answer in RF.

Perhaps maybe Ruggiano could do better? He couldn’t be much worse than Gross’ historical numbers.

He should be a defensive replacement and a once every couple weeks spot start.

If he can turn his career around here and become a much better player then that would be great. But he has yet to show that he is anything more than exactly what he was in Toronto and with the Brewers.

My hunch is that Gross just isn’t very good, and his problem isn’t conceding strikes. Where did you get the idea of swinging at first pitches? Oh thats right, you are one of the people that have trouble reading. You do realize that not every first pitch is a meatball down the middle? For all your hate on Edwin Jackson you should realize that people actually throw things called balls.

Do not blame me if you are unable to comprehend the difference between a strike and a pitch. I understand you were reading fast and responding faster. But you are trying to talk trash based on something you fabricating in your mind. You simply look pretty foolish in doing so.

Please explain...

Why is Gross not the perfect platoon player against righties?

Also, why are career numbers important when we are looking at how a player will do in the future?

BTW, Gross career vs. righties is .256/.351/.425

by tallyray on Jun 10, 2008 10:08 PM EDT up reply actions  

The perfect “platoon” player would be hitting more than .256.

by matthan on Jun 10, 2008 10:08 PM EDT up reply actions  

We should be able to find someone in professional baseball that can hit more than .256 against righties.

Using batting average as your metric is your first mistake.

by R.J. Anderson on Jun 10, 2008 10:10 PM EDT up reply actions  

This I agree with.

average correlates with runs scored at about .6. OBP around .9 and OPS around .95.

Average is far and away the worst way to judge a player, maybe only better than by strikeouts.

by tallyray on Jun 10, 2008 10:11 PM EDT up reply actions  

OBP tells you average and some.

Really BA is unnecessary.

Really?

And slug more than the .529 he has this past month.

A OBP > .350 means much more than a .250 batting average…

Sure if he was Adam Dunn. But he isn’t. You realize that the most he has hit is 9 home runs in a season? Historically you are lucky if Gross hits a home run once every 30 or 40 at bats.

Sure. He is good on that front. Either way I hope he has a good game. I just hope the Rays have a plan for the rest of the season and the future. DJ is a ways away. If they want to trade Ruggiano and go for a rent a player for a year or two till DJ is ready then so be it.

by matthan on Jun 10, 2008 10:18 PM EDT up reply actions  

So slugging percentage is only meaningful if you are hitting homeruns?

Again, why do we care about history when we are looking out how well someone will be going forward.

BTW, Gross historically has hit a homerun every 31 at bats. This yeah its been every 32.5.

Ok, let's make this perfectly clear

Longoria, or anybody else’s power is not something that can be measured by quantity. There’s no gague attached to his arm that he times with the push of a button that dictates how much power he decides to use in a particular swing. Christ, he goes to bat 5 times in three hours. It’s not like he’s going to wear himself out crushing a pitch. I was trying not to be insulting, but seriously, you’re a fucking idiot.
