I know you've always mega-loathed his defense.

But his April and June should have given you enough to not hate him entirely until at least mid August.

Meh, the important thing is we both hate him now.

by Vin on Sep 19, 2008 6:01 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Hinske isn't that terrible

as long as he doesn’t play in the field. He has legitimate 20-25 HR pop and has had his share of good games for the Rays this year. I can’t hate on him too much.

I can hate on him. He plays the field, which is bad (I realize it's not his decision).

And for the second half of the season, he’s hit roughly like Adam Kennedy.

Dude, he is that terrible.

From June 29th up until today, he’s been absolutely putrid.

He had an amazing April and a pretty great June, but outside of that he’s been awfully bad.

His post ASB break OPS is down to .630.

by Vin on Sep 19, 2008 6:08 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

I guess it's time for another episode of Eric Hinske's September OPS watch...

.171/.237/.200 – .437 OPS.

So, what do you guys think? Does it go up or down today?

by Vin on Sep 19, 2008 5:53 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Up

He’s set the threshold so low that I’m betting he gets on base at least once to raise his OBP.

by Patrick L. Kennedy on Sep 19, 2008 6:58 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

None of these Twins pitchers have very imposing numbers

They’re all extremely hittable and give up tons of HRs. We’ll need a good performance from the offense tonight with E-Jax on the bump.

Zobrist has been unlucky in terms of BABIP.

But even so he’s not as good in left as Ruggiano. Compared to Hinske’s 36 chances in left Zobrist is 6.2 plays (or ~5 runs) better while Ruggiano is 14.42 plays better (or ~11.5 runs). Obviously Zobrist and Ruggiano’s splits are about half each of what Hinske has, but Ruggiano really should be playing in the outfield over Zobrist.

Chat with Jerry Crasnick :

Brian (Tampa Bay): Got a two-part question for you today, Jerry. With the way Fernando Perez has stepped up his game on the field and at the plate, what are the chances the Rays try and move BJ Upton in the offseason? And which team(s) do you see making a bid for Upton should the Rays indeed try and trade him?

SportsNation Jerry Crasnick: Brian, Fernando Perez is certainly intriguing with his speed, but I don’t think the Rays are sufficiently convinced that he can hit at the big league level that they’ll trade BJ Upton. For what it’s worth, Upton is actually a year younger than Perez. If Andrew Friedman did throw Upton’s name out there, I can think of maybe 15 teams that would be quite interested.
