Some interesting statistics

Juan Pierre : .180/.192 BA/OBP
Alejandro De Aza : .303/.314 

Now I'm not saying De Aza is that good, since he's not, and is basically a singles hitter with a little bit of speed, but isn't it hilarious that Pierre has fallen off the map completely?

Adam LaRoche : .088/.205 1 HR
Mike Gonzalez : 6 IP 8 H 2 ER

I must say I was completely wrong about this deal, I figured LaRoche would produce somewhat simliar numbers (although not as good) in PNC Park, though it is encouraging that his OBP is a quite bit higher than his BA.

Danys Baez :6 IP 3 ER
Jay Marshall :8 IP 2 ER

Baez was a high priced FA, Marshall a Rule V pick.

Thoughts?

My thoughts are it's 10 games into the season.  A lot can and will change.

Look at Pierre's numbers the first 4-6 weeks of last year and then his final numbers. 

LaRoche and Gonzo will be a wash IMO over time.  LaRoche is going to put up solid numbers when all is said and done and Gonzo will be the arm the Braves badly needed.


I could care less about the other guys really.

Jay Marshall breaks my heart, I remember the press reporting we got him in the (oh God what was the first pick of the Rule V's drafts name...) deal and I was thrilled since he seemed like he'd be a decent arm...

Another interesting stat line:

3-0, 18 IP, 1.50 ERA, 0.83 WHIP, 18 K, 5 BB, 1 HR allowed.

I dunno who that is to be frank.

It's your favorite whipping boy, other than Juan Pierre of course. 

The guy you said is going to be a 4.50-5.00 ERA guy and the one I said will be around 3.50-3.75 at worst.

Meh, it's early yet .

Of course my favorite whipping boy is showing exactly why is so. .190 BA for the win!

Ok, so for Beckett it is early but Pierre it's not?

Can't have it both ways!!!!
