Have you told Jay your plans?

See my quote from JJ about Yorke above. Jay didn't 100% miss on this one, but if he's being honest with you, Yorke hasn't lived up to what Jay thought he was going to be

quote:

---

That’s an assumption you made.

---

Sorry I thought someone dubbed "The Creole Bambino" could hit for power.


ETA:

quote:

"He has plenty of power in the thing that grabs everybody's attention, but he doesn't have to sell out to hit with power," Johnson said

OOOOF

quote:

---

30 home runs in 3 years in a low major league that plays most of its games at elevation.

If you had expectations of him being a power bat, the problem is with your expectations, not how he's living up to them.

---

Did you tell that to LSU media outlets who pumped up the Big Poppa power persona?

quote:

---

4th in BA
4th in R's
4th in H's
5th in RBI's
3rd/4th in Slugging %
1st in BB
2nd in ob%

But yet the sucks????

So everyone that ranks below him in those stats should be playing in DII is what you are saying? Before you say yes, how about you look at the people that are below him in those stats.

When someone is brought in as a bat, a power bat at that, I don't expect him to have so many at bats with little to no value. He's a 4 outcome player (HR,Single,Walk,Out). No speed on basepaths, plays one of the easier poistions on the field, and was hitting like 250 with 4-5 homers before this weekend. Yes, I would say he has been a letdown so far

quote:

---

pinch hit from Reaves?! Really Johnson? Reaves couldn’t hit sand if he fell off a camel

---

It’s like having basically anyone else on the team hitting

quote:

---

I’m at the game. Did Milam go?

---

I say no, but you could see a lot more of the barrel than people on here will admit


It wouldn’t matter anyway

quote:

---

Can’t ever get the runner in 3rd in this year

---

Well it’s not like they get a lot of chances

What the frick was that? A base hit?

Lawd even Curiel struggling.

Solid AB there Yorke.
