Around SBN: VIDEO: Veterans Share Favorite Sports Memories

I was surprised to see how badly Freddy has been hitting this season. His career Giants batting line is pretty uninspiring. The defense is nice, though.

This doesn't include his stats -- and the HR -- from last night's game. I pulled the numbers before they were posted.

I just noticed that my x-axis’ labeling appears to be messed up. I’ll fix it when I get home and can get on Exce.

Ask me about my blog.

Sigh. From 2005-2007 he was a really good player. Even last year with Pittsburgh he was decently productive. It would really be a boon for us if he could just find a two or three months supply of Essence of Youth, but given an offseason of surgeries, the path of that chart makes perfect sense. He may have fixed the shoulder; he may have rehabbed the solider, but it’s very hard in just a few months to build the strength back up that you need to battle the fatigue of the long season.

My Bucardo is better than yours.

A hot August weekday, before a small crowd, when the only thing at stake is the tissue-thin difference between a thing done well and a thing done ill. Insofar as the clutch hitter is not a sportswriter's myth, it is a vulgarity, like a writer who writes only for money.

Your chart fails to factor in:

1) Batting championship
2) Veteran grit
3) Gameriness
4) Moles

Those first 20-ish games were pretty awesome though.

Well,

At least it’s a steady decline?

It’s hard to post a decent wOBA when your slugging percentage is around some other players’ averages. Dude doesn’t even hit doubles anymore.

I was just looking at his stats yesterday and was surprised by how poorly his offense has been this year too.

At this point he probably shouldn’t be batting second anymore. I think the problem is that there’s not much of an alternative.

Anyone who’s a better hitter than Sanchez is a better alternative. Overall talent level is much more important than your hitting profile…

Yeah, I mean, I’d actually be okay with Edgar batting second as opposed to Freddy.

I was THINKING about Edgar over Freddy too.. but I don’t know. The stats say yes.

You know this and I know this but can you imagine the public flak Bochy would get if he put someone like Uribe 2nd?
