Might as well bench A-Rod in the playoffs while you're at it!

Now you're just being crazy. I think shifting him down to 8th makes more sense.

LOL @ saying batting Abreu 2nd is indefensible.

i love how abreu has like 5 million AB's with a 400+ OBP and after 160 people think hes awful.

riding out these bad streaks is one spot where old school managers seem to get it right.

exactly!

this is what ive been telling everyone

whenever I argue about baseball with my unenlightened friends I am always the one saying "you guys dont know what youre talking about, its just a small sample size". Always. Abreu is one of the best walking hitters around, and he goes 58 ABs without a walk.

Does anyone want to make a prop bet on what his obp will be from here on out? I'm willing to bet that over his next 145 ABs his OBP is not as high as his career mark.

[Karak567]

Taking into consideration that he was the best hitter in a national league lineup for a real long time... I'd say you need to give someone odds for that.

[owsley]

then lets compare it to his career as a yankee

I'll take that bet.

[Karak567]

yea im going to take that bet too

[THAY3R]

While we're at it I'll bet that A-Rod has a higher BA in the playoffs from this point forward as a Yankee than he has had as a Yankee.

[Karak567]

ill bet the yankees win more games in the rest of the season then they did so far

hahaha
