Or, more likely, is the problem with the Dodgers so painfully obvious that you can expect 6000 versions of this same article?<BR/><BR/>Yeah.<BR/><BR/>PS: I believe Pierre has now achieved more Outs than At Bats. Impressive.jimbilly4https://www.blogger.com/profile/10488184670253746128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3937814114396988859.post-56708045887358773302008-04-07T16:13:00.000-07:002008-04-07T16:13:00.000-07:00That is a "good" natural hitter.

I am not sure what that is, but I imagine it involves the player tapping the plate with a staff and a rift opening through the infield and swallowing the pitcher into the depths of Hades.jimbilly4https://www.blogger.com/profile/10488184670253746128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3937814114396988859.post-26508517951600931492008-04-07T16:11:00.000-07:002008-04-07T16:11:00.000-07:00For the anal-retentive completeness types, the Dod...For the anal-retentive completeness types, the Dodgers technically have a 5th outfielder: Delwyn Young. <BR/><BR/>Young has had 3 at bats and produced 1 hit, a fairly meaningless .333 average. Extra meaningless considering it was an infield single that an aging Ray Durham couldn't corral.<BR/><BR/>Delwyn had a bad spring, but is generally acclaimed as a god natural hitter. His lifetime MLB OPS (over a piddly 42 ABs) is over 900, so he should probably be kept in mind in case of a complete outfield break down. <BR/><BR/>God help us then.jimbilly4https://www.blogger.com/profile/10488184670253746128noreply@blogger.com
