Hatteburg is 15th in the league in OPS, and 24 points higher than Carlos Lee. What a pickup by WK.

All WK moves. The rest is just details.
Games are won on run differential -- scoring more than your opponent. Runs are runs, scored or prevented they all count the same. Worry about scoring more and allowing fewer, not which positions contribute to which side of the equation or how "consistent" you are at your current level of performance.
Harang? Dunn? Ramirez? EE? Aurilia?Originally Posted by RedsManRick
Don't forget David Ross. Hasn't played as much of a role as the other three, because of first a lack of playing time, and then the injury, but also another very valuable pickup by WK that also gives the team some flexibility when it comes to making any potential deals. The play of Ross makes Larue and Valentin expendable, and in a package with another player or two, might reel in something half way decent, but that remains to be seen.
Yeah really, I guess those guys are just avg
Go Gators!
Scott Hatteberg is also second in the MLB with batting average behind...(no, not Sir Albert)...NOMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR! How about that?
You mean second among first basemen. He's 7th overall.
oh yeah...my bad...good catch
Adam Dunn = just details.

Shoot, maybe we could have traded him to Texas for Laynce Nix, Kevin Mench, and Francisco Cordero...
For every action there is an equal and opposite criticism.
Just makes me hat ethat one year extension that much more.
I wish Hatteberg was playing all crap-like so that we wouldn't be tempted to re-sign him.
We'll burn that bridge when we get to it.
This was slightly tongue in cheek. That said, we're pretty much getting what we expected out of Dunn, Harang, etc. Ramirez has been solid, but not had the impact of those three. I meant the comment in reference to the effect Krivsky has had compared to what the team might otherwise have been like, not an overall "best players" statement. Given that, you could even throw Ross on the list.

Wishing to cut off the nose to spite the face... not usually a good idea.
