Breaking off the Dunn - clutch hitter conversation from the Peavy thread.

So do you guys think the Cubs are going to get Peavy?

Dunn = Dave Kingman with a higher OBP

I don't think you can assign a number of rbis or any stat number to define what is clutch. It's an intangible thing. Either someone can hit well under pressure or not. If you want to show someone's average when runners are on in late innings, then that may be something.... I'm still far from convinced that something like being clutch can be defined by a number.

when i think of a rotation of peavy, zambrano, dempster, hardin, and lily, it's just mind boggling. you're talking about a guy who won 17 games last year being your #5. unreal.

on the other hand, losing derosa would hurt, especially if they acquire rich aurilia.

I could live with it as long as we get Ibanez.

I just realized this is the wrong topic for this thread, and as Mod am giving myself a stern warning to never let it happen again.
