Personally, I'll take an OBP machine like him anywhere.

<!--quoteo-->QUOTE <!--quotec-->He is a terrible switch hitter.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Career OPS as a right handed batter: .885
Careeer OPS as left handed batter: .804

That may fall in line as a terrible switch hitter in your book, but not mine.

<!--quoteo-->QUOTE <!--quotec-->And what makes you think he can hit for power?<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

He has slugged over .480 in 5 of his 10 years in the league.

<!--quoteo-->QUOTE <!--quotec-->His career high is 22<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

While HRs are great, they aren't everything. The Cubs should make up good HR production out of catcher (crosses fingers) and third base anyway.

<!--quoteo-->QUOTE <!--quotec-->and that was at the launching pad in Arlington.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

I realize the wind blows in a decent amount in Wrigley, but Wrigley field isn't exactly a cavernous venue.

<!--quoteo-->QUOTE <!--quotec-->He'll never learn how to handle things.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

He's showed significant improvement this year by "handling things". He went from a .760 OPS in the first half of the season to a .921 OPS in the second half.

<!--quoteo-->QUOTE <!--quotec-->He's an insanely sensative guy, has been his whole career. Nothing is going to change.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

While this is true, it's never had an effect on his in game ability.

<!--quoteo-->QUOTE <!--quotec-->It was a bad signing.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

He hasn't even finish his first year of the contract. Again, maybe that's enough time for you, but I would like to at least see him play halfay through it.

<!--quoteo-->QUOTE <!--quotec-->Just be glad we only have two more years left.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

I'm glad we still have two more years. I'm just hoping the Cubs don't trade him for nothing.

There's a whole lot of [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ruby.gif[/img] in your post dude.

I'm not going to take the time to post responses. It's clear you just don't get it. Several points you didn't even seem to grasp. So we'll just say I'm wrong and you have way too much time on your hands.
