Time to sit Hart, play Gross

[princeginterhallhelms04]

I just don't think at this time it's a good idea to take out Hart. He's slumping sure but so is the whole team. Give him some time and he'll have that avg. back over .300.

Guy gets two hits and we're talking sitting regulars. This is the same thread (insert Joe Dillon) from a couple of days ago. Lots of losses bring out the most curious threads.

There's just no way (and i hope Gross does not get offended) that he is the key to the brewer's winning this divison. We will win with what we have Hart!

The guy can play a passable CFer, so acting like he's a terrible corner outfielder doesn't add up.

Passable, yes, but very below average just like in RF. He's got a good arm but can't cover the ground that Hart can. Playing AAAA players over Hart is not a smart idea.

I didn't say that Gross was as good a defender as Hart but I think hart is well above average. Gross is a fine defender, provided you can get past one or two very bad plays he's had this year. You can't seem to and if you judge a defender based on his very best or worst plays, you probably aren't judging him very well.

Is anyone keeping track of which Brewers haven't been bashed? Or who's been bashed the least? Bashing Gabe doesn't make a whole lot of sense for either his offense or defense. He's not an all-star player, but he is what his and he can contribute. It's not like he's Bonds in the OF.

 

As far as who's been bashed the least...my guess would be Manny Parra or maybe Damian Miller

JJ,

I started a thread asking who hasn't been bashed but I thought better of it and deleted my post. To my recollection, Prince is about the only one who has not.

actually, this thread started before Gabe got an AB yesterday.

 

I still want Hart playing a lot and I don't even want a strict R/L platoon, I just want Gross to start twice (maybe thrice) a week. It's worth it in case Gross gets hot.

"Since Gross falls over whenever a routine ball comes to him.... "

 

Or he can just stop running toward a fly ball, and just let it drop in front of him instead...oh wait, someone already tried that yesterday! http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/laugh.gif

I'm not sure why you'd use a small sample to judge Hart when he has plenty of AB's this year and career to use. Should you bench anyone that goes 0-4?

 

Anything can happen over a month, that's exactly what a small sample is. 100-150 AB's literally mean less than nothing.

100-150 AB's literally mean less than nothing.

 

I think you might be getting a bit carried away, there. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

Gross is a fine defender

His arm is good, but his range is horrible. If that means "fine" then I guess that is the case.
