"Let's see what happens when we combine Pujols with Howard." - Will Hunting Apr 20, 09:17 23
- Why would you want to dilute Pujol's DNA? (nm) - musubi Apr 20, 09:19 22
  - Adds the lefty genome; only reason. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 20, 09:21 20
    - The Pujols Hitting Machine has almost no platoon split, whereas Howard is completely incapable against LHP. Again, don't mess with perfection. (nm) - musubi Apr 20, 09:23
    - Side effects may include extreme increase in strikeouts. -- nm - David Apr 20, 09:22 18
      - Okay, Pujols and Ichiro. - Will Hunting Apr 20, 09:23 17
        
        So, a giant slugger who can run a 4.4 40? Hey, who does that sound like? -- nm - David Apr 20, 09:25 14
        
        Lord, I remember hte last Braves player you were so ecstatic over 2 weeks into his career. How is Frenchy doing now? -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 20, 09:27 6
        
        Lost in all of the silly is the fact that I was always bothered by the fact that he never walked. - David Apr 20, 09:30 5
        
        plus, players tend to walk more the longer they are around. - groiny Apr 20, 09:35 4
        
        Frenchy has walked more this year. The problem is when he (inevitably) slumps, if he'll regress to his old bad habits. - musubi Apr 20, 09:40 1
        
        He has Hero Syndrome, which is perfectly understandable for someone who had accomplished as much as him by 22. - David Apr 20, 09:44
        
        It's frustrating to me that Heyward already has a better plate approach at 20 than Frenchy will ever have in his entire career. - David Apr 20, 09:36 1
        
        I am with ya, the tools are there for him to use - groiny Apr 20, 09:37
        
        Ike Davis? -- nm - Jim Apr 20, 09:26 6
        
        Ike was also a pitcher with a 94 mph fastball. Just sayin'. (nm) - musubi Apr 20, 09:31 5
        
        Did you see that Frenchy was going to pitch in the 21st? -- nm - David Apr 20, 09:31 4
        
        That would have been *awesome*. To bad Ike wasn't up then. I bed Jer would've pitched him. - musubi Apr 20, 09:34 3
        
        He says he can hit 98 on the gun. It would be Nuke LaLoosh-ish. -- nm - David Apr 20, 09:35 2
        
        Wait. Frenchy says that? - musubi Apr 20, 09:37 1
        
        That's exactly what I'm saying. He might knock out the umpire with a fastball. -- nm - David Apr 20, 09:40
        
        Ooooh, a fast Pujols who can play CF? That is the perfect baseball machine. (nm) - musubi Apr 20, 09:24 1
        
        Yeah, laser rocket arm indeed. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 20, 09:24
  - I love how these posts get made and I don't even have to type them anymore. -- nm - Jim Apr 20, 09:20
