That's a pretty solid argument.

33 AB, three extra base hits, 4 walks, .243/.424/.667


Adam Dunn's 2012 season on a 162 game average:

69 extra base hits, 90 walks, .205/.335/.489/.824

Brett Jackson's:

55 extra base hits, 93 walks, .206/.325/.456/.781

Yes....what an amazing gap that would be... :roll:

Gave up on the whole "Soriano is better than Dunn" thing so now you need a new argument. Skip does the same thing.

Have none of you ever heard the term 'troll' before? IMU doesnt think Jackson is as good as Trout but he loves to watch everyone get worked up about it.

I thought he said he used to be a troll, but then was humbled, rehabilitated, and reintegrated into regular message board society.

What do you think his regular message board society is made of?

Everyone has a little IMU in them.

what what??

Posting what you actually think. Not posting inane shit to get a rise out of people. Basically every poster here except you, SH, chas, cgs, and Mr. Belvidere.

I just can't accept that. It is too foolish to be a real thought.

Hamilton is projected to be playing center next year; likely at AAA to begin next season.

0-3 with 2 more punchouts for Jackson. It's going to be really difficult for Mike Trout to look this bad at the plate when he finally reaches 24 years of age.

This thread is almost absurd as the "is Tiger back" and Trout is all juiced up..get Jackson some hgh and then maybe.

This was just yesterday . . .

Quote:
Jocketty said Hamilton will "possibly" play other positions, i.e. outfield, in the Fall League. Hamilton has played all shortstop this year.

Interestingly, the official release from the AFL lists Hamilton as an outfielder.

I also heard it thrown out there that they package Leake and Cozart for a better #2 or #3 starter

Brett Jackson Gets. On. Base.

It is all he does. Really quite uncanny.

His OBP is over double his batting average.

Imagine when he gets his average to his destined .280 career mark.

.600 OBP? Believe it.

Except when he strikes out.


:P

Hey man...if you get on base 60% of the time and strike-out the other 40% - I'm okay with that. I'm a bigfan of 1.200 OPS.

By the way, thanks to The Cub for making the Brewers look so good so far in this series, they need all of the help they can get. :thumleft:

Rizzo looked like me in RTTS, 6 ABs and saw 17 pitches.

Yes. I thought he would be more like Vitters has been. His defense is good, his power is there and he gets on base despite striking out every other AB. Alot of his strikeouts come from working long AB's and I think time and some adjustments will clean up the strikeouts. When things eventually shake out I think he could be a solid 5th or 6th guy in the lineup.

For a rookie on a team that is 40 games out of 1st place, Brett Jackson is the best I have ever seen in my 6 decades in this game.
