Didn't you know that he's the next poor man's Johnny Damon?
DeJesus is a decent player. Certain upgrade over Fukodome
I'm an upgrade over the Fuckudome.
You couldn't hit .100 in the majors. Defense is probably a wash.
I'm at the tail end of my career, but this is utter horseshit. I'd still hit around the Mendoza line. Pitchers that can't walk and chew gum with a bat in their hands still hit .150.
The difference between a great hitter and bad hitter that doesn't belong in the majors is less than 50 hits over the course of a season.
Most good high school baseball players have seen 90+ fastballs. the difference between hitting .210 and .320 is what you do with the curve.
I'd love to try and see you hit a 95 mph fastball or a MLB Curveball.
It has already happened. You sound like a clown. Good high school pitchers in baseball rich areas break 90 regularly, and several from my high school (3 I believe within the 5 years before and after me) have at least gotten a cup of coffee in the bigs. The pitcher from my big rival in high school was the 10th round pick of the Red Sox in 1991, and the left fielder on our all county team went in the first round to the Sox the same year and was later traded for Rick Aguilera. He couldn't hit a curve, so he should have taken the football schollie to play RB at Oklahoma State.
Oh, and I had decent stats against Dave Fleming, who won 17 games for the Mariners in 1993 or so. He only threw 85-87 or so, but man did he have a curve.
You sound like a clown. The velocity is irrelevant. We had a kid throw 92 or 93 in HS but we could tee off on him because his ball didn't move and that was in the era before the straight change was popular. Man did it hurt the hand catching him, however.
