Oh thank you

I’m glad that wasn’t a double play.

Also, Emil, you annoy me.

Don't like this move at all

But then again, I think Hannahan doesn’t belong in the majors.

Hey Geren, you effing moron

Pay attention to who the other team has in the bullpen.

Murphy vs. righty (or lefty, or anybody) > Hannahan vs. lefty

by thejd44 on May 5, 2008 9:02 PM PDT reply reply   0 recs

I think he has potential to be a pretty good player

And I think Hannahan is about 3 years past potential. And not any good.

Donnie Murphy equals

Marco Scutaro minus a little defense and clutch factor. Basically, he should never start unless somebody needs an occasional day off

by I_Saw_Ernie_Young's_3_HRs on May 5, 2008 9:04 PM PDT to parent up reply reply   0 recs

Murphy is FAR superior to Scutaro

Offensively. Defensively. Everything.

http://bocropleasestopswingingatbadpitches.blogspot.com/

by thejd44 on May 5, 2008 9:05 PM PDT to parent up reply reply   0 recs

Offensively, some pretty good minor league numbers

though his defense is mostly based on what I’ve seen. Scutaro fails miserably both by the eye test and according to the metrics I trust.

I'm sure the Royals were missing something when they sent

him down to the minors.

Not clear that Murphy is better at 2B

Geren made the right move -

he can’t get the advantage here.

Murphy vs. righty = automatic out

hannahan opsed 1.000 against LHPs last year….

The A's colors are green and gold.

115 PAs >>>>>>>>> 18 PAs

The A's colors are green and gold.

by mikeA on May 5, 2008 9:05 PM PDT to parent up reply reply   0 recs

He had 39 PAs vs. lefties last year

And 18 this year. Neither is enough to make any kind of judgment, which was the point of me sarcastically pointing out his numbers this year.

Fine.

And Murphy is a better defensive player so you want him in late.

I still think Hannahan is just as terrible as guys like

Figgins and Cabrera over at third. No range and no arm = bad.

Rajai can beat it out.......

but I was being sarcastic, as I cannot remember the last time the A’s tried a squeeze

It's not a squeeze if the batter is trying to get a hit. It's just a bunt.

And IIRC Hannahan squeezed a run home (on a suicide squeeze) last year.
