I remember when George and Al would spend a good 5+ minutes recapping things after the game… Grandpa Simpson really has become the unofficial mascot for a lot of us posters here hasn’t he? 😂 1 Quote

I had hopes for him coming out the minors so I love to see that most believe he's legit. But as someone out of the area and bit able to watch many games and mostly following box scores, what is it about Lee that people like? His stats don't look bad by any means, but they don't jump off the page, either. So just looking for some insights from those who actually see him play. We suffered thru months of a RH hitter who couldn't hit his way out of a paper bag. Every hit Lee gets is a refreshing blast of fresh air. And he's pretty solid at 2nd base, he may be our 2nd baseman of the future. The kid can play!! Quote

My Doc is a big Twins fan - Saw her recently and she said they are going up this weekend to see the games but the Twins always lose the games she attends. We can only hope! 1 Quote

It's not even August yet, plenty of time to make up ground. I'm still waiting for the WSox to fold....last night was a good start. They couldn't hold a late 5-0 lead... Quote
Tenacious D Posted July 25 Posted July 25 If you look at it solely from games back, there is reason for optimism. However there are so many teams in the mix—if a couple go on a heater, like the Red Sox have, the task is much greater. Quote

While this is true, we could be even or ahead of all but Cleveland after tonight. Basically the number of teams isn’t as big of a deal IMO when so many are within 1/2-1 game of us. Quote

Tenacious D Posted July 25 Posted July 25 Lee is 23 and has less than 200 AB’s. He’s shown he can hit in the clutch, too. Plenty of reason for optimism. I think the walks will come with more experience. 1 Quote
gehringer_2 Posted July 25 Posted July 25 (edited) 4 hours ago, Sports_Freak said: And I know it's a small sample size but it's still meaningful; largely because he is not an all or nothing pull hitter. He's not too proud to take a pitch where it's thrown. The flip side is he gives up some power potential hitting that way, but no worse an example than Miguel Cabrera was *always* willing to play for a single if the team needed the RBI. the low walk rate is his weakness to work on.
