Hu continues to destroy the minor leagues

by RollingWave on Jul 21, 2007 4:07 AM PDT Comment 3 comments

so far this season, Hu's been anything but a no-hit shortstop, putting up pretty rigged number across the board, while some say his LD% are down, his HR and power have exploded and more importantly perhaps is that he's having a great SO/BB ratio as well.

Given that Kent and Furcal's contract is up in a year or two and Kent's career is obviously close to finish, Hu might be next in line? or would he be traded first? plenty of teams could use a SS that could at least hit a little and not be a automatic out, White Sox / Blue Jays / Royals / Pirates etc all comes to mind.

The Dodgers need to find a spot for Delwyn Young..

.. more than anything else.

I don't know why they signed Pierre. They have Delwyn Young, a guy who has destroyed minor league pitching his entire career. He is an outfielder but was converted to such after being an All-Star second baseman in the Florida State League. He could be our answer to Jeff Kent when Kent leaves this offseason. It would make Tony Abreu expendable. Young has power, average, and everything else you'd look minus elite speed for his position. Get him up.

Re

Delywn didn't hit well last year as a 24 in AAA. He also strikes out too much and doesn't walk enough. I think his ceiling is as a fourth outfielder. Not to mention a Young/Ethier/Gonzalez outfield would be scary defensively.

I'm talking about for next season

So, why would Gonzalez be in the equation?

It should be Young, Kemp, Ethier in the outfield but they had to pay Juan Pierre so much money for singles and bunt doubles.

Martin (C), Loney (1B), Young (2B), Furcal (SS), A-Rod (3B), Ethier (LF), Pierre (CF), and Kemp (RF). That should be the opening day starting lineup next season for the Dodgers. Anything less, and I will be upset.

Nomar is not a good player anymore, sorry to tell people.
