I guess we needed a Dan Vogelbach/Left Field free version of On
The Farm, haha.

Anyone see the Baseball Prospectus write up on Vogelbach last
week? Sure would be nice if his scouted-power would occasionally
show up in a game. Maybe in Tennessee this year.
From BP:
"He walked four times in this game but seemed generally
disgusted by the notion, as though he wasn’t happy about not
getting to hit but cognizant that it’s better than chasing bad
pitches and getting out. Vogelbach clearly wants to hit, as it’s
the only thing he does well on a baseball field, and he attacks
hittable pitches when he gets them."
"His raw power is legitimate and is a true plus tool, and
combining it with an above-average hit tool and good plate
discipline should make for a solid everyday hitter. He may never
suit up for the Cubs, with first base blocked by Anthony Rizzo
and even that being a stretch of Vogelbach’s talents with a
glove, but he’s going to give some American League team a solid
DH for 5-7 years in his prime and should be one of the main
pieces the Cubs use when they ultimately decide to trade for
pitching help"

Did you hear Harold Reynolds shilling for the NL style of play
during the WS? He said he played his career in the AL, but
being able to see the NL regularly he now favors the NL.
Motivation? Word is the new commissioner doesn't like the DH,
and certainly doesn't like the DH in one league over the other.
Word also is that he would like to do away with it, which
surprises me since AL people love it. To get rid of it, MLB
would have to satisfy the union somehow, maybe with another
roster spot. Just reporting. Don't shoot the messenger.

Don't worry, Curt. There are so many reasons to shoot you,
being a messanger wouldn't add much.

I find it hard to believe that in an era of falling offense,
they are going to want to take away more offense. I love 1-0
games, but I think the public would prefer more offense.

That would be downright shocking.

I was trying to point out btw that a dh only player may have
little value in the future.
