Tony Gwynn JR.  God he STINKS
Aug 01st, 2009, 8:05am
 
T. Gwynn, CF      5      3      3      0      3      0      0      .294      

From Yesterdays box score.  Hitting .294 on the year, went 3 for 5.  Nice one Melvin.

Right Field.  Hart's been average at best since his All Star appearance.

I guess i'm not the only one who feels he didn't get a fair shot with Milwaukee

Hart has a .768 OPS compared to Gwynn's .748.
Counsell has a .794 OPS and a higher OBP than Gwynn.
80% of Gwynn's hits are singles - where does he play his home games?
His home/road splits are pretty similar, but that park in San Diego is much more suited for a slappy, singles hitter like Gwynn.
His numbers as a Brewer 130 games, 264 PA's, .248 BA, .300 OBP, .298 SLG % and a .598 OPS - did you think the Brewers would get a lot back for a guy with those numbers?
He's also committed 6 errors in 2 months. I like TGJ, always have, but I don't see him maintaining his current numbers. And I'll take the guy with a higher OPS everytime.
And do you read the comment on those JSOnline blogs and stories - not exactly a bunch of geniuses like the peeps on this site Wink

Hart is out until September. Appendectomy. Bill Hall recalled.

So this morning on L & L , Brewers "Insider" ( a term used extremely lightly) Craig Coshun said something about Tony Gwynn Jr. flourishing in San Diego. Really Craig? Flourishing? Well, let's take a look at how he is "flourishing".

If you look at all NL outfielders with at least 300 at bats you get a list of 53 players. Sorting that list by OPS, you find Braun @ #6 with a .925 OPS. Other Brewers on the list are Cameron @ #23 with a .793 OPS and Corey Hart @ #36 with a .747 OPS. Where does TGJ and his .670 OPS land you ask? 53rd? Nope. 52nd? Yep.

By the way, Bill Hall is up to a .629 OPS and with 2 1/2 weeks left, I wouldn't be surprised if Hall passes Gwynn. And another by the way - Gwynn's 8 errors are 2nd in all of baseball among outfielders.
