Blake DeWitt: Worthy of a splooge thread

[Internet Apex]

Bump for actually being in a Web Gem/Top Play segment on ESPN/MLB Network.  I can't remember the last Cub I've seen in a Top Plays segment.  Also, since coming over, .304 .364 .456 .819 112 isn't too shabby.  .456 SLG is way above his career average.  I know he's no Chay Sutley, but DeWitt's not hatable yet.

Just curious--does anybody here besides IAN actually still watch ESPN, for anything other than live sporting events?

I do as I'm getting ready for work. That's about it. And I'm pretty sure I've seen Byrd in there quite a bit this year, Top Plays that is.

MLB, NFL, NHL and Big Ten Networks as well as the Golf Channel mean that I'm free of Chris Berman and Tony Kuntheiser forever. I do watch an assload of college football/basketball on there though.

It's easier if I don't have to flip back and forth. It's all about convenience as opposed to actually liking it.

Well and Jeff Baker was just the 2009 version of 2008 Mike Fontenot. And 2008 Mike Fontenot was the 2008 version of 2001 Delino Deshields, so way to get all excited over Delino Deshields, IAN.

It's actually kind of SPOOKY how close Deshits 2010 Cubs numbers (.304/.364/.456/.819/112) are to Baker's 2009 (.305/.362/.448/.810/106).

Except isn't Blake DeWitt a better baseball player for his career than Jeff Baker?

On a quick OPS comparison:
DeWitt: .730
Baker:   .758

EDIT:
According to faggy defensive stats, Baker is a "better" defensive 2B than DeWitt

He's a Cub now. All that "talent" and "promise" is irrelevant. Are you new here?

I didn't know DeWitt all that much talent or promise, just that he's better than Jeff Baker.  I wouldn't think it's very hard to accomplish.

Neifi wants to know why he isn't in this progression somewhere.

Don't you have to flip somewhere every time Chris Berman or NASCAR come on? They treat NASCAR like it's an actual sport. THose cars aren't even going that fast. Have you seen open-wheel racing? It sucks just as bad only way faster.

I don't think I've heard Berman on SportsCenter in a while. I can deal with NASCAR. I have the same sentiment as you as far as it's classification as a "Sport", but it's not unbearable for me. Now, also remind yourself that I'm a hilljack so it's supposed to be in my blood or something.

NASCAR hasn't been the same since The Intimidator passed.  Respeck...
