How is the fact that you CAN indeed walk across homeplate "fanboyish"????

Also, are you a Jim Hendry/Dusty Baker apologist?

You are wrong. You cannot WALK across homeplate. You can WALK to reach first base. After that you can only ADVANCE from the result of someone else's at bat. Therefore, you in fact cannot WALK across homeplate.

Secondly, you often complain that Dusty does not play any of the young guys, however, you clearly aren't aware that of Baseball America's Top 500 At or Near Ready For the Major Leagues, the Cubs only have 11 players or 2.2% of the list. Their highest ranked player is #52, and none of the young players on the current roster are on that list.

Let me be clear, the Cubs have not been very good since the second half of 2005, however, nearly all you read from astute baseball observers is that this is due more to poor roster management from the front office than actual in-game strategy. The Cubs would probably be best served by tearing the whole thing down and rebuilding from scratch. To do that, they need a different manager than Dusty Baker, but they also need a new front office that will spend less on questionable free agents, and invest in the farm system as teams such as the White Sox, Indians, Twins, Diamondbacks, Marlins and others have done.

No arguement from me regarding management. McPhail, Hendry, Dusty, the coaches, they all need to go. My point is that Dusty's "be aggressive, OBP doesn't matter" philosophy (which is shared by Hendry obviously, but reinforced by Cubs coaching....see 'Matt Murton') is killing this team. Is it any coincidence that Murton was hitting the ball to the opposite field very well, until the Cubs coaches had a meeting with him to tell him he needed to be more aggressive? Almost immediately, he started slumping, pulling the ball, etc. That high 300's OBP was just unacceptable.

Vandalism
Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Jim Hendry. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you.

Please stop. If you continue to violate Wikipedia's NPOV policy by adding commentary and your personal analysis into articles, as you did to Dusty Baker, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Furthermore, reinserting the same commentary multiple times may cause you to violate the three-revert rule, which can lead to a block. -- No Guru 16:13, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
