Just to feed off the other thread, I'd like to see predictions on Ward's numbers for the year... mine: Avg: .285 Hr: 35 R.B.I.'s: 93 Errors: 10
.295 32Hrs 111RBIs 5errors Why so many errors? Ward has never been a big error man. He's slow, can't make acrobatic catches, doesn't have a cannon but he is very consistent when he gets to the ball. He catches it and hits the cutoff man. His lack of speed will help him not get errors. This is not a good thing....just a look a deceiving stat. He's very bad on defense, but he plays inside himself.
The numbers on our keyboards don't go up that high. .268 avg .320 obp .545 slg 38 homers 94 RBI(batting #2, remember) 4 errors. 196 k's
