That Troy Glaus certainly sucks ass

[007]

From WWJR at the PB

14 Hits
24 ABs
5 BBs
3 2Bs
4 HRs
7 RBI

.583 BA
.655 OBP
1.042 SLG %
1.697 OPS

For July
.348 BA
.434 OBP
.696 SLG %
1.130 OPS

I know he is a streaky player but his numbers are up every month from April to July

April OPS .755
May OPS .776
June OPS .927
July OPS 1.130

But he's good looking, so he's got that going for him, which is nice...

Not scrappy enough.

[Bleacher Creature]

If he can only get a couple hits against the Cubs.

That covers a multitude of sins...

No triples?

Shitty.

[Cardz82]

On pace for almost 90 walks and also on pace to have his lowest total of strikeouts over a full season in his career.

Oh but he still sucks. I heard it on Cards Talk in April so I know it's true.

I liked Rolen okay, but I am super happy with Glaus.

Side by side stats vs. Rolen this year?

They aren't pretty.

I just looked at baseball-reference.com. I don't think I've seen very many player's power numbers just fall off the table like Rolen's have.

How about one hit to start off with?

There's a thread that was just on the front page two days ago or so. It's the original "Rolen traded for Glaus" thread...

This does seem to be working out well (knock on wood). 80 more ABs make a difference.

I know RBI is greatly affected by the surrounding team, but Scott will have to work to get 70 . No amount of defense is making up for this (and I am dubious there is much difference in the defense anyway)

Hole in the lineup.
