JOSH THOLE; C/1B (Mets)

He crouches low like Quinlan, but there's no stance in this version of The Show that has a low crouch like that AND also has the correct bat angle/movement and the open stance of his.

So.....I am going with Adam Kennedy's stance
the link on youtube (which is from the centerfield camera) is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=anD9Pvc7DYc

at the 54 second mark....

and for my fellow Mets fans, don't get excited about power...
he had 5 homers in '08 in 347 official AB's. NONE vs. lefties and 5 vs. righties in 266 AB's. I have his power split at:

PowerR-25
PowerL-0

He had ONLY 1 homer in 384 official AB's THIS season in Binghamton

Re: JOSH THOLE; C/1B (Mets)

I have Josh Beckett from a fantasy draft and I thought his pitching motion was TERRIBLE!

Then I found "Tony Armas". That weird leg kick Beckett does + keeping the glove low = perfection. Wish the pitching motion had more Omph behind it but what can ya do!

Hey Carew what do you think about Vlad Guerrero for David Wright?..not bad right?

[Rod_Carew29]

What do I think? LOL I don't! Tried Vladdy's stance over a year ago...I'm sticking with Jackie Robinson

Re: BATTING STANCE/PITCHING DELIVERY THREAD

haha okay..and just a observation..you said u were looking for a crouched open stance with bat movement for Thole...how about Felix Pie?

Re: BATTING STANCE/PITCHING DELIVERY THREAD

Benny...you're really trying me, huh? If ya scroll back a few, you will see that I posted Thole's stuff om Monday I believe

Re: BATTING STANCE/PITCHING DELIVERY THREAD

Nooo i think u misunderstood my post..i saw the post u made recommeding adam kennedy for Thole..then u said u were looking for a crouched open stance with movement in the bat..so i thought of Felix Pie

Re: BATTING STANCE/PITCHING DELIVERY THREAD

Noooo u misunderstood me...I said there wasn't one that crouched down enough, but in terms of the best bat position/angle ALONG WITH the best crouch...Kennedy IS the one based on that video

Re: BATTING STANCE/PITCHING DELIVERY THREAD

Rod_Carew29, do you have a perfect motion for Luis Valdez of the Braves?

@ JTRaines

the best one, if the 'fall-off' is important to you, is Sheets
if the 'fall off' isn't important to you, then Hughes and Miller are runners-up

Rod_Carew29, do you have a perfect motion for Luis Valdez of the Braves?

Re: @ JTRaines

Can you explain to me what "fall off" is?

[Rod_Carew29]

@ JTRaines

yes, some guys (like K-Rod) when they finish/follow through with their delivery, literally fall off towards the first base side or the third base side of the mound...some more pronounced than others...

Can you explain to me what "fall off" is?
