Fun While It Lasts
2005-03-23 20:30
No one should get carried away with optimism about Jason Repko's March Madness, but that doesn't mean it isn't fun to see a guy get two or three hits each day and make spectacular catches. Repko will have to do it when the games count before he sheds the skepticism skin. (Sadly, he'll have that chance, it appears, at the expense of Jayson Werth, who had a setback. Steve Henson of the Times posits the right-handed hitting Repko as a platoon partner for Ricky Ledee.) But all hail Repko's day in the sun. Gets the pre-Opening Day juices flowing.

Baseball Toaster runs on some experimental software called Fairpole. It's still under development. For more information, please visit the Fairpole blog, or read the FAQ. |
I assume Jason Repko would get a real number if he makes the big team. Or maybe he wants to wear 75.
Alan Mills wore 75 with some distinction.
I read this quote (Dodgers.com)...
"He's opened a lot of people's eyes, including mine," said manager Jim Tracy. "What's there not to like? He gives maximum effort every time he's involved. He's a baseball player, a winning-type baseball player, the kind of player I like very, very much. He has a lot of heart, a lot of character. He's the type of player I've seen our fans fall in love with."
...and it makes me kind of not like the kid. I can just see the Plaschke headline when he gets sent down or traded.
His spring OBP of only .440 in comparison with a .404 BA leaves me feeling a little cynical as well, though it's not as suspect as Romano's .393 OBP and .379 BA last spring.
