He can still cover ground in the outfield better than many. He still has a better arm than most. He still hacks like crazy off lefties. If he was just used against lefties, he would be a valuable offensive tool and could play OF lightyears better than Soriano, Wells, and the rest of the Geritol bunch. Eech is fine, pretty much where an end-of-career legend should be. The only problem is Girardi doesn't use him against lefties as a rule. HE SITS ONE OF THE BEST LEFTY HITTERS ON THE TEAM AGAINST LEFTIES. This isn't Eech's fault. Girardi is a moron. For some weird reason, he ignores his binder pretty much completely on this score and sends up Vernon or some other righty who has trouble catching up to a fastball or even a fairly quick change-up.<br /><br />Fair is fair. We can't blame the Eech for poor performance in the one area he's obviously not good anymore--batting against righties. That's manager stuff. Used properly, Eech is a peach.<br /><br />Let's start a campaign to trade freakin' Girardi and we'd be better off. <br /><br />I wonder how Eech's porn collection compares to Godzilla's? Not that all Japanese guys have porn collections, but just sayin'. JMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09876016557456927299noreply@blogger.com
