Boston pinch hitters

[fknmclane]

I gotta go with Burks.  He's a complete player.  Subbed for Barrett, he can get on base, swipe a couple and hit for power.  Great, great player.

Hendu is a close second while Armas is a distant third.  He's too one-dimensional.  All or nothing with ZERO speed. Gotta be quick on the basepaths.

[Nails]

Hendu's on my straight pitch team, and has performed like a beast.  But i'd have to give the vote to Burks.  Better power than Hendu, and great wheels.

The temtation to vote for option #5 was great, but I resisted.  And Sullivan isn't a viable option.

[Gerlost]

Who needs speed when you just hit the ball 500 feet?  I pick Turbo Tony.

[RedBarron]

Tim Dog all the way.

[Gantry]

Armas is just too fucking streaky for my tastes.  He has the big bat but he just lays too many eggs for my taste.  He can win a game on his own, but he can also get that DP three times.  Burks by a slim margin, Hendu pretty far behind for third.  Sullivan is ass...

Gimme Tim Burks on this all day, every day. Armas is a double play just waiting to happen. Hendu is underrated, but definitely your third option. Sullivan gobbles knobs, that is all...

When I voted for Burks, who has way too much power in RBI, the poll didn't turn into a hand shape.  This poll clearly isn't as good as the Detroit one.

[fknmclane]

I can't believe no one has voted for the fif option on either of these puhls.  Very strange.

[TβG]

fine.

Any power is too much since he shouldn't even be in RBI.

How so?  He played in '87

I gotta go with Armas.
If I need a homerun, this is the only option.
Singles are for pussies. That's why Armas is no pussy and never will be.

Just goes to show how wild this game can be.

I've never had much luck with Armas.  I always would put him in, but never could rely on him.

This is similar for the one and only Potoatoes Jackson --- I just don't do well with him.

[Baines]

Gotta go with Timmy's speed and power.  I was down on him since he was nonexistent for 3/4 of the straight pitch season but he finally came out of it and restored my faith in him.

Yeah, but really, are you good with any players?  Seriously.  You sorta suck, pal.

Burks was not on the '86 roster, which is what Boston is supposed to be.

a non-denial, i notice...

Armas wasn't on their roster either. . .  ..was he?

[Nails]

Yes, but he didn't have 43 homers that year...
