Lou Whitaker Sucks

[vgp100]

Other than being the best bunter in the game, Sweet Lou sucks my ass.

Discuss.

boo!  you take that back!

[GDavis]

I think Sweet Lou would be one of the top players on just about any other team.  Personally, I never take the guy out of the lineup.

[vgp100]

I don't take him out (usually) either, but he just doesn't have the homerun power I like out of a 7 hitter. I think he comes up small in clutch situations and if he does hit one out, it just barely goes out. I think hs should be a much better hitter than he really is.

Wow
a bad comment about Sweet Lou. Well for me he wont do good unless it's a clutch situation then he comes through with a big homerun or double that scores everyone.

[Gantry]

I've always been a fan of Sweet Lou, I consider him the best #7 hitter in the game.  He's not a world beater, but gets the job done and should always stay in...

[doveRBI]

whoa... what is this insanity.  you have obviously lost your mind if you would ever even freaking consider taking sweet lou out.  his numbers may not show it but he will come through in the clutch 99% of the time.  we should start a poll or something to settle this.

Lou Whitaker still sucks...

No shit, what the fuck was Gantry thinking

Sweet Lou Whitaker is the Man, end of story.

Lou Whitaker Pat Sheridan still sucks...

I'll pitch to Lou Whitaker every time.
Worst hitter in that lineup.. and even worse... a lefty.

[lancemeister2006]

Whitaker is the worst hitter in that lineup, but that is the best lineup in the game, and Whitaker is the best worst hitter of any lineup there is.  So I say Whitaker is still a stud.  You know a lineup is dangerous when their worst hitter can send one out more than occasionally, and he has good speed to stretch doubles into triples.  Not bad at all.

[Metal King]

Sometimes I'll take out Lou late in a game (when that happens), I, and I'm sure everyone here could beat any other team in 2-3 innings by the 10 run rule using the Tigers.  Sometimes I let the computer score though, so the game goes on, then I take him out later.

He did get screwed out of the Hall of Fame though, think he only got 5% of the votes his first time, and dropped off the ballot for eternity (at least so far).  I think you need at least 15% to stay on.  Trammell is still "alive" but his chances aren't that great.  Especially in 2007 with Gwynn/Ripken & possibly McGwire.

Whitaker hits pretty good on RBI 2, he's got his 28 homers and a decent average, I think he led Detroit in hr's in '89, when they didn't hit that many.  I think Fred Lynn is next with 11 homers, see what I mean.

[BDawk]

I started quite a controversy there...

[Shooty]

He did get screwed out of the Hall of Fame though,

Huh?

Still trying to understand why Gantry had his head up his ass here.

He ran out of dildos?

[Gantry]

I have no explanation for that, in fact I have Chili as the best #7 hitter in our Rankings Page.

Another daily dose of hypocrisy from your friend Gantry
