Desmond frequently batted 7th (and several times batted 6th) in the lineup, in which he had some on-base machines just ahead of him. It's easy to rack up RBIs when you've got Zimm, Dunn and Willingham's near .400 OBPs getting on base in front of you. Though, Pudge's infatuation with the GIDP didn't help much. I suppose his average could increase, but he'll need to cut down on strikeouts before it does, and his walk-rate <i>must</i> increase. But I think that task will be a bit more difficult next year, especially considering he's got to deal with the inevitable "sophomore slump," where pitchers have a better idea of what your weaknesses are and how to exploit them.<br /><br />I do agree his defensive numbers will improve, simply because Dunn's positional ability and glove won't be there, but I think most GMs already recognize the fact that Desmond isn't as bad as his numbers would suggest.<br /><br />In the end, it's not a bad idea to wait it out a year to see which of Espinosa and Desmond shows greater potential, but I think what we saw from Desmond last year is a pretty good indicator of what we'll get from him in future years.Willnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-52872314265713832712010-12-21T09:08:18.264-05:002010-12-21T09:08:18.264-05:00I remember what Jordon Zimmerman said.
