5 most important Buccos

Post by **Coach** » June 28th, 2012, 2:53 pm

I'll go with the following 5... In order.

1. Cutch - team MVP. Beast mode all the time.

2. J Mac - The guy has been steady and a great innings eater. Great get from LA.

3. Burnett - see above and he has really benefitted the younger pitchers on the staff.

4. Walker - finally having a steady 2B has been a big help. I wish he was hitting a little better. He provides a reliable middle infielder day in and day out.

5. Grilli - this guy has been a beast. I really like him. His pitching I think would allow the Bucs to trade Hahnrahan of they wanted to get some hitting. Grilli goes after people. I love his style.

I would put Pedro on that list. If he hits at all that lineup takes on a whole new dynamic. Other than Cutch no other guy has that much impact. If he can get his average up to even .250 and provide consistant power this team could rock.

Yeah, but Coach's picks seem based on what they HAVE done, not on what might be done.

Right... List based on what they've done. Hammer and Pedro are 6 and 7 respectively. My least popular high pick would be Barajas. I think he has a lot to do with the success of the pitching staff.

I also want to point out how awesome Hurdle is... Read this article. http://m.mlb.com/pit/news/article/2012062834079948/

I love his this isn't the try hard league comment.

I can agree with Pedro being 7. You could definately put Hurdle high on that list too. He's brought what everyone else has just talked about. Accountability!
