Florimon is currently hitting under .100. His OPS is just barely above .300. If Florimon can somehow get to 100 plate appearances this season (and I think we all hope he doesn't), he'll be the first player since 1931 to hit under .100 and have an OPS under .300 with 100 or more PAs. Unreal. It wasn't Pickles, it was Ed Connolly, but Pickles did hit .126/.144/.158 in 104 plate appearances in 1917. He's also went by "Pickles." If Florimon starts going by "Pickles" Florimon, he'll become my favorite player, even with a .100 BA.

Brad, in a season short on hope, you have given us one small reason to keep watching. Thank you.

I do what I can. Unfortunately, Pickles is now in Rochester.

Fuld reminds me of Jason Tyner, a guy who made the most out of the talent and ability he was given. Although in fairness to Fuld, it was understood by everyone that Tyner was a back-up outfielder. Fuld should be in that same role as Tyner, and NOT the everyday center fielder. By the way, Hicks had a better OBP than Fuld and plays better defense.....just sayin....
