I don't know why he thinks that, given his career .320 OBP and 66 walks in 1337 at-bats.
But I also understand most of the rest of the lineup isn't any better. Indeed, whoever manages has really got his hands tied offensively. At least Schaefer's trying to think of different approaches, even though I'm skeptical of their long-term success. They just need better hitters, period. Or, at least, some of these young hitters to develop soon.
But as I said in the preseason, I look at 2005 as the pitcher development year. Next year is hitter development. Hopefully by 2007 both ends will come together and we'll be competitive.
I do like Schaefer's ideas on the bullpen.
