Tim Salmon's speech

Frankly I don't see anything wrong with the way Spiezio looks.

Are you talking about Darin Erstad?

Darin Erstad lifetime with the Angels: BA .291 (1505 hits /5163 AB's) for a average .735 OPS with a successful stolen base percentage of 76.9% (170 SB/ 221 Attempts), not to mention a lifetime field percentage of .996. 

Angels would absolutely KILL to have a guy like him in the lineup these days. 

That's not exactly saying much.

I don't want this to be a dumb argument over semantics. But he had a career 96 OPS+ with the Angels. That's slightly below average. 

A solid replacement for Marsh. That's about it.

I'm not downplaying his career; in fact my post was doing the opposite. But here we are.

To put it in perspective Erstad career OPS+ is 93, Stassi is a 94 this year.
