94 Years and Counting wonders why Todd Walker isn't hearing the boo birds?

Well mainly because Todd Walker has no expectations on his shoulders. Too most Cubs fans Mark Grudz is a lot better even though Walker has near identical fielding stats and swings a much better stick. Patterson has the expectations of living up to his first half last year. Derek Lee has the expectations of being the 50 HR first basemen that many Cubs fans thought he should be.

While Todd Walker's batting average is now down around the likes of Patterson and Lee he still has a .350 OBP, and doesn't strike out much. Which is a breath of fresh air from watching Patterson and Lee strike out so much. Couple that with Sammy Sosa, A-gonz, Am-Ram, and a few others this team doesn't make enough contact.

I think the fans appreciate a guy who can work the count and put the ball in play even if his hits aren't dropping. Its a hell of a lot better than a whiff at the plate.

Ofcourse this is my opinion. It could be fans love mullets, just like fans can't bring themselves to boo A-gonz because he is sooooooooooo cute. -rolls eyes- Who said fans weren't shallow?
