Delgado has had some bumps and bruises but nothing serious enough that you can attribute his performance to it.
Maine has a good swing for a pitcher but on anything that moves, he has no chance. And if it's a fastball, it has to be up in the zone. Basically, the pitcher has to hit his bat. - Mike Pelfrey
ARCH wrote:Delgado still only hitting .216 against left handers and just .251 overall. I also can't see him hitting many more than 30 HR's or 100 RBI's. That's pathetic considering he's hitting clean up in that lineup.
He's also sitting more and more against lefties.
30 and 100 is pathetic? Wow! Considering Delgado has NEVER been a 50 homer guy that quite the bold statement. Also, like others have said, he is quite streaky. a couple years ago he was injured for part of the year and it looked like there was no way he would get to 30 and 100. he went on a tear in Sept and Aug and ended up with 33 and 99. He still may impress. But I wouldn't consider 30 and 100 a bust.

I'm not taking any sides here, but do you employ a selective reading technique? ARCH's quote was "That's pathetic considering he's hitting clean up in that lineup." The Mets do have a pretty stacked lineup, so 100 RBI flat isn't much impressive from their cleanup hitter.

His power numbers are all still there for the most part, so I wouldn't be surprised to see him hit. .290-.300 35 110 next year. Just the way he goes..... and just the reason I don't usually have him on my team.

Summed up nicely. I agree, for some reason I never have him on the team and this is why.

Maybe he was drinking?
Anyways, big congrats to Delgado today with a great debut on the biggest stage of his career so far. I hope he gets a shot at the championship with the Mets. He deserves it after going through all those years with the Jays with absolutely no team success.
