Is Hinske an everyday player,when he is healthy?That's it .Pretty simple.

I'm no Blue Jay fan but the fac that he's played 43 of the Jays' 45 games, I'd say yes.

[jeffwarsh]

yes

[bdrotoronto]

yes, he is the everyday first baseman.

Not bad for a Mets fan. Now tell me why i picked Beltran #4 overall in my draft?

I guess 40 SB is out of the question now but I wouldn't be surprised with 20 once he gets to 100% healthy

Actually, Hinke sits occasionally against lefties. The 43 of 45 games stat is a little misleading since there have been a few times that he has sat against lefties and come in to pinch hit, such as last night. But you should expect him to start 85% of the time.

It also not such a bad idea to platoon him if you can against lefties anyway since he does not hit them very well.

I was going to say that!

Now that Koskie is on the DL, Hinske is definitely an everyday player and may even get some time at third in the future (who knows? but Hill is playing very well).

But for the foreseeable future, Hinske will be playing a lot and only sitting for rest or if he gets into a terrible slump (that he seems to have started this week).
