Comments on: What Ichiro Can Teach Us About Aoki http://reviewingthebrew.com/2013/02/07/what-ichiro-can-teach-us-about-aoki/ A Milwaukee Brewers Fan Site - News, Blogs, Opinion and More Mon, 25 Mar 2013 20:51:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.1 By: Louis Olsen http://reviewingthebrew.com/2013/02/07/what-ichiro-can-teach-us-about-aoki/comment-page-1/#comment-200786 Louis Olsen Mon, 11 Feb 2013 15:38:00 +0000 http://reviewingthebrew.com/?p=6696#comment-200786 Thank you for reading. I certainly understand that I am grasping at straws with this, but I believe that Aoki will prove himself this season. And if he puts up even stronger numbers, we may not be able to keep him around. That is something I would like us to avoid. As for Rickie Weeks, I just don't see him as a true lead off hitter. He has too much power and not enough plate discipline for my taste.

That's a whole lot of fluff that results in no insight on the topic. Did you conveniently forget about Weeks as a legitimate hitter? He does hold a career .350 OBP while you proclaim one season of Aoki and his .355 OBP as a legitimate leadoff hitter.
