He repeated AAA in 07, had only a .217 BA, but had 36 doubles and 22 HR and drove in 70 hitting second.Maybe the Organization was disappointed with his low GIDPs and 2:1 K:BB ratio (and he walked 60 something times in 530 AB can't have that.) Anyway, he spent 08 with AAA Oakland, had? an .869 OPS.Had 19 lousy ABs with the ML club.He replica Longines L4.709.2.11.8 watch spent most of 08 with AAA Atlanta, had 54 AB, 11 H, scored 7 runs, drove in 8, 1 double, 2 triples, 2 HR.He might not have been Barry Lamar, but he sure nuff was a LOT better than Jason Freaking Smith.
But failing to either utilize or trade Conrad wasn't NEAR as bad as losingSS Ben Zobrist who was a 25 year old SS at AA who was the best hitter on the team and yes, I mean better than Hunter Pence.He was supposed to be the great hitting, great fielding, switch hitting?SS who would replace Adam Everett and at the time of the STUPID trade to Tampa Bay for Aubrey?Freaking Huff, he was hitting replica Longines L2.643.4.73.6 Men's watch (unlike Pence, he walks).473/.907 you know who went to TB, right? Yes, Gerry Hunsicker, who has managed to get hold of more than a few GOOD players the Astros didn't want but I digress.
Anyway,?Zobrist had 183 lousy AB at the ML in 06, spent 07 at AAA, was called back up in 08, hit for power, played all over the diamond, and as a full time 2B last year, hit.Of course, he DID strike out 104 times and GIDP only 7 times and we can't have THAT.You talk about a BAD trade that is usually overlooked replica Longines L5.155.5.16.7 Ladie's watch Aubrey Huff the guy Benny Zobrist (and pitcher Mitch Talbot) was traded for when the Astros started worrying that perhaps the shoulder injury that Mo Ensberg had sustained in May really wasn't healing very well and he had an .819 OPS the same as Mo did.
