I always prefered Dobbs because of his bat but from these stats it looks like you are right. Bruntlett certainly has the better glove.http://myteamrivals.typepad.com/phightin_phils_phorum/ Interesting stats.

He can't hit when he's playing. When he's used as a pinch hitter he gets in the zone. btw I’ve been saying that all along that Dobbs should ONLY pinch hit. He can’t hit when he’s playing.

Why did we not go after Pudge is beyond me. I’m sure this was mentioned, but the Yankees got Pudge for a nobody. Why did we not go after Pudge is beyond me.

Dobbs hits over .300 vs Righties.... so start him against the righties, but start Bruntlett against the lefties they both hit only .250 vs Lefties….

The statistics about Dobbs not hitting as well as a starter is a small sample size, plus Bruntlett's avg is like 7 points higher. I don't have a problem taking him out late for a defensive replacement, but the thought of having Bruntlett getting four at-bats a game rather than Dobbs just doesn't seem like a wise choice.

Dobbs seems to struggle as a starter, offensively and defensively. He's been the best pinch hitter in the league and the best in Phillies history, I think he needs to stay there. I like how Bruntlett played when filling in for Jimmy earlier in the year and he gets my vote as the starter. When the Phillies are in the late innings of a close game, I love knowing we have a serious weapon in Dobbs that can come in and really produce in a big spot. I agree with Tim here.

Anyway I see the numbers on the two players but I still like Dobbs in the lineup for 4 at bats..Put Bruntlett in for defence in late innings I like the way you spelled chucnky……..

Anyway, I agree. And it certainly makes more sense than what Charlie did last night, subbing Bruntlett at third so early in the game (bottom of the 7th, I think) with only a two-run lead. Huh?
