Sub-par power and poor on-base skills

We're asking about Juan Encarnacion? Why? In 3339 career ABs, Juan E. went .265/.311/.439, while drawing 199 BBs and striking out 620 times! For a corner OF, that's putrid. He's been even worse in PNC, puking up 51 ABs of .196/.226/.353. As if those stats weren't damning enough, listen to what the experts have to say:

2005 BP: "The Marlins made a good decision to let him go in the fall of '03, waching as Dan Evans signed him to a silly two-year deal. ... Encarnacion looks good in a uniform, plays right field well, and occasionally hits a mistake a long way. He's also one of the worst regular right fielders in baseball."

2004 BP: "Already a problem at a corner outfield spot with sub-par power and poor on-base skills, a nagging shoulder injury he kept under wraps further hurt Encarnacions's production ... If that's what passes for a a Dodger offensive upgrade- at two years, $8 million, no less - expect more punchless flailing at Chavez Ravine."

2000: "Prior to last year, 17 players in major-league history had turned the ugly trick of having no more than 20 walks and at least 100 strikeouts. Five of them were 24 or younger: John Bateman (1963), David Green (1984), Cory Snyder (1986), Benito Santiago (1987) and Craig Paquette (1993)...Encarnacion was also a disappointment defensively, and his once-limitless ceiling now appears as low as Pat Buchanan's presidential hopes."

I agree with these guys. Juan stinks. Like Derek Bell. What is DL thinking? Please don't do it, DL.
