ESPN.com: MLB – Vladimir, Marlins pitcher trade missed punches in brawl
The key quote is Robinson’s: “I think pitchers take their liberties. The pitcher thinks, “I’ll go inside and if I hit him, I hit him. If he’s hurt, he’s out of the lineup, and we have a better chance of winning.”
Guerrero is a great hitter, the most potent in the game today, but he is a marked man. Whether he draws 60 intentional walks this year, or gets knocked out after being hit by a pitch, he’s so far ahead of everyone else that he’s going to have a hard time getting pitches to hit.
He doesn’t mind that. He seem to hit most everything, except what’s in his face. I suggest using his high projected fantasy price as an excuse to let someone else take on a lot of risk (not that I did that in the XFL, but that’s another story).
