Why is this guy in the major leagues? He's batting .173 in 75 AB for the Oakland Athletics. The guy can't fucking hit...
Puppet manager Bob Geren is quoted as saying Hannahan is one of the best defensive third basemen in the league. When I say puppet manager, you know GM Billy Beane is pulling Geren's strings...
Let's see. Last season, Hannahan had 436 AB and batted .218 with 131 strike outs. I'd venture to say that is probably the lowest batting average of any player with 400 AB in the major leagues last season...
Perpetually injured Eric Chavez and Nomar Garciaparra who is also injured the majority of the time doesn't help matters @ 3rd base for the A's.
Bobby Crosby, the former starter @ shortstop has played every infield position for Oakland this season, but is batting only .203, which is still 30 points higher than Hannahan.
Why is this Hannahan kid so revered in the A's organization?
And I was correct, last season .218 was the lowest average of any major league player with 400 or more AB.
