Best hitting pitcher on the team

[DPMOmaha]

We've got a couple who seem to be pretty good.

[Sharp]

It's objectively been Stras this year, but it's a very, very small sample.  If he's still hitting like this when he gets shut down I'll obviously change my vote.

...Ugh, meant to say Zimmermann.

[zimm_da_kid]

stras is batting .308 which is the same as e-jax except stras has 3 doubles.  Gio only has 2 hits so he's lagging behind.  our staff hits better than nady and derosa it's really kind of pathetic

[The Chief]

Courteous of you to include Detwiler but he's definitely the odd-man out of the rotation as far as batting goes.  Nobody can ever top how awkward Lannan was with a bat, but Ross comes pretty close.

I do love that 4/5 of our rotation are far from automatic outs.

Yeah, someone reminded me of that not too long ago.  Definitely the quintessential blind squirrel.

Remember last year when the Phils introduced their 4 aces and they included Joe Blanton?

[The Chief]

Also worth mentioning that Craig Stammen has shown some real hitting ability on more than one occasion.  DPM's poll is biased against relievers

He's got a 3.24 ERA and a 1.080 WHIP so far this year

But yeah, that's funny.  joe_blanton_r_u_kidding_me?

[RyanTheRiot]

Edwin Jackson. The guy was drafted as a hitter.

[CALSGR8]

Gio

And John Lannan!

I'd actually take Gio, if I had to draft one of these guys to hit.  He just hits balls the hardest.

[Bloo]

Add Craig Stammen to the poll.

[PowerBoater69]

EJax

[Obed_Marsh]

Gio will crush the others when refined, he is raw hitting talent. To say nothing of his smile which is worth at least 10 wins.

[GburgNatsFan]

Man-crushing?

Did you see the shots of him in the dugout last night actually tickling Edwin Jackson?

[Kevrock]

Easy answer.

Sarcism mostly although I do like Gio even if EJax is the better hitter. Smiles being worth wins is a long running joke.

[EdStroud]

From last nights GDT when Nats two idiot announcers were talking about pitchers pinch hitting

*Dudes got 6-2B and 10 RBI in 71 total ABs

[Minty Fresh]

Rick Ankiel.

Seriously, I voted for JZ, best all around hitter/bunter on the squad IMHO.

[imref]

love the fact that Strasburg has hit as many doubles as he's allowed (#3).

BTW, shouldn't harper get some mention given his high-80's / low-90's arm?
