He beat out bunts and infield hits and was hitting over .300 by mid April and?the fans just him.He ran so fast in the OF (no replica Longines L5.655.4.16.6 Men's watch Carlos the Jackal, mind, and he couldn't hit the cutoff man) but the fans didn't care.He hit .291 (had an on base of .321 because he only walked 25 times in 638 PA, but who cares and slugged .341, but who cares because he stole 34 bases.
Yeah, he got caught 11 times and didn't steal but 11 after the break, but so what?) He lost out to Ryan Howard for ROY, but the fans ADORED him.He didn't do quite as well in 06 in fact, Phil started playing Chris Burke in center in June after Willy could only manage a .260 BA.Willy got lucky because Burke, who was hitting .300 as a CF and playing remarkably well for a guy who had never played CF before, re-injured his shoulder and replica Longines L2.640.4.78.3 watch had to go on the DL and never recovered his stroke.Willy actually ended up having a better year, cut down on his Ks (funny that the Astros fans never held that against him), slightly increased his walks and managed to slightly increase his OBP in spite of a lower average, but he was traded to Colorado in the infamous Jason Jennings trade in the offseason.
At the beginning of the 07 season, some guy kept bringing a sign to the Box which said “I want my Willy back” which I personally thought was a really stupid sign for a guy to wave about, but I digress.Anyway, Burkie-poo failed to raise his BA over .230 and screaming fans demanding blood caused the Organization to call up Pence at the end of replica Longines L2.194.4.53.3 watch April and that was the end of Willy-itis.He posted a career high .728 OPS (89 OPS+) over 408 PA for the Rox in 07, but then descended into suckitude to suck a point that he lost playing time to Cory Sullivan (now in the Astros minor leagues) and then to Ryan Spilborghs in 08 in spite of the fact that Willy posted a career high 68 SB.
