My question is how does Kiermaier have a higher Def runs on fangraphs than Pillar

 

Because Kiermaier is a better defender...

[theblujay]

Because he's not??

 

Pillar as 3.7 projected for around 5.

Kiermaier has 14 projected for 21.

 

Why isn't pillar closer?

[theblujay]

Because Kiermaier is a better defender...

 

Should've said why is his MUCH higher

[GD]

Because Kiermaier is a MUCH better defender...

 

am I missing something here???

[theblujay]

Yeah pillar has 13 DRS Kiermaier has 18

Agreed!,, have you watched Kiermaier the last couple of days? He is a lot faster than pillar and takes better routes to balls. so some spectacular plays made by pillar are routine for Kiermaier.

 

Also Kiermaier has a cannon of an arm. Pillar has a few assists this year but he has a pop gun arm and teams will run on him

[GD]

Yeah pillar has 13 DRS Kiermaier has 18

 

So you're asking why Pillar's DRS is so much higher than his UZR?

[KingKat]

Here's how the number break down:

 

Arm

Pillar 2.1

Kiermaier -0.9

 

Range

Pillar 1.1

Kiermaier 13.8

 

Error Runs

Pillar 0.4

Kiermaier 0.1.

 

So basically Pillar has a better arm, Pillar makes fewer errors, Pillar plays a great overall mistake free CF but none of that comes close to making up for the fact that Kiermaier has otherworldly range that Pillar simply can't touch.

[theblujay]

So you're asking why Pillar's DRS is so much higher than his UZR?

Yeah I guess

[ElNik2013]

Good stuff from Pillar this year, easy to root for him.

[GD]

Yeah I guess

 

DRS is more preferential to extremely difficult plays

Christ, I thought I could escape theblujay's dumb by ILing him but I guess I was wrong. Holy f*** man, try watching more baseball than just the Jays before making comparisons.

Nah it's ok it's cleared up now. You're still the dumb one

Consider anger management classes.

[Boxcar]

Consider anger management classes.

 

I will thanks. You are definitely the one person who should be giving me guidance in that regard.

[LTR]

I will thanks. You are definitely the one person who should be giving me guidance in that regard.

 

We'll go together. Afterwards we'll fight.

[ElNik2013]

That babip though. Also i believe Colby isn't playing CF, he's playing LF in an easy yard.

 

And making 8M.

[ElNik2013]

Anthony Gose = .1 WAR

 

 

Devon Travis = 1.3 WAR.
