Numbers

 

Stop trolling, retard.

[DigitalRock]

Apparently needs to hit .400 with 50 HRs. Anything less is demotion worthy

 

Nobody expects this, you are making s*** up. Your hyperbole doesnt change reality.

[DigitalRock]

Lmao

 

.247/31/6/24/.783

 

.242/27/7/25/.733

 

The definition of similar

 

lol, you are either just trolling or really, really dumb.

[DigitalRock]

Similar numbers anyway you want to cut it

 

It isnt, and I like how you ignore defense....

[Ex Player]

Can we all try to get along please????

[Daniel Labude]

lol, you are either just trolling or really, really dumb.

 

Anyway you cut that, its similar numbers

[goldbug103]

Difference is that Biggio provides some defensive and base running value. Fatty provides neither of these and can’t hit either. He’s pretty much a hindrance to the team and himself. He needs to fix his mechanical issues, flatten his swing path, whatever it takes or get the f*** out. Minor league games might help rebuild his confidence.

Don't use that word

No again, defense is a big part of baseball, Vlad has been worse, he has negative war right now.

not part of the discussion I'm having though in regards to defense and baserunning

 

Also a lot of this is just...no

[JFD]

Go to fangraphs and sort by any WAR stat. Vlad aint even on the first page lol

[Daniel Labude]

nope. I was discussing his offensive numbers which are very similar to Biggio. You all just want to troll and cry lol

Why, im not discussing defense

[JFD]

Why, im not discussing defense

 

Offence = -1.4

[Daniel Labude]

Off = -1.4

 

Whats that got to do with AVG, R, HR, RBIs and OPS being similar to Biggio?

[Olerud363]

lol...

 

Biggio - wRC+ 120, fWAR 1.2

 

VGJ - wRC+ 100, fWAR -0.1

 

Biggio is also a guy who supposedly had no talent. He was a contact hitter his first year and hit 0 home runs in a-ball.

 

Then he remade himself, taking more pitches and swinging for hard contact at the cost of a mediocre season and a huge number of strikeouts in a+. He stuck with the approach though and here he is.

 

It feels like every at bat Biggio takes a bunch of close pitches. He works hard. Looks in dynamite shape. Plays 4 positions. Is 20-0 as a base stealer.

 

A lot of great things about Biggio, even if he had the same OPS as Vlad (which he doesn't)

Yeah Vlad can't even handle first base. He'd have to out-OPS Biggio by like 100 points to reach the same value.

[Spanky99]

nope. I was discussing his offensive numbers which are very similar to Biggio. You all just want to troll and cry lol

 

He has played every game this year and just got hit in the shoulder/head/face

 

He is playing just as good as Biggio

 

That's what we're talking about, give your head a shake, their offensive numbers aren't close either, who's trolling?

[DigitalRock]

You cannot dismiss a large part of the sport to fit your narrative, it doesnt work that way.

[DigitalRock]

Why, im not discussing defense

 

Biggio has better numbers too..lol. Again you cannot hand wave away other aspects of the sport.
