I guess it comes down to the fact that the former rbi leaders, which proves how ignorant this guy is, all hit in the 3 or 4 hole and therefore, are the best hitters in the game. END OF DISCUSSION, THATS IT, THANK YOU, GOOD BYE!
First, stop using the 4 hole as an example because no is arguing against that. And because someone did something 50 years ago its correct now, even after people in the industry spent a lot of time analyzing line up construction and ran the math and found out that the optimal lineup is with your best hitters hitting 1st, 2nd, 4th and 5th, we should listen to what people who havent actually spent time looking at the numbers?>
Mitch Wiliams is the best example of this. Former mlb closer and now has this delusional perception of what makes a good player. Because he did it and was praised by his fans throughout his career, he now honestly thinks a good closer is more valuable than the best pitcher in baseball
As someone who plays sports on a fairly regular basis, I'm offended.
We all play sports, the argument of that the people over at mlb.com know more than the rest of us because they put on a suit and are on tv is just getting so old.
It isnt us you idiot. Its professionals who analyze the game and have spent a lot more time than ex players and "experts from mlb.com" in determine what constitutes a good player and finding any advantage a team can. Because we arent dumb jocks and actually have an open mind we are someone inferior to your baseball knowledge right. The above 2 posters keep refuted your points, yet all you can comeback with is that they cant read properly.
Lol no he doesnt, he prefers to talk out of his ass and use what a bunch of old guys tell him is right rather than use new data because its to complicated for him. This is a guy who uses a 30AB sample over what someone did the previous 2 seasons to determine tendencies
