Unfortunately this is true. The first time I met Boxy I completely blacked out with rage or something along those lines. I don't remember much (anything) but I'm told I tried to set him on fire.

Using unregressed numbers to imply a platoon skill or lack thereof is a recipe to make poor decisions. The Book's explanation is the standard but here's a nice summary: http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/estimating-hitter-platoon-skill/

What did he say?

You were right about what exactly? That his OBP this year was .342 coming into tonight's game? Well sure, but nobody said you were wrong about that. What you were very wrong about is what that figure means, which is essentially nothing. Both in terms of what we'd project his true talent OBP to be going forward and how that applies to optimal lineup construction which is what this conversation was always about, not OBP.

A) why do you seem to think getting on base is the only relevant skill for a #2 hitter? I assume you bringing up league averages is some sort of ironic angleing on your part given the fact Kawasaki is ~30% below league average offensively. C) thanks for self quoting your own stupidity while trying to call me out to the mods. Makes their lives easier.

What do you think Kawasaki's ability as a hitter is going forward? As, throw out a triple slash.

Fact: True talent .280 wOBA. Fact: that's the worst in our starting lineup. Fact: One of your top 2 hitters should hit 2nd. Fact: the relevant citation to the accepted piece of research on this matter was already posted in this thread.

Are you actually that f***ing dumb?

Proposed new format: Just watch Stanton hit baseballs as far as he can for about 15 mins. That would give me everything I need. -
JA - Pro tip: Don't throw that Fish guy any fastballs low in the zone.

We'll have to wait for the judges' official decision, but that might be an account deleter.

Panic is a hell of a drug.

FTFY Joe Morgan is so 2004.

Racist.

A .280 wOBA guy should never bat 2nd. Ever.

Has there been a Mark DeRosa sighting to anybody's knowledge? What about gritty leader Omar Vizquel?

Getting a team to vastly over value a Sanchez based package is probably the optimal course of action.

So it wasn't just in my nightmares. It's also from Davidi and Lott's book. A relevant excerpt can be found here: http://bluejaymusings.mlblogs.com/tag/rogers/

BTS - you better have the "Fire AA" thread on standby just to be safe. Something bad might happen here.

Saying he's better than effing JA Happ does not equate to thinking he's a world beater.
