Nabru asked why Justin Smoak's Def value on Fangraphs was a negative, if he's viewed as a an above average defender at first base. You hypothesized that he is not a good defender, and cited his lack of range as the reason why his Def value is negative. That actually isn't true, and I explained why. Very few first basemen will accumulate a positive rating because of the positional adjustment. Def can be used to compare the value of all players relative to their position. A negative Def rating at first base does not equate to poor defender.

This is accurate.
-
If you set the threshold at 500 innings defensively played at first base, there are exactly zero defenders who have a Def rating that is positive. Surely you're not implying that there are no above average defenders at 1B right? Because that's impossible. The reason is because of the positional adjustment of playing first base (~ -12.5/600 PA). Not because of his eye tested poor range.

I actually chose sugar and spice and everything nice.

Lol I'm not salty? What is the FHRC? Kids these days.

Perfectly put.

Careful guys! Posts on BJMB can jinx an entire lineup. I find the Angels offense to be very potent.

One of them had to hit against David Price last night.

It'll be Navarro. -
Let's go engines!

Ben Revere is just sooo loveable.

Good W. In what world is Smoak not the starting 1B moving forward?
-
Donaldson is going to be 30 next year.
-
Great GDT as usual TL.
-
Ya wtf, Min? Don't be a pussy, this entire game depends on you starting the GDT! Can you guys imagine how big of a deal the GDT will be to Trouba if we are in the WC game? Guy is gonna lose sleep over deciding who should start it.

Nobody is saying Edwin isn't a good hitter anymore. This all started because you cherry picked my sentence in which I said he's an aging, declining slugger (which he is). Saying he's under appreciated would be a stretch, as I think many people here understand exactly what he is- a good DH on a team friendly contract. There is great value to be had from Edwin the rest of this year and in 2016. There is also a group of pitchers between "top of the rotation" and "3's & 4's". No, Edwin is not landing an ace by himself but not moving him for controllable pitching if the opportunity presents itself when you're most likely going to have to decide between him and Bautista after 2016 seems like a mistake.
