    Very interesting piece and he makes a lot of pretty good points to think about that many have probably never thought of before.

    So ... Let me understand. You believe that getting hits is the most important part of the game. So if two p,ayers are hitting .260, it is your contention that they are equally talented at getting base hits. So then, how would you ever decide even after watching both players say, over a full season, which one you'd rather have on your team if the most important stat you have says the players are equally talented in the most important part of the game? I'm going to a banquet is ill be back later to answer whatever it is you come up with.

    So what you're saying is you can't tell based on batting average how good these two players are? Seems like you're making a pretty solid argument against batting average as being,as you said, the most important stat. And again, stop with the strawman crap. Nobody wants to eliminate watching games and players.

    Christ. Player A hits .260 Player B hits .260 Which one is more valuable?
  5. John_Havok
    I actually like Goins defensively, solid fundamentals.
  6. John_Havok
    That's the crux of it. It's not about being a bad stat, it's about being incomplete and misleading.

    Then you can wait for the first set of blogs that this site will be posting, because if the admins allow me to be one of the writers, it will probably be my first article now.
  8. John_Havok
    I assume you missed the part where he asked to argue that it isn't a good stat....
  9. John_Havok
    Yes I can. It's too bad you wouldn't understand it because it doesn't fit your hive mind view of baseball. I find it hilarious that you constantly have been attacking people in this thread for using advanced statistics as being "hive minded" when the use of such stats are still by far the minority opinion amongst baseball fans. If anything, it's those who are dead set against trying to understand or expand their knowledge of baseball who suffer from a hive mind mentality.

    Sent you a pm mr. admin sir
  11. John_Havok
    I care deeply about batting average. It's a top 50 statistic from which I judge a players offensive talents.
  12. John_Havok
    Mods maybe but not me.
  13. John_Havok
    Well you don't risk getting thrown out and leaving nobody on base with one out. At least a failed bunt still has a guy on base. And when you ask Rajai to lay down a bunt, you're pretty much asking for failure.
  14. John_Havok
    What about three tits?
  15. John_Havok
    Jesus....
  16. John_Havok
    Was thinking the same thing, but gibbons puts in Loup on back to back nights rather than going with a fresh arm...
  17. John_Havok
    Probably yes. Interesting fact, there are 34 pitchers(with minimum 30 PA) with a higher WAR than JPA, using nothing but their hitting and defense numbers.
  18. John_Havok
    The jays are going to be in the 140 million dollar range as it is with very little personnel changes due to raises of existing players, so unless they are able to save significant money via trade, expecting huge additions with even 150 million payroll doesn't make much sense.
  19. John_Havok
    Jesus ever living f*** people.... 48 pages on an org guy. Everyone ban yourselves immediately
  20. John_Havok
    Nope. Dead arm for Rogers is a very real possibility.
  21. John_Havok
    He's close to 30 runs saved defensively this year. His previous best was 13 when playing CF for Philly. He is really benefitting from playing RF in Fenway.
  22. John_Havok
    Zero need to waste an option year down the stretch, just wait until next year. I'd like to see him in AAA for a month or two as well. Now that they aren't in Vegas, I think spending some time against some Quad-a hitters will help develop him further
  23. John_Havok
    The Reds just officially added Billy Hamilton to the 40 man roster after outrighting Villareal to the minors.
  24. John_Havok
    If Bard was pitching like Romero it would be a giant improvement for Bard, that should tell you something.
  25. John_Havok
    Already posted in the Around baseball thread.. and yes, he's vey likely done. He walked almost 2 batters per inning this season in the minors.
