I dunno, compared to the threads where he's actually trying to make legitimate points, this one is arguably more informative -
Scrub = replacement level AAA depth.

It's different if the Jays were at ground zero of a rebuild like Houston. They can give 500+ PA to a 25 year old defense first guy to see if he'll amount to anything with the bat when they know they're only going to win 50ish games in a season. The Jays, who are supposedly in the middle of a contention push, cannot afford to give 500+ PAs on that kind of player.

Pedro Alvarez inside the park HR - looks like a fan interfered on reply but maybe it was over the wall, maybe it wasn't. http://wapc.mlb.com/play/?content_id=30573295

That's some piss poor defense from Sierra... Guy can't take a good route on a fly ball to save his life

f*** wRC+ ... "batting average is the best way to evaluate a hitter." - theblujay

Rbi's are hard to come by when they have a great lead off hitter, then Baker puts a guy with a sub .300 OBP in the 2 hole

Melky didn't tell the team until he was rehabbing on his latest injury according to AA, and when he told them finally, he said it had been bothering him since 4 months prior. That's what AA said in the interview anyhow

Probably wont be scored a stolen base, but that's too big a gap with 6 outs to be taking bases IMO
-
Rajai taking second while up 6 runs in the 8th? That's pretty gay mr davis

Why are hookers and cocaine considered a downward spiral?

I think your argument fell apart when you said that trading for Happ was trading for "a name."
-
I think when you take into account that the Jays have allowed the 2nd most runs and third most Earned runs in all of baseball, yet scored the 9th most, you would realize that run prevention, not run scoring was far more responsible for the Jays not scoring more than their opponents.

one shot of a guy sweating and the universe thinks Dickey is crying in the dugout... holy f*** people...

The entire rant was a giant strawman blowing in the wind.

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?
-
I actually like Goins defensively, solid fundamentals.
