I know singling-out a stat is bad news bears around here but I really really want our lead-off guy to GET ON BASE. Do I care whether it's a walk or a single? I do not.
Among 29 other players with at least 300 PA'S in the majors in the lead-off position this season REYES RANKS 20TH in OBP (look I even knocked the PA down this time).
If you want to think Reyes is worth more than $18 M this year based on his WAR and market value that's your prerogative. I don't think any rational person who watches him play every day would agree with that.
There's no point in arguing with you since you're stubborn as a mule. The fact remains, Reyes is arguably the most over-valued SS in the game and he is one of the key guys AA is building our team with.
Yeah, literally.
I don't know if people are purposely being dim regarding Reyes or not.
WAR is not perfect and whatever the margin of error is I'm sure it's the most with Jose Reyes. The guy just finds ways to give away runs and lose ball games.
I like how people are favoring this.
We're basically in the WORST SPOT IMAGINABLE... basically the highest spot in the standings w/o actually being in contention.... this is the worst thing a baseball team can do for the clubs future viability.
The list stands on its own regardless of the minimum qualification, the data is correct regardless of some players with less PAs being omitted... that in itself makes it not meaningless at all.
