Don't be sad for me, brother.
I played 14 years in the big leagues. Then I spent another 10 years scouting and working in front offices.
I was one of the people making these decisions.
So spare me the hypothetical formula bullshit.
You saw four or five games and ran to a spreadsheet. I've watched Colt Keith for years.
My evaluation isn't based on a formula. It's based on decades in professional baseball, thousands of games watched, and years spent evaluating players for a living.
You put a kid in the lineup and let him play. Eventually, the player tells you exactly who he is.
I've seen enough.
Colt Keith is a AAA player. He should be in Toledo right now as an up-and-down depth piece who helps when injuries hit, not a guy making $4 million a year on a contract that guarantees him more than $30 million.
You can disagree with the opinion.
But don't pretend your formula carries more weight than people who have spent their entire adult lives in professional baseball evaluating talent.
You just put your foot in your mouth.
@JimCosta_ The didn’t “try” to give it away idk why people act like these players are malicious toward the fanbase lol.
They’re trying to win every night. Would it help you cope that the losses that you have no control over are lost on purpose?
@glovesdropped@JacobsFieldRBW Poor contact quality isn’t small ball idk where the disconnect is
I’m not saying Martinez hit was poor contact quality either.
Just explaining that bloop singles isn’t small ball because they’re trying to drive the ball in those situations they’re just not executing it
@filibuah@lionsdaylight Yea I mean both teams don’t win so it’s neither here nor there. Ik fans of both teams and I wouldn’t say that either are thrilled at the end of each season. The goals to win. Nobody cares that the 2006 cardinals only won 83 games in the regular season they care they won it all
@filibuah@lionsdaylight Weird. Ik that at the end of the day World Series are the only thing that matters and both have zero. But if you go one step lower the tigers do have more AL Penants in the last two decades if we’re talking that time frame
