@baseballhall @Yankees Wasn’t he a 5 time World Series champion?

[BiggioBaseball @BaseballBiggio]

@nelson_rod78843 @MLBPipeline @Rockies Uh. That was a double.

[BiggioBaseball @BaseballBiggio]

@Spankywinker @MLBNetwork @Angels @JakePeavy_22 Actually the underlying metrics say he was VERY unlucky last year. He hit .236, his expected batting average was .260. He slugged .485, expected .549.
That’s the 8th highest expected slug in all of baseball for guys with 500 PAs.
The underlying metrics are actually pretty great.

@mike_petriello @lowellfield Like 90% of fans want it.

@RetroCardSnaps Nope

@nut_history No

[BiggioBaseball @BaseballBiggio]

@InRingNuisance @gallagwar .194/.319/.456 is objectively better offensive player than .259/.296/.420. Obp and slugging correlate with run scoring at a much higher degree than batting average.

@nut_history Oakland

@SLU3B81 @OleTimeHardball 1500 more plate appearances, that’s more like 2-2.5 extra seasons. And Rice was only slightly a better hitter, as Evans OBP makes up for most of him trailing Rice in other stats. But Evans’ defense was vastly better than Rice’s was.

@eriquez_matt @LMCDiscDoggin @_24kin Your looking at fielding percentage to try to prove a guy is a good defender? 😂😂😂
His range is awful, he only makes plays on balls hit right at him.

[BiggioBaseball @BaseballBiggio]

@Spanorocks @_24kin I watched them play, arraez hit a lot of singles with virtually no power, awful defense and bad baserunning.
Hard to get much value out of that skill set unless you’re getting on base at a ridiculous clip, which he didn’t.

[BiggioBaseball @BaseballBiggio]

@SliderDominate @notgaetti Not making outs brings more valuable. The obp difference here is huge!

[BiggioBaseball @BaseballBiggio]

@NY_EvilEmpire Nice how you choose to ignore the rest of the playoffs.

[BiggioBaseball @BaseballBiggio]

@TheRyanBidwell @JustBB_Media Maybe so, but Kaufman is still the better hitters park. Look up the park factors if you don’t believe me.

[BiggioBaseball @BaseballBiggio]

@mattmo0530 @JustBB_Media I’m sure you thought the same thing about Larry Walker in Coors field. But it really comes down to Park Factor, Kaufman is a top 4 hitters park in the MLB while Yankee is more middle of the pack. Look it up if you don’t believe me.

[BiggioBaseball @BaseballBiggio]

@Sam_The_Murph @JustBB_Media Obviously not, but if you look at the Park for each, Kaufman is a top 4 hitters park, whit Yankee is more middle of the pack.

[BiggioBaseball @BaseballBiggio]

@TheRyanBidwell @JustBB_Media Yankee stadium may be better for home runs. But Kaufman is the better overall hitters park.
