@TitusPullosBurn@_DockEllis@JamesSurowiecki There’s been 6 players in history to have an ops > .880 and 300+ home runs in less than 7000 plate appearances. There’s been 22 guys to have dWAR higher than Jack Wilson and those stats don’t go back nearly as far. So no there is not more guys that can hit like prince
@_DockEllis@JamesSurowiecki Ok sorry. More guys can play elite valuable defense than guys can hit like prince fielder. WAR overweights defense. Don’t agree? Go look at salaries
@gnbdraftscout@JamesSurowiecki For sure, I’m not arguing that at all. Just that elite defensive production doesn’t come close to elite offensive production in terms of value
@_DockEllis@JamesSurowiecki How? Are defensive and offensive value equal? No they’re not. Just because Jack Wilson has the 47th most dWAR and prince fielder isn’t the 47th best hitter doesn’t mean that defense is properly weighted.
@Razorfin_Hunter@RedSoxAsere@bongomansam It is a matter of confidence. I can create my own model that tells me what I want to know. Just because one particular model tells you bunting is bad doesn’t make it true… have you ever taken a statistics class?
@JakeWally I think it’s more-so nightmare to this particular GM. And it’s very likely that it was probably caused by both parties being over promised how much control they had by ownership
@bongomansam This is such a tired and defamatory narrative. We saw what like 2-3 pictures of him and Roman out at bars? FYI all players go out to dinner and have drinks a lot. The 21 year olds went to bars🤯🤯. Direct the frustration toward his fragility and non effort to stay healthy/improve
