@LanceMcAlister It's a weird dynamic where this is even possible. Odd ownership structure, small market, sleepy media, fear or maybe too much respect for the controlling owner, etc. And at the end of the day, some really shitty baseball. Even a blind squirrel should find a nut in 30 years.
@shYNY_Yordy@RMtaxg@_DockEllis More than double production in only 50% more plate appearances, You honestly think KK makes up the difference on defense? No way. Youโre just accepting a number. Look at fWAR compared to bWAR. Itโs pretty obvious which one is a better measure.
@shYNY_Yordy@RMtaxg@_DockEllis There is also a thing called games played. It may be too simple for many, but playing the games actually counts. Davis played in roughly 420 more games. He more than doubled his productivity as an offensive player when comparing career WAR.
@SigmaINFJ5w4@_tkraw_@OleTimeHardball The point is pretty obvious. KKโs defense in no way makes up for his lack of offense, especially considering that he played in roughly 500 fewer games.. and he was elite in his prime, but just couldnโt stay healthy to have an elite career.
@pmattern12 All because he's filling in at 1st base instead of playing his natural position? If he plays average defense at 3rd or 2nd, his WAR would be close to 4. If anything, his defensive versatility makes him more valuable than the average defender.
@rausden@cgarber8 Surely he could write an article about how cats and those identifying as cats are offended that they donโt have a purrrr at the park night.
@RedsFan_Brandon Patience, grasshopper, there will be plenty of plays for the speedy WPM guy to point out the professional athlete's lack of speed. You bit too early.

@CBoxSports When Dick Williams quit to go back into the business world, we all should have taken note. Who quits their dream job as a baseball GM and gets a real job? Thatโs how bad it is with this organization.
@Nicholaspkirby I'm biased (live in the same town), but I think Jett's going to be special. He already is. How many 5'7" guys get drafted in the 1st round out of high school? Great OBP, fast, strong, smart, and gritty. He's Dustin Pedroia, but a few inches shorter.
