@QuinnSTLCards@331TwistedWedge How come with Yadi, you acknowledge that being great defensively is one thing but it’s not a big enough factor to outweigh great offense?
There’s no case for JJ offensively. He’s not one of the better leadoff hitters the way Sal is with run producers.
@13done@gatewaygrinders Your first reply was about only about metrics that can’t be seen. When you look at the stats that those metrics are providing context for, it’s not close at all.
All stats should be used. Not just the ones you want to use that best support your argument. Make sense?
@13done@gatewaygrinders Where did I say they don’t count?
The metrics are good because they provide additional context to traditional stats. Thats why you should be using them all together.
@DaddyFungo@gatewaygrinders Was he a 32 year old rookie? If not, that argument is irrelevant.
If WAR wasn’t useless enough on its own, winning a RF GG with a 3 WAR should tell you all you need to know.
@DaddyFungo@gatewaygrinders That’s great because he plays multiple positions and is leading the league in RBIs. I think a lot of teams would take him.
When he gets into a slump like JJ is in the 2nd half, we can make those comparisons.
@bigbluesguy@331TwistedWedge@QuinnSTLCards Sals been just as effective in away games as home games. He’s only driven in Elly about 18% of the time so less than 1 out of 5 RBIs.
JJ plays in one of the easiest parks to hit singles and those are the majority of hit hits. Should those stats be negated?
@13done@gatewaygrinders Didn’t say that at all. All stats available should be used shouldn’t they?
But your attempt to intentionally misconstrue my tweet is comical and very telling.
@DaddyFungo@gatewaygrinders Nobody’s saying RBI’s are the only thing that matter. That’s the new rallying cry for JJ supporters since his performance fell off.
Having said that Sals what, the 3rd rookie ever to be the first player to reach 100 RBI’s for the year? They’re not meaningless.
