695 over almost 2,000 AB’s in his career, most of which took place in a much better offensive environment. He just doesn’t drive to ball against...
Guy on another board went to see Brown today at RR and said he was straight unhittable filth until he ran out of gas in the 5th. I’d really like...
The only statistical argument against platooning that you could make (specifically as it relates to Chas and Brantley) is Chas doesn’t have a...
My stats are exactly correct. We are literally talking about a platoon and the only stats you consider in a platoon are hitting vs the other...
I don’t want another guy at a premium offed I’ve posting (LF and 1B) without pop. It was less of a big deal when we had power up the middle in...
There is literally no reason absent size you can’t play 1B if you can competently play middle IF. The reason most teams wouldn’t do that, of...
This is why I was so high on Bryant this off-season/ insurance against Yuli and Brantley getting old and then fill in multiple places on the...

No- it’s held up and is still relevant/current. Modern saber metrics trace to Bi James in the 80’s and 90’s and implementation in the 2000’s under...
2nd hitter is supposed to be your best hitter. Leadoff guy is supposed to be your fastest of the best 3 hitters on your team. Alex Bregman is...
No- I want us to trade for a big hitting first baseman and then hit said 1st baseman 3rd and Peña 6th. Bottom of the order would be Bregs, Meyers...
I will take it. Hit him 7th and I’m good.
This is a really silly argument on Meyers: 1) The Astros FO was incredibly high on him- trading away a 3 WAR player that was established (for...
Can Valdez play 3rd base? Asking for a friend…
@harold bingo is a prince amongst men. Paid in full. Good man.
I didn’t see it and don’t know him. I’m not saying I had some unique insight here. The reason I’m bringing this up is because I thought it was...
