Batting average, wins, fielding percentage and saves don’t have a lot of value anymore. Notin is THE baseball fan here. The rest of us just collect ice cream mini batting helmets.
Next time, add a date in the title and it’ll be more likely to be noticed? IDK. I’d merge it with this thread, but I’m on my phone at a kids bday party. 🧁
Maybe there’ll be double thread mojo!
Feel free to write so much with saying so little.
Rafaela faces lefties about 26% of the time, because that's about how much the entire Sox faced last season! This means that Rafaela's 613 OPS vs RHP is what we get 75% of his AB's! If Abreu is only facing lefties a quarter of the time, big whoop! Hold your nose! He has the 8th most PA's of any RFer in MLB! He has the 5th most PA's of any Red Sox! Even more than Rafaela! Does this mean Rafaela is no longer a fulltime player? Abreu has only missed 2 games so far. He's a fulltime player with 30 more total bases than Rafaela (59% more than Ceddanne), twice the bb rate AND has a GG.
Rafaela is starting to come into his own this year, but your weird "Abreu is not a fulltime player" schtick is kinda wild.
Mata has only had 2 appearances where he hasn't given up a run. I don't think he has a shot. I think it's just Kelly, Guerrero, Burdi, Campbell, Drohan, Mills, Stock and Winckowski.
Why? How is it different than any other player?
Casas has a number. The team has a number. A third party determines which number they like better. Where's the rub?
