OK, that's the consensus. I'm done "trolling" for the day. See ya.
-
He can't hit 3rd or 4th because he doesn't drive in runs. The manager obviously knows this.

The GM was being defensive. It's happened before. He makes mistakes, just like all of us. Please don't ask me to list his mistakes - please. And folks, there is no need to jump ugly with me. I enjoy discussing ball with you guys, so let's just calm down, ok?
-
My only point was that he doesn't contribute enough. Just trying to answer the question asked in the thread header. Sorry for getting all your knickers in a bunch.

Here we go again. RBIs are a "team" stat. That's precisely why I used the example of his BA and OBP with the bases loaded. .206 and .297, respectively. No other teammate is responsible for his inability to contribute at a reasonable level with these potential runs on the bases. Irrefutable fact. Plain as day.

68 real runs batted in for the top paid player on the team, a middle of the order hitter. And 13% of them came in the garbage time last ten games. Those are real facts.
-
LOL. Really?
-
Just because I used your own convoluted logic on you?
-
Among the convoluted excuses I've heard on his lack of run production is the phrase that the goal is not to make an out. The goal is to score runs and some hitters are better at driving them in than others. Yes, I realize Drew's in play percentage is low and that contributes to his inability to drive runs in. As do his inferior averages with RISP.

Jonathan Van Every .364 .462 .636 1.098

Using your logic, Jonathan Van Every produced 1400 runs.
-
I used bases loaded so as to take away your wiggle room that a walk is as good as a run. The only situation where that is true is with the bases loaded, and he FAILS in that situation.
-
Seriously, you guys will resort to any excuse for Drew's failure to produce runs. I don't get the adoration. Look, JD Drew has a lifetime on-base pct of under .300 with the bases loaded. Doesn't matter where he hit or what you consider a "team" stat. A batting average of .206 and OBP of .297 with the bases loaded make JD Drew the anti-RBI man.
-
The Red Sox had 822 RBIs this year. 9 JD Drews in the lineup would net 612 RBIs. Sub standard.
-
Not true. He knows, as do I, that a base hit with a runner on third is ALWAYS better than a walk. He knows, as do I, that a sac fly is almost always better than a walk. He knows, as do I, that scoring runs wins games, walks don't. Walks are a component of an offense, not the goal. An RBI is ALWAYS better than a walk.
-
Not going there again. Just consider me part of the 99.999% of baseball fans who know that scoring runs is more important than simply getting on base.
-
He's hot at the right time.
-
LOL
-
He was a sparkling wine man.

Buccholz.

That's kind of a non sequitur.
