    Lot of Jete love by the announcers.

    What a game.

    It's not the money per se that is the problem. It's the length/size that essentially locks out any improvement possibilities for the position for five years.

    That's a good question. I guess I'm s***ing on Drew because you folks are defending his subpar production. I s*** on Ortiz a couple weeks ago, so I guess it's Drew's turn. It won't be his last, as he's only just passed the halfway point of his contract.

    VORP Drew is 14th among right fielders. http://www.baseballprospectus.com/statistics/sortable/index.php?cid=522905 Swisher and Choo are both ahead of him.

    Having said all that, I hope he goes 5-5 tonight with three bombs!!

    He seems like a nice guy. But he's a mediocre at best player. And this team has locked themselves into a subpar performance from RF for five years.

    The object of the game is to score runs. Getting a hit with a man on third achieves the object, getting a base on balls does not.

    No, it's not a bad stat. It's actually the most important stat with runners in scoring position.

    Drew - career stats RISP 2-out: .240 Not RISP 2-out: .287 Difference: .047 RISP: .278 Not RISP: .283 Difference: .005 Conclusion: he pees his pants more when there are two outs.

    LOL of course! As I said earlier, I've read several. You people ought to start out by reading Player Win Averages by E.G. Mills. It's another dated publication but has more credible statistical evidence than Moneyball.

    I "f***ing" will answer any question asked of me if you ask it nicely. His career avg with RISP is .045 lower than his career avg not with RISP. What does that tell you?
  16. rhet
    Moneyball is a dated publication. Even Bill James has softened his negative proclamations about clutch hitting.

    Blind squirrel theory. The man has more than 5,000 plate appearances, so there is a statistically significant sample of events to evaluate him. Pointing to outliers like his playoff home run or last night's game proves nothing.

    Not always.
  22. rhet
    Yeah, he is. .179 with RISP.

    LOL. It's a stat. A legit stat. Just like 20 other legit stats. And like most stats, it has many dependent variables. And it shouldn't be evaluated in a vacuum. The only thing insulting to intelligence is flushing it totally.
  25. rhet
    You are arguing a non sequitur. BA with RISP is a rate that is not dependent on how many times a player gets up with runners on base. You are confusing it with RBI totals, which is not a rate, but an accumulation. Nobody is saying Drew is responsible for putting other guys on base. It's what he does when they are on base that is the problem. Most guys knock them in at a better rate than Drew. That is a fact.
