Will Ellsbury be back after his contract ends?
Emmz replied to redsoxbeatz's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
Ellsbury will get a huge payday if he continues to play something like this for the remainder of the season, considering 27 is when most players enter their prime, he could easily get 15 mil a year, he's one of the premier leadoff hitters in the majors. -

This has something to do with the Red Sox game?

You're abusing the word squarely to make it seem like he's way above average, when he isn't. These stats are pretty much just the same as regular stats, if you look, his wOBA is pretty close to his OBP, and I already gave you that he was a plus defender. His offense is not very good, any stat you use shows he's above average, but average means you're pretty awful. FanGraphs will have him as a huge win just because he's elite defensively at his position, and he's above the average offensively. WAR is not accurate in all situations, and for someone who keeps track of my discussions with other members, you should know I've said this more than once. WAR certainly isn't accurate in saying that Gardner was worth 25 million last year, if you think it is, you're delusional.

Actually, Chone Figgins gets caught stealing lots too. Figgins was overrated as hell too, just because he got on base at a decent clip and was a solid hitter. Even after the good year he had with the Angels I never supported the Red Sox trying to get him. Perfect match for Gardner.
-
If you really think just being above the league average offensively is "good" then I guess he is good.
-
Offensively, he's Chone Figgins, that's who I compare him to, except he gets caught stealing a lot.
-
ZZZZ, all stuff I knew, technically his OPS is above average too, yawn, all of this is stuff that's pretty much accounted for with non-sabermetric stats. It doesn't make him very good offensively. He gets on base well enough, he doesn't have the power to hit line drives that will keep pitchers from pitching right at him. He won't last very long in the majors without any sort of power whatsoever. Your stats there actually support my argument that he's mediocre.
-
Hovering over it, it says "cougar sounds". Lol
-
Are you really this stupid, or is you trollin'? How would it be a fail for Pedroia if he gets into position to score more often, yet he finishes with less runs scored than Crawford? Absolutely one of the most ridiculous things I've heard on this forum, along with some of your other posts.
-
He's a good outfielder, that's about it. He's a good outfielder in a corner spot, which also inflates his value. He's a mediocre hitter and a mediocre base runner with good speed. He's nothing special, certainly isn't worth over 10 million a year. (Or 25 million last year, LOL) I'm done with this one, obviously cannot get through to you, you must be having a bad day or something.
-
You just posted it without any backing otherwise. Usually WAR goes with other stats as a support. You don't have the backing stats. Anyways, his WAR is inflated by his UZR, which is the best fielding stat available, but almost anyone will tell you, that it's not reliable. UZR is actually very flawed. Several players who are considered elite defenders of their positions end up with negative UZR sandwiched in between two seasons that were well above average. The corner outfield positions from what I've seen, are among the most effected, along with first base. So where's your backing up? I've done mine. Where's yours? You haven't done one thing so far except throw out WAR, which you consider to be undefeatable, regardless of what kind of logical argument can be made. I can be an ass out of frustration too.
-
Lol, WAR doesn't work because it's obviously flawed in some cases. JD Drew wasn't even worth that much in 2008 or 2009 when he was on base almost 40% of the time, with over .900 OPS. Gardner is a decent glove at a position where it really doesn't matter, anyone with a decent glove can play a corner outfield position competently. He's average at best offensively.
-
I think it's very safe to say that WAR is just a wee bit off, seeing as though he has yet to produce anywhere close to an .800 OPS season, but see it through pinstriped glasses if you want, your argument is way off. WAR is not the end of all discussions, whether you want it to be or not. His production is horseshit, .730 OPS is not productive. He's a mediocre offensive player who's a plus in the field.
-
"600 less games" "Two years younger" "50% of the cumulative stats". lol http://memeshack.com/areyouawizard/Are-you-a-wizard2.jpg

Usually you use OBP+, with some UZR, but since OBP+ says he's just mediocre, you use fWAR because it makes him look like he has value. I'm glad you give me the opportunity to expose the flaw in this argument, he was worth $24.9 million dollars last year. WAR does not work here, obviously. He's good for about a .730-750 OPS in NYS, which is under 100 OPS+ (Just going by his career). That's very mediocre, and he's vastly overrated.
-
Lol, over the past month, Crawford has about the same numbers as his career averages suggest he's capable of. .300 or so hitter with .335 OBP. Pedroia is a .300ish hitter with a .375 OBP. There's a significant difference. Pedroia will always be in a position to score more often than Crawford as long as they're both healthy.
-
He's prolly too sore to even come on Talksox from the way he's been talkin'.
-
He was getting on base, now if he can keep hitting... If the Red Sox got Beltran... *drools*
-
Pile some more on, make this one bullpen proof.
-
I was thinking more injury, considering how he's so big, and he hasn't been healthy for some time. His stuff is as good as it was when he was with the Angels, I just didn't see him remaining healthy, I think it's hard to expect someone like him to pitch a full season either.
-
I think this lead is Wheeler proof even.
-
I don't see how they're not fortunate, considering they have 3 terrible starting pitchers, and that lineup is aging fast. They're very fortunate to have the record they have.
