When “rudimentary” stats like RBIs BA OBP and SLG are bad, your advanced stats are likely bad as well. That’s nothing but a cop out to sound you know the game. In big sample sizes “rudimentary” stats define a player as good as advanced stats, period. If you are a 200 hitter for 7 seasons you are likely not a good hitter. It’s that simple.
Said that, all the hype on Anthony isn’t helping him. Right now he looks like a subpar player with durability concerns.
Do I still believe he’s going to comeback? Absolutely. Yet, Is he a concern even this “early”? In my book he is.
