Since then I think he has struggled a bit, hasn’t he?
-
Wonder whether they are going to call Cordero again.
-
I was very high on Bobby entering the season. I still have faith on him but my patience is not limitless lol
-
… or maybe Duran will play at 2B and Kike will keep his job at CF. MVP says it is very unlikely though.
-
He is on pace to post something around 3.2 fWAR this year. He never ever was that close to that figure which is very good. IMO nobody thought Barnes was going to be this good —3.2 fWAR.
-
Very good is a great thing moon lol What did I miss? Somehow you and mvp are trying to minimize the adjetive.
-
Thing with Mo, which is the most impressive thing among relievers is that he was very good for a very long period of time. Very few are close to that achievement. Papelbon is one lol
-
I just gave u my rule-of-thumb for relievers based on fWAR. Barnes had three years below 1. One at 1 and two years just above 1. That’s it.
-
Yeah, no problem. I love what Barnes has showed this far. Hopefully he continues this way.
-
I would say that a fWAR between 2-3 makes you good to very good reliever. Something between 1-2 makes you an average to above average reliever.
-
Managing Percentiles in this case does not make sense. If you suck you suck, it doesn’t matter if most people suck.
-
Good fWAR numbers for relievers could be translated to very good since they don’t have a lot of innings.
-
He never was very good. His best fWAR year was 1.3. It’s that simple.
-
Thing is those players you are pointing out had bad years too, but at their prime they had very good years.
-
Nope.

Thing is that plenty of new variants are already out there and some vaccines do not work well against some. I have read as well that not only new variants but new strains of COVID are out there which is more worrying because the actual vaccines protect you only against COVID19 virus strain. -
Reading that Arroyo is working his D at 1B. Interesting.
-
He actually had 2 negative fwar years which is very bad.
-
It could definitely change for reliever players but still. Plenty of RPs have posted above 3.0 fWAR points in a single year which is considered a Good Player. Barnes has never been close to that level. His best year was a 1.3 fWAR.
-
Nope.
-
which is sad lol
-
Fangraphs' fwar rule-of-thump say that if you post something in between 1 to 2 fWAR points you are considered a role player. If you post something around 0-1 you are a scrub player. Baserd on that, Matt Barnes since 2014, has been 2 times a role player (and closer to be a scrub than solid which is the next level) and 4 times a scrub player. That's it. That's closer to bad than good in my book. That is very very very far from being very good folks.
-
If you rank 21th, you are not very good regardless the contest moon.
-
Porcello compared with very good starting pitchers is not very good even if you evaluate them with fWAR. His best fWAR year was a 5.1 figure. His other years were below 3 most of them which is not very good. David Price had a 6.7 fWAR in a single year. Scherzer, Verlander, Felix, etc were/are very good pitchers. Porcello is/was not.
