I'm right there with you. I cheer against the guy, but when the moment counts he always seems to be there. That's probably why he gets the rep...
That pretty much sums up your argument: Better BA = Better Hitter. Nothing could be farther from the truth.
B-Bob, They very well may, I'll probably look into it, but I would say that it would have as much to do with sample size as anything else. I...
Gosh, here we go again with the clutch. :mad: Jeter's career regular season batting average = 0.317 Jeter's career post-season batting...
Actually, after looking at some numbers, it wouldn't be a difficult argument to make that Jeter is a better offensive SS than Tejada. Since...
I wouldn't go so far as to call him an average player, he's a pretty good offensive shortstop (career OPS = 0.851, not too bad) who is not in the...
Edit to add that Soriano had the worst Fielding % in the AL in 2001 & 2002, and finished next to last in 2003.
I suggest you do your homework. Jeter has been the worst defensive SS in the majors for the past 5 years. Over this period (which is the...
Brown's numbers will suffer a dramatic drop, as he is a sinkerballer and one of the most prolific ground ball pitchers in the majors. The fact...

#2 by a nose ahead of Payton, and behind Jim Brown by a substantial margin.
I agree that a lot of people take Moneyball way out of context. The point of the book wasn't that Beane thinks that high OBP players are the best...
Perhaps I didn't phrase my argument correctly. Obviously the club's pitching is the big reason it is so successful, and I said exactly that....
Yeah, I've read it multiple times. :D Good, good book.
1. It's all about sample size. One year of data is better than half a year. Three years is better than one year. You can argue that Lilly will...
A few points in response. 1. Lilly is not a 'very good pitcher'. He's a 'slightly above average pitcher'. Posting a career sub-0.500 record...
Wow, that is a complete misconception of the A's organization. They are far from having a fire sale, the recent acquisitions are in perfectly...
San Diego gets screwed in this deal. They were the only other team to pursue Ausmus, but it looked like they were going to get a solid catcher...
