why? because people believe there is more to evaluating a player than fucking Wins above fucking replacement?

Stats are what tells us if his BA, which is stupid stat in the first place, is sustainable or not. LD%, BABIP, Contact %, they all tell us what you seem to think stats can't tell us. Why would we change our rebuild plan based off of how he does this month? He's a space filler, it's not like he is the 1B of the future or anything even close to that.

Congrats, you coached. I bet that was a fun thing to do. I'm not saying you don't know anything, I'm saying that being a coach doesn't matter. I realize what you're saying, but numbers are going to tell us more than the eyeball will and they don't bullshit around.

What does this even mean? eyeball + stats = pretty good idea on a players skillset. not just stats, and fangraphs bullshit

It's been said that the one who first begins yelling or calling the other vulgar names... is the one that has lost the debate.

I swear and become vulgar before I even read CO's posts.

If Soto weren't slower than my grandmother, LaHair could've had another RBI :lol:

He does run like his grandma is securely strapped to his back.

nice. Where did I saw anything about WAR?

Don't get your panties in a bunch. I simply said this thread set baseball back.

I made no argument for either side because that's not really how this website works.

I'll bite.

What percentage of each? I mean obviously if you are going off both there has to be one you weigh more than the other. Since you generally for the most part say nothing concrete I'm interested to hear your answer.
