Than he was, quite frankly, terrible. And, realistically, never would have amassed much playing time, let alone enough to pass any home run records.Quote:

12.12... perhaps that is it? But I certainly never saw such a thing before and I've run a bunch of 50 to 100 year sims...Quote:

The whole point is not to get hits or get on base but to score points. 60 HRs, 158 RBIs and 98 runs is like 30 points a game in basketball. And he played good defense as well.
A basketball player at 30 pts/game and good defense who does not get any rebounds or assist is still a 30 pts/game player with good defense. You don't play him PG or C but you play him.
I would take this guy in my lineup, pay him 10 millions or whatever, and let him hit 5th.
HOF, maybe not.
But a player who leads his team in RBIs, runs, HRs, gets his fair share of doubles and triples, plays good defense, etc. deserve playing time for sure.
I really hope that's sarcasm, but it really appears like it's not.
In real life, this guy WOULDN'T get playing time. You're delusional if you think someone that can barely stay at the Mendoza Line while taking a walk once in a blue moon would actually get serious playing time in real life.
But, anyway, the whole point IS to score runs, and making an out 72% of the time is not the way to maximize runs scored. People call guys like Adam Dunn "all or nothing players", but it really is not true. THIS guy is a true example of an all or nothing player...and it's not a good player.
RBI's? Please. This is 2009, not 1960. RBI's tell you very little about a player's actual value. They're too context-dependent. Put a bunch of good hitters in front of this guy and yeah, of course he's going to rack up a ton of RBI's because every 10-15 at bats he'll run into a pitch and drive every runner in...but that's more than outweighed by the 70% of the time that he heads back to the bench. He's an absolute out machine.
The player is the result of a known bug.Quote:
