Aroldis Chapman signs 30MM contract with NLC club

[Jeffy25]

Yeah remember how everyone was totally healthy!

We had great lineups like this:

http://www.baseball-reference.com/bo...00908170.shtml


1. Cory Sullivan CF
2. Luis Castillo 2B
3. Gary Sheffield LF
4. Daniel Murphy 1B
5. Jeff Francoeur RF
6. Fernando Tatis 3B
7. Brian Schneider C
8. Anderson Hernandez SS
9. Livan Hernandez P

if you could go back 3-4 years, Castillo, Sheff, Tatis and Hernandez would all be solid players

Murphy and Francoeur are the two worst players of those four .lol

Uh.

Apparently you never have watched Angel Pagan play.

Hint: he sucks

I'm sorry we can't all be the Mariners.

They're a pretty awesome supporting cast regardless of what you or your stats say.

Grit. Determination. Hardwork. Grit. Toughness. Grit. Size of glove. Grit. Number of swings a player takes in a warm up. Grit. Shoe size. Grit. Toughness. Number of haircuts a player gets during a single season. Grit. Determination.

That's what makes a great ballplayer

He makes stupid mistakes all the time and doesn't have a knowledge of baseball fundamentals. His stats don't tell the full story here. You need to see him play to pass judgment.

You need to weigh stats with intangibles and scouting. Intangibles exist, I'm sorry you sabermetricians don't believe that.

I know they exist. But they don't make Jeff Francouer good all of the sudden.

Rocket arm, great defense (OMG, everyone else will say, HIS UZR IS SO LOW HOW CAN HE BE A GOOD DEFENDER), very good hitting for contact and for power, and intangibles

I had no idea a .271 career average hitter with 88 HR in six seasons was very good hitting. I am shocked.

Actually, his UZR paints the picture he's a good defender, but you know..

[YEAH DAAAAWG]

Not only that but a .432 slugging percent from a corner outfielder. Where's his plaque in Cooperstown!?

So we're in agreement. Sabermetricians can no longer say Frenchy is a bad defender.

It's about the timeliness of his hits
