    I give up following this. Yesterday he was 0.7. I assume it was a defensive update. How often is defense updated bc he didn't cost us 0.3 this week?

    ETA -- when calculating WAR, if it comes out to 0.75 is that 0.8 or 0.7?

    I think it's like every 2 weeks but I'm not really sure how often defense updates. DRS, which is what baseball-ref uses, does update more often than UZR though. With that said he did go 0-5 yesterday which likely took him down 0.1. And it looks like base running data got updated too which Kemp does himself no favors in.

    And I'm pretty sure it would round up but baseball-ref seems to only use whole numbers in their calculations.

    edit: Kemp is only -6 runs on defense right now. He was -5 before the update. So it's more than just that.

    It went up from 0.5 wed to 0.7 yesterday. Now down to 0.4. This constant fluctuation is crazy. I'm gonna start checking every 2 weeks haha

    That is what you are hoping. Sad you want a Braves player to play bad, especially one at his salary.

    Kemp has a 122 WRC+ since May 1st. 0.4 bWAR on the season now. He's going to need to pick it up.

    Gonna have to start hitting HRs again. I think he's due a stretch of power

    You know what I don't even have to say?

    I told you so.

    So I'm not going to say it.

    Kemp down to a 129 WRC+ 5.9% BB, 220 ISO, 368 BABIP. The normalization continues.

    All the pozzy-Barves that were gloating at me in this thread for 15 pages would prefer if you just let it die along with all their other failed predictions.

    I have already explained this. Until FF is back in the lineup for KEMvP to protect, he will not produce. He is like a parent who lost his child in the mall.. just wondering around aimlessly without getting anything done. And now that KEMvP and FF are close to each other on the field, his dWAR will start to climb as well.

    It is a scary thought how many grounders to 3B will turn into doubles with Freeman and Kemp over there.

    He can't quit derping long enough to understand the principles of protection.

    126 WRC+ on the season so far. Coming right into line with expectations. Funny how that works.
