Joe is terrible, which is why he's been demoted. He may have seemed good with Boog because Boog is really, really good. But Joe is bad.
"Acuna is getting lucky, just like CJ did when he batted .321 and won a batting title. He is unlikely to get lucky at the MLB level over an extended period of time. He will settle in around .300-.320 just like everyone else, and when he does, he won't be within shouting distance of the 1.000 OPS he is posting in AAA...more like low .700s in 2018." -Enscheff 8/25/17

Joe is a piece of crap
This community is nothing like it was going back to the FanHome, BravesBeat, and early Scout days...
Maybe you can team up with clv, crazy, garmel and anyone who wants to revel in the glorious past of 1990s ignorance and start a new board?
If you get your hero Joe to join as well you guys can sit there whooping it up about the good old days when being dumb was something to be proud of, and curse the intelligent folks making you look like obsolete old fools.
I bet you'll have a ton of members.
How do you feel when the Moneyball theory succeeds though? Because more often than not, it does.
Advanced analytics doesn't guarantee success. It shows trends. There is still a human element to the game so of course, there will be times when it "fails". But, teams that utilize this extra information will be more successful than those who do not. The data tells us that. I'm not sure why it is taking you so long to come on board.
