And then be hurt and not play when it counts, so what's it matter?
Also CarGo is more injury prone than Heyward. Again, appendectomy and ball to face do not = injury prone.

This has been discussed ad nauseam. Were those not injuries? Did he not miss games because of them? I assume you know what injury prone means.

From 2010-2013 there were a total of 648 games. Jason played in 532 which is 82% of games. So essentially he plays 4/5 games. He misses almost 30 games a season on average. He has had one healthy season.

LOL @ Alex Gordon.
Harper is not better.
Holiday is old and a much, MUCH worse defender.
The Royals would nut if we offered JUp for Gordon.

nobody is a MUCH worse defender than Upton (well maybe Gattis and Doumit) day in day out Justin fails to make plays in LF. Did you see the piece of crap throw he made yesterday?

LOL he drove in 88. Go ahead and use your arbitrary numbers, especially RBI. They mean A LOT.

The name of the game is to score more runs than your opponent. Not sure how someone can discount the importance of driving in runs.

Have you watched Matt Holiday player LF at all the last 3 years?
 
I told my friend in work Julio would finish top 5 in Cy Young. Being a Phillies fan he laughed, but...

I'm actually assuming you don't. At least not in the logical way it's used.
Getting hit in the face with a ball does not make a player injury prone. That is monumentally stupid.
 
Injury prone is getting injuries doing normal baseball activities like running throwing. Swinging etc. Having stomach surgery and getting hit in the face are not normal baseball activities
 
To me, "injury prone" means essentially "fragile" e.g. lots of nagging injuries, sprains, etc. Taking a MLB fastball to the jaw falls more under the category of flukish than fragile. I can't think of too many people's jaws that are designed to withstand that particular impact.

So 2010 and 2011 don't mean anything then.
