No drama, nor is someone stating opinion as "facts"...

If that was drama, you are the most sensitive person ever. He never once personally attacked you... he told you Bonafacio sucks and simply backed it up with factual statistics... I'm still trying to find the drama.

I'd hardly call using statistics out of context (which I put in context in my reply) factual. Nor would I call it a fact to state ones opinion as such. I could go on but it's not worth anymore of my time.

How did you put the stats he referred to in context? You didn't even mention the stats he used. You just spouted off a bunch of defensive stats. Even if he was a good defensive player, we already have one of those to back up the infield in Janish... who is worlds better defensively. He mentioned several hard offensive stats that cannot be refuted and hardly mentioned them out of context. Its not like he skewed the data here... I just think you didn't realize how much of terrible offensive player he is. Defensively, I'd say he's average to below average even based on the statistics you supplied.

I broke down the defensive stats that he used without any context. So to state that I didn't even use the stats he did is nonsense. He said that Bonifacio had a career -15 DRS. I replied giving the context: "...this is at six different positions (and that he's actually has a 6 DRS this year at second and 1 DRS at third for his career). Plus while in the negative for his career much of that is at two of six different positions. It's also not as bad as you say, Uggla is -15 DRS just for this year alone at one position!"

As far as his offensive stats go, I didn't see a reason to cover that again.

Yah not too much to cover other than he's an abysmal offensive player.

If so, what does that make someone like Janish with the bat? A special type of terrible? Don't answer that. :happy0157:

Seriously, no one wanted him to start as I've stated repeatedly. We just liked him as bench option over Janish.

Janish is a defensive back-up. He can't hit a lick. Bonifacio would not be a defensive backup.
Pastornicky could easily put up the offensive numbers Bonifacio has.
That's everyone's point. Bonifacio isn't better than Janish on defense, and isn't better than Pastornicky offensively. So what's the point.

If you missed the point(s) go back to read my posts. I don't see the need to copy and paste again when this has been answered already.
 
Mark Bradley had a blog posted today, wondering if Michael Young, who's cleared waivers, would be a fit on the Braves, as a bench bat/plan B in case Uggla doesn't come back.

I know he's not very good defensively, but I don't it's a terrible idea. Gives some more veteran leadership if nothing else.

Young isn't a 2B?

Yeah and we're more than capable. Don't forget how hot and cold Atlanta is. Would it surprise anyone to see them go on a crazy bad stretch? Something like 1-10 or 2-14 to get us right back in the race? It's pretty clear the Nationals are the best team in this division. I don't care about their record.

Because surely there aren't any remaining Nats fans, based on the evidence of this season, that are still that delusional.
