This thread tho...

His batting average blows, but he takes the most walks on the team, has the 2nd best power numbers (after McCann, tied with JUpton), and doesn't play an offense-premium position. I understand he's overpaid, but as a player he's been a little below average as a 2nd baseman.

Agreed, 100%. He's havign a great year, and he's an above-average hitter. With Simmons playing next to him, defense is a little less important for him. Good to have him on the team.

I was gonna make this post today, then saw that it was already made. The Braves have no one in the top 40 in the majors in WAR... but then have 4 guys in 5 spots just outside. BJ and Andrelton are the only guys on the team with significantly below-average batting lines, and most everyone is in...

Listen, the stats say dude's an above-average hitter for his career, but he can't play a lick of defense. If you wanna say his defense is better than awful, then maybe I'll entertain that idea. It's got merit, since defensive stats aren't infallible. There is nothing in his stats however that...

I like Bryce. I could see him having a Chipper Jones-with-Mets-Fans relationship with Atlanta fans in the coming years. Except, you know, we've owned him thus far.

Seriously, that play should not be possible. Simmons is playing with sliders way down.

WAR uses the average value of a replacement player, not specific ones. So there's a level of play assigned to what we think a "freely available replacement player" (about equivalent to a top-of-the-line AAA player) would produce.

So more evidence against his black-ness. (I'm sorry, I had to)

****, ya'll have a great ****ing memory. I APOLOGIZE FOR NOTHING.

I like D, but voted for the option that let me call me you names. Just for your future accounting.

"Johnson" means "Lemur" in British.

Key takeaway: It's ok to be a decent, average-ish player. That's got value. People don't have to either suck or be amazing.

Now who would make a thread about that?

I'd be interested in getting your thoughts on the book, if you've read it.

:banana: That is how this post makes me feel.

If you could pee on any dude's leg in the shower, who would you pee on?

Wait, wait, so if it's a hot brunette who is nice, no tip?

Imagine, however, how much more you would have died if you COULD and that's all you did all day. ... wait, what are you doing right now??

Yes, thank god someone was there to expose a congressman's dick pics. Truly an inspiration to journalists everywhere.
