¿Qué decisión tomar con respecto a Peráza?

OPS is a stat thatt no respectable stat fan uses anymore.

OBP is flawed because it treats a homer the same as a walk. How can you say it's better than OPS? OPS is flawed but at least it paints an OK picture. I'd rather have a guy who goes 1/3 with a homer every hit than a guy who goes 0-0 with 3 walks. OPS says the 1/3 guys is a superior player as do most other metrics. OBP says he's 1/3 of the player.

I think there is a place in the lineup for both types of hitters but I'd rather have more of the latter.

I look at wOBA or wRC+ if comparing guys from different teams. wOBA doersn't treat walks=singles or double value hits as OPS and OBP do. It assigns a balue based on massive amounts of data to any event (including reaching on an error, a stat that values speed guys) to give you a significantly better picture than looking at OBP and OPS.

Yeah, it's no problem. I like Jace, Mallex, Simba, and Maybin in those jobs. I can certainly see the argument that Peterson hasn't done it long enough and that Peraza might be the superior player at some point. But I'm a big OBP guy and I think I know how that's going to turn out.

Go Braves. Let's find some reliable bullpen arms so our starters can step back from the ledge. Or put down their Glocks.

We also have to be be reasonable about "the current state of affairs." This team was not built to contend during 2015. So removing future, not to mention potentially valuable assets, for a middle relievers and setup men, is short-sighted in the extreme. Useful cost-effective relievers can be obtained without mortgaging the future. Plenty of examples from the last several years.

* Also, let me use this as a soapbox. For those of you, who are much younger than 30 years old, you don't know what it's like to be in a Braves rebuild situation. They haven't been in this mode since 1990. That was a quarter century ago.

Why are you such a prick, Zito? You can make a point without being an asshole about it. Half the pushback you get isn't your argument, it's that you're a dick.
