Default Re: Predict ARod\'s season HR & RBI Totals

Boris,

Actually I have never said what kind of "baseball thinker" I am. I can't stand Joe Morgan but I also have been in spring training and seen what the organizations think are important. Your argument about Top ten in OPS means little to me, catchers in the big leagues are marginal at best hitters plus he is a guy that draws a lot of walks plus hits a lot of doubles. Meh. They paid 7 million b/c he is one of the best catchers in the league are you really thinking it was b/c of his OPS? lol. If so, Piazza would be catching and they would just get rid of his 7 million b/c of course its only offense baby!!

I get so tired of one way thinkers, actually not tired--bored is the right word. People that read a book and think they have a clue and just regurgitate crap from chapter so and so or whatever post you think you have read before. FWIW, I am not saying I am right about everything but I am probably middle of the road when it comes to sabermetrics and the "Joe Morgan" school of thought, whatever that actually means--he is more of just an idiot that spouts of nonsense and gives good baseball minds a bad name is all he is. Most normal people understand that baseball is a numbers game but it also has other aspects to it as well and Joe Morgan doesn't get that.
