[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] .230/.289/.406 .234/.284/.394 Which one is Richar, which one is Uribe? [/ QUOTE ] You realize one is an established 28 year old major leaguer with a track record of poor performances, and the other is 24 years with a good minor league record. And that one costs less than the other, and one has more potential/upside, etc...oh, and one has history of pistol whipping people and threatening to kill them. I'm still surprised the White Sox did not go after Eckstein. Maybe they learned their lesson after the Erstad signing. [/ QUOTE ] Were you saying this to me? [/ QUOTE ] I thought you were saying there was no difference between the two players. Have I fallen victim to a level here?

[/ QUOTE ] I thought you were saying there was no difference between the two players. Have I fallen victim to a level here? [/ QUOTE ] Vyse said Uribe was a solid player, clearly better than Richar. I provided those stats to show that there was virtually no difference (excusing Richar's poor sample size) between the two at the plate in Richar's age-24, rookie year and Uribe's age 27, 7th year. I agree with everything you've said in this thread regarding the two. Edit: I will say that you shouldn't just say, "His BABIP was low, it'll go regress towards the mean." I think it's important to look at things like line drive rates. It's hard to be unlucky when you hit weak ground balls and pop flies.
