No, I wanted to know what their OBP was...RBIs and RISP have long been targets of my criticism. br |

When debating people who refuse to believe in sabermetrics, sometimes you have to play in their ball field. The fact that relativelynew can't even accept that wins are related to players around a pitcher means that he's not going to listen to real numerical analysis. My point was that regardless of measure, LaRoche is more worthy than LaHair. And dreach is right, Craig is better than either....only issue is that he's only played in about half the games. Interesting to note that despite playing in 28 games less than LaHair, he has only 15 less total bases. |

i neverf said wins were a good measure for pitchers, just as RBIs are not for a hitter. i just found it interesting he wanted to look at RBIs and saying laroche is more worthy than lehair is certainly your OPINION. |

Opinion backed by statistical analysis. If this was factual, there would be no need to debate. Secondly, bri never brought up RBIs as being a good measure. Edited by brumdog44, Jul 5 2012, 06:12 PM.

BTW, at this point I don't think anyone could argue LaHair over Goldschmidt. |

Does the All Star team really matter? Seems like its pretty pointless and you could make an argument for probably 4-5 player per position. |

“He’s always been a guy — maybe to a fault — he would always try to do what I said. That seems like something simple in coaching, but those are the guys I hang my hat on. We’ve had some guys in our program, we had a couple guys that felt I had a bias towards E’Twaun Moore. And they were right — I do have a bias towards E’Twaun Moore. I like guys that go to class, that are academic All-Americans, that come early, that stay late, that love the game of basketball. I am biased towards those guys. And I’m biased towards Rob Hummel. But I’m also biased towards their habits, their work ethic, and how they carry themselves." "I’d take him to the ends of the earth — I’d want him playing for me.” - Bo Ryan on Robbie Hummel

All Star idea Young vs. old. You could do a team of player under 30 vs. a team 30 an over. I think it'd be fun to see this in any sport. NHL would probably be the only ones to ever consider it though. |

1st & 2nd year players (allstars) vs. veteran allstars Up and coming stars will be seen and get to play against the leagues best players (presumably....the fans do have a say).......I think it could be very entertaining and would let some of the young players get more exposure for the future benefit of the league. Everybody wins. |

Bud Selig vs Albert Belle in a boxing match at the pitcher's mound. I haven't watched the All-Star game in years, it's become pointless IMO. The inception of "whichever team wins the AS Game has home field advantage at the World Series" is/was an attempt to make it legit. Fail. Edited by Jazen, Jul 9 2012, 10:34 AM.

And I won't even go into the new two wildcard teams this year. Hopefully Belle still has some pack with his punch. :D |
