He gives defense a cursory nod but then goes on to dwell on offense, ignoring Gardy's excellent OBP in the process. He's comparing apples and oranges. No lineup has sluggers in every slot. You need guys to get on base ahead of the sluggers to there's someone there to drive in. That's the role of guys like Gardy in the division of labor. To compare him to guys like Bautista is to miss the point on several fronts. Think Vada Pinson or Mickey Rivers--every team needs a couple of guys like that to complement Frank Robinson or Reggie Jackson. The anti-Gardy crusade is awash in sophistry and bad faith and plain old missing the point.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932285159851204335.post-65614903982121754802016-10-13T12:32:53.485-04:002016-10-13T12:32:53.485-04:00Whether it's Against or Above Replacement, it&...Whether it's Against or Above Replacement, it's a small-ball stat, especially for a guy like Gardner. As Anon. notes, his defense is superlative, but his offense was weak this year, poorest numbers since 2011 in OPS and his Total Bases were down about 15 percent from what he had been averaging for three years. Just another anemic bat in an anemic lineup. Sell-by date expired.<br /><br />If the Yankees are going to compete, they can't have a lineup loaded with guys like Gardner. Compare his batting average, slugging, on-base or any other number you care to look at with the numbers at the top of the Boston or Toronto lineups. The differences are stark.Parson Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09312179928176617912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932285159851204335.post-41694128669282854302016-10-13T01:41:06.672-04:002016-10-13T01:41:06.672-04:00That's WINS ABOVE REPLACEMENT, duque--where...That's WINS ABOVE REPLACEMENT, duque--where's your copy editor when you need him/her? And Gardy's no surprise--I noted that he had the team's highest WAR a couple of months ago when you and others in the group were dissing him at least twice a day--because you focus on useless antiquated stats (yes, stats, but crappy old stats) like batting average while ignoring Gardy's strengths as reflected in his OBP, his speed on the bases (advancing even if not frequently stealing) and superlative defense--range, steadiness, very good arm--one of the best left fielders in the majors.<br /><br />So there. Told ya' so. Don't take pride in being such a philistine fogie on such matters. People with tens of millions invested in players' salaries don't dwell on batting averages any more. Think about the reasons for that sea change.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932285159851204335.post-49341687346074726042016-10-12T23:59:10.047-04:002016-10-12T23:59:10.047-04:00ASTUTE JUDGE OF TALENT......THE RESULT?......STEPH...ASTUTE JUDGE OF TALENT......THE RESULT?......STEPHEN DREW, CHASE HEADLEY, AND AARON HICKS.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932285159851204335.post-11127473286360081612016-10-12T12:08:25.821-04:002016-10-12T12:08:25.821-04:00I think you missed a few vulnerabilities;
