CarGo to Sox?

[Wanne]

agree with DA...just don't see the point in this at all. Let's just see what this team has...

[FT35]

I don't know if I necessarily agree with this. Morrison has a career ops of .741 and OPS+ of 104 prior to last year thats 7 years of prior data. Prior to last year Cargo has a career ops of .868 and OPS+ of 119.

 

Do you make the bet that Morrison figured it out or do you go with the previous 7 years data. Is Cargo washed up at 32 or do you bet 9 years of overall solid hitting prior to last year.

 

It's an interesting discussion point.

 

One thing supporting the idea of Morrison possibly figuring it out was that he had 81 walks last year. That's a MAJOR difference from his norms...kind of jumps off the page a little.

He really did look like a different hitter last year, and his numbers reflect it as well. Those advocating for CarGo must be thinking of pre-2014 CarGo because he has been a shell of his former self over the past 3 years. His numbers away from Coors are pedestrian and he's always an injury risk even if he's managed to stay fairly healthy the last 3 years.
