That's his batting average, a not very advanced stat. You shouldn't insult posters by saying peanut brain, especially when I am like el rockin and never criticize posters intellect, etc. I guess you got me with those stats. Although .265 and .273 the last two years I'd argue is pretty close to the .293, .290. Just a handful of hits here and there. I happen to think he's a productive player especially considering the crap team he's on. Some of you don't think athletes have emotions. I'd think it'd be difficult to produce when you generally have no protection in the lineup (I love Eloy) and have such a losing mentality. I think he's productive no matter what, but especially for a team in its tank years. But at the risk of greg-haters saying I don't read posts I will acknowledge your point and say you have a point here as expressed by the traditional stats you listed.

Only a small minded individual feels threatened by advanced metrics and change.

I'm assuming he's been letting some grounders to his left escape down the line and being buffoon-ish on some pop ups. He's usually OK to his right and fair on digs.

Jose made the all star team again but that matters not to most advanced stat lovers. He's an average 1b, greg. It has nothing to do with any lovers or haters.

ron883 Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Jose is mad that he isn't getting overpaid so he is lashing out. GTFO of here Jose. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, money wise he does not really have a complaint with the bonus he was paid. But Madrigal will not get superstar money, so let's bring him up now and get him acclimated to the Major Leagues. His glove will play now, he would be something to watch the rest of the year, and Yolmer can watch over the Gatorade jug just in case we win another game.

Maybe he is tired of Rick Hahn using a bunch of big words to say nothing at all at every press conference. Maybe he is tired of the tanking. I would be with him. I know I'm tired of all that crap. Keep talking, Jose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It kind of slays me the usual negative reax when players speak out. Not saying it's happened here except one poster, but for some reason fans tend to blast guys who rip the front office. Remember when George Bell complained DURING THE PLAYOFFS about playing time? That was an all time joke.

Harold's Leg Lift Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 This is year 1,000 of the rebuild and they had 1 player in the lineup who is guaranteed to be around when/if this team is good. Even the players know this is pathetic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are 5 total players on the current roster that should be on the team in two years (Yoan, Bummer, Giolito, Lopez, Cease) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
