New Rumor


Southside hitmen

I could --

 

As far as his defense goes -- The best measurement I know for defense is UZR, which unfortuantely anavailable for 2004 because it's "owned" by one major league team -- I do have his 2000-2003 numbers, when he saved about 17 runs per 162 games(good for sixth best in baseball among SS)

 

On offense he's a .271/.334/.399shortstop -- while the average SS has been about .26something/.320/.395 over the same time span

 

I would say that a player who's above average offensively and defensively at their position is a "good" player.

Well, it's hard for me to discuss a statistical measure that I know nothing about; however, he's a 25 error per year guy; so if he saves 17 runs a year, which I assume is net, then he grosses a lot more. I find that hard to believe after watching him play.

Why did Houston give this guy up for a guy they KNEW couldn't hit named Adam Everett (Everett couldn't hit a lick in the minors and can't in the majors either)? In 2002 he played only 88 games; because they were aware of his deficiencies

I told you. Houston cut him immediately after reports of him beating his wife broke out. They didn't want to keep him on the team due to that.
