Jake Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 QUOTE (fathom @ May 13, 2013 -> 08:25 PM) Haha, are you even watching this game? The other team didn't gain anything on Rios's bad throw. Who cares? No stat should ever reflect that he made a bad-ish throw that harmed nobody and helped nobody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stats will show one error that inning when really there were 4 terrible decisions made by a team that couldn't be playing dumber this season. I know your article today tried to say the defense isn't as bad as the error totals make it seem, but the bottom of the 3rd is a reason why it might possibly be even worse.

I also said that preventable poor defensive play is pretty the main constituent of issue, so we're basically on the same page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This team over the past several years has been one that doesn't commit errors. Players like Alexei don't have a track record of negative ErrR as part of their UZR. Something has changed/this is one hell of a statistical anomaly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, if you were an opposing GM, and had watched his K's, low OBP and horrendous defense all season long....what would you give up for him?

I should say most of his WAR value comes from his baserunning and defense, but he's far from the biggest problem here. 28 year old CF who can bat his weight, I'm looking elsewhere for a target of my angst Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 So much for the payoff for trading Quentin, haha. Hernandez might beat us, pitched terribly for the Sox when he was on our side and Simon Castro MIGHT be recalled as a relief pitcher in August/September.
