I know a guy who claimed (before the season began) that Jacoby Ellsbury was a better player than Grady Sizemore.

This man was NOT ignorant about baseball or sabermetrics, either. He was/is extremely well-versed in advance metrics and is fully capable of deploying them in support of/response to arguments. And he still argued this point well into May. He’s shut up a lot since then.

If he was well-versed in advanced metrics

then he would never think Ellsbury is better than Sizemore.

by Matthew on Aug 9, 2008 6:39 PM PDT up reply actions  

I don't get it either.

Initially I thought he was just winding me up. But I ultimately concluded that he was just SUCH a hugely bigoted Red Sox homer fan that it allowed him to make all sorts of ridiculous leaps.

Which then led me to the conclusion that it’s pretty useless to bother acquiring this sort of knowledge if you’re willing to let it be overrun by your fanaticism for any particular team.

I thought Vidro was funny

I don’t think Jose Vidro the man ever said anything annoying. He just went out there in his fat suit and frosted hair and played like crap until someone finally noticed.

Vidro was personally inoffensive, always a nice guy.

I think he makes the shortlist of the most perennially underrated players in MLB.

He’s no superstar or anything, but he keeps on pumping out solid production year-in, year-out with absolutely no profile outside of Seattle.

And he’s given us so many wonderful moments on defense.

"Maybe Chief has to go and grab somebody from his neck and throw him into the wall."

by esoteric on Aug 9, 2008 7:38 PM PDT up reply actions  

Technically true.

But given that he’s barely rated at all outside of the Pacific Northwest, it’s hard to consider him that overrated.

It’s a positive tragedy that they keep running him out to LF. He adds real value with the bat but takes real value away with the glove. I suppose he’s complicit in that himself, however.
