Dayn Perry: Jason Kendall is the worst catcher in baseball

[Mephistopheles]

Here we go again with the Im better then you smart ass cocky answers... I know what Eqa is you dumb ass. But you just keep sitting there and looking at your stats that know EVERYTHING. Its working for ya ;)

 

 

Quit with the personal attacks. You've called me a dumbass about five times. For all your bitching and moaning about be being mean not once have I gone out and personally attacked you.

 

A lot of people know what EqA is. Not many know what EqA means.

[Burtonbell]

 

Ok listen.. I don't want to sound like a smart-A$$ or anything..I could sit here and argue with him all I want... But its pointless.. Im not trying to drop it so I look bad or anything.. You can throw numbers at me all you want.. its not going to change the face that, what he said is stupid and wrong. I don't want to make a bad impression.. and alot of ppl would agree with me that he is a good right fielder. So Im sorry if I upset anyone.

 

What do you have that supports your arguments? That you have MLB EI and watch more games? That you played in college/high school?

 

Sometimes the numbers...are the facts.

And the fact that people agree with you means nothing. At one point in time it was a great idea to look at HR and RBI's as the sole offensive statistic and a lot of people thought it was the gospel truth. Thats been proven wrong.

 

 

Again... I don't want to fight with everyone...But I don't just look at triple crown numbers trust me.. .But honeslty.. sit down and think.. He is only 24... If I wanted to I could come on here and say Felix Pie is the worst CF in baseball...But no one could convince me that he is the 2nd worst RF in baseball.

 

Could someone convince you that, say Jake Peavy would be a better fit than Johan Santana? Or that Kahlil (sp?) Greene is better than Furcal? Or did you know that already? Not being mean or anything.

Why do I have to sit here and prove to you that I know what it is

Nope. He's usually right. Unless he's discussing college football and UF in particular.

 

Ok I will remember that....he is God.. because he posts on a Cub message board alot. Gotcha and also

 

LSU > UF

 

Of course, LSU is better than UF. Check out the sig.

 

And no, he's usually right because he has an outstanding understanding of the metrics that determine the value of a baseball player.

They are a very good indicator of how well a player will perform and how important to his team he is.

[TruffleShuffle]

i disagree with victorino. not to use the "seen him play" argument, but he's an excellent defender (10 assists and covers sa lot of ground) and great baserunner (37 of 41 in SBs, also reads the ball off the bat really well). He may not be all that good in terms of pure hitting, but with the other things that he does, i'd definitely put him above teahen, kearns, cuddyer and delmon young. and what about randy winn? he had a decent year last year, but most of the time he's a bum.

Does it determine the pitchers he is facing? The ball park he is in? There are SO many more factorts then that.

[Mephistopheles]

 

Fukudome translates to above a .300 EqA, so it's not completely out of the realm of possibility to meet the translations. Hideki Matsui met his. In fact every Japanese hitter that came over has hit their translations as far as EqA is concerned -- except Kazuo Matsui*.

 

*even Matsui technically has

 

Not that 1st year though, evev Matsui had to have been in the .270s that 1st year. He'll probably need a year to fully adjust to the states and the pitching.

 

The first year blip isn't that big of a deal. In fact the only guys who had that problem are the Matsuis. No one else did. BTW Matsui was in the .280s. He translated to the low .300s, which he's been at ever since. Matsui's biggest struggle was the two seam fastball. He got burned on it inside a bunch the first year. He was an EXTREME flyball hitter in Japan....who led the league in groundballs his first year here. The other players didnt experience the same problems (although that could be because they're RHs for the most part and most sinker guys are righties). Ichiro is more of a line drive GB guy so it won't affect him. Fukudomes a line drive hitter, so it probably won't be that big of a deal. They dont see the two seam in japan, and luckily the two seam isnt an integral part of a righty's arsenal in our division. (at least not from anyone i can think of off the top of my head, 'cept Bush has a decent one).

I'm wrong, you're wrong we're all wrong at some point and time.

I talk down to everyone. Just get used to it. I don't make exceptions. Luckily, it's not against the rules. Now answer the question, what is EqA. How is it found? What does it measure? Answer these three correctly and Ill be nice to you.

[UK1679666180]

I can't see it from Fukudome. I'm expecting .285/.355/.455 or something similar. To get into .300s, you either have to have plus power or Abreu bbs, he won'thave either.
