The Value of Joe Crede

[apete6]

Update: "Mr Clutch" grounded back to the pitcher to end last nights game with the winning runs on base.

 

But, but, but he hit a grand slam on Sunday with his team up 7-0. You can't get more clutch than that.

It seems like a beautiful baseball poem could be written of the value of Joe Crede.

Chet Coppock, on ESPN Radio's Talking Baseball, said that Joe Crede should be AL Player of the Month. .268/.322/.537. Yep, overvalued juuuuuust a tad.

well just look at his stats in these situations

 

close and late: 5/10 3HR 8RBI 2BB .500/.583/1.500

tie game: 7/16 2HR 9RBI 1BB .438/.444/.875

 

granted, its a small sample size for both, but its not going to be that big of a sample size for anybody because its less than a month into the season.

Is he really slugging 1.500 in those situations or are you quoting OPS there like a silly person

[laryan]

hes really slugging 1.500. just look at it. 3HR's in 10 at bats, thats 12 bases in 10 at bats which would be a slg of over 1.000 with just those three hits. he has another double and a single giving him 15 bases in 10 at bats

 

 

edit: he's OPSing over 2.000 in those situations.

Thanks. Math is not my thing and neither is not being lazy. There has been an epidemic of quotes of: AVG/OBP/OPS and it's driving me slightly crazy.

Oh, and welcome to the board.

thanks!

 

for the record, I think joe crede is a great ball player who is overrated by sox fans and underrated by cubs fans. he is one of the best defensive third basemen in the game, and we saw in '06 what he can do when healthy (30HR 90RBI, and was on pace for 40/100 through a good portion of the season)

In 2006 his OPS was .829. Pretty good, yeah, but not "great." And he's never shown any indication that he can regularly achieve that kind of performance anyway. He's always been a pretty terrible hitter.
