    tell juan pierre that Juan Pierre sucks because he can't hit. The lack of a throwing arm is just icing on the big fat rotten cake that is his offensive game. but if he had an arm, he might have some value-which is what i was trying to get to

    When I said five tool, I wasn't giving weight to one tool or another. When someone is called a five tool prospect, that just means they possess above average talent in every physical skill, which is rare for a baseball player. It doesn't mean they'll be a good baseball player, it just means they're superior physically and can do more things on the field. Of course, they still have to be able to hit to be valuable I'm not really referring to or arguing against anything you said. Just ranting about how stupid the "five-tool player" notion is. I dont think its stupid, but I do think promoting players on that notion is stupid

    My interpretation of your posts is a completely valid opinion and you have no basis to discard it. this is true, and the same goes for everyone here. but you can always ask for a clarification without completely discarding it.

    this whole thread begs the question, why cant we have a legitimate discussion on baseball without it becoming "I'm right, you're wrong!!"? are we really that immature around here?

    I imagine most of them will set it straight once Fukudome is introduced this week. Has anyone heard what day his press conference is yet? is Mr Miles around?? he may shed some light
  20. minnesotacubsfan

  22. minnesotacubsfan
    Kosuke it is! anyone think it may be possible he cahnges it next season after he sees all the Fukudome jerseys and shirts that are llikely to be sold in the stads? or is there a MLB rule prohibiting players from doing that?

    yea, I think the vast majority of NSBB (as in posters) are quite abit more complex. But I do think there is a very interesting and lively converstation on stats-based analysis vs perceived or observed analysis. I dont have an answer for every situation, as I think there are very unique instances. I do think experience can qualify a person, although verifing that experience on a message board may be hard to do. I do think the whole converation worth discussing. I just think we need find a way to have that conversation in a level-headed kind of way. I dont think that happens alot of the time. Maybe a suggestion for the board in general, a sticky thread or sub-forum for that? I would love to participate.

    winner.
  25. minnesotacubsfan
    This is a legitimate opinion and should not be discarded simply because stats don't support it. awesome. glad we settled it.
