    Oh, like I said. Carry on there, Dex. except you used rbi's and batting average to show that he hasn't hit, and those don't show that he hasn't hit it would have been perfectly acceptable if you had just used his slugging percentage Actually BA is the best way to tell if someone has gotten hits. Now if you want to know whether he has gotten extra base hits or overall been a productive offensively player you would want to use other statistics. batter A hits .300, but every hit is a single batter B hits .250, but every hit is a home run who is a better hitter?

    You must not pay attention to the farm system. This year it has taken a big step forward. i'm aware. i'm just saying that it's still not very good. So what? It's gone from a bottom of the barrell system to a pretty average system in a years time. This year's picks have looked promising as well. If they can improve next year then we all of a sudden have solid to above average farm system. Either way, the lone bright spot for this season is the play in the minors. Please don't suck the life out of that like you do with everything else on this board. jesus. all i said is that our farm system has gotten better, but it's not "beefed up". that's all i'm saying. it's gone from crappy to maybe average. is that not true? stop looking for stuff to pick apart.

    nobody said average means nothing. it means something because it brings other numbers up. also nobody said anything close to what you said about ops btw, that hitter would still have an .800 ops

    I'm having a tough time determining if you're really an annoyingly repetitive, flame-baiting junk poster, or just being facetious. Can you help clarify? both

    Oh, like I said. Carry on there, Dex. except you used rbi's and batting average to show that he hasn't hit I didn't feel the need to post all of his sorry ass stats. the rest of his stats? you mean the stats that actually mean something and show that he hasnt been very good? we do know, and everybody is agreeing that he has been a disappointment. i don't see how you're not getting this

    is that where you take a dump in your pants while running the bases
  14. 17 Seconds
    because he hasn't hit you can hit for poor average and still be a productive hitter. you can have low rbi totals and still be a productive hitter. end yourself

    what is ops i dont remember the exact equation, you'll have to ask meph but it's something like 2x(RBI+GW RBI)/race(-1 for black)+(meaningless home runs)x(hustle/pant legs(up or down)) man i just though of a perfect acronym for ops re: bradley but it's way to racist too post

    NOBODY IS SAYING ANYTHING CLOSE TO THAT we're just making fun of you and your horrible usage of statistics
  18. 17 Seconds
    do you really not realize that the people who make fun of you aren't milton bradley apologists, but rather are making fun of you for your usage of a meaningless statistic like rbi's? yes, bradley has been a big dissapointment, but there are numbers out there that actually show that. rbis do not. Oh, I see kinda you missed the batting avg and HR part of the equation. Not to mention his sad attitude. But yea, carry on. once again you miss the point. i'm not saying bradley has been good.

    "even more"?

    Yeah but Jones was also a much more frustrating player, with his constant throws into the dirt, soriano-esque at-bats, and baserunning blunders. He seemed like a likeable guy, but not a likeable players. Burnitz kind of just sucked and was there. plus, most of his boos came in 2007, when he was really crappy and well below expectations.

    Did Jeromy Burnitz ever get booed in 2005? everybody knew burnitz would suck when we signed him heilman gets booed. miles gets booed. howry got booed. marquis got booed. Fair enough. Not saying I agreed with Bradley, just pointing out an example of a RF in the very recent past that was bad but seemed like he got a free pass from the Wrigley faithful. offensive players usually only get booed at wrigley when they perform below expectations. if bradley was just a stop gap type guy who signed a small contract, he probably wouldn't be getting booed right now. they would have expected this production. that wasn't the case though. people expected big things from bradley, and have been disappointed. that's when the booing occurs.
