Avisail Garcia out for the year

Somewhere, Prince Fielder is smiling.


The trade for Iggy looks even better now, even though he is hurt. Injured is one thing, injured and bangs a teammates wife, fuck that guy.
 
Thats karma for you. Fuck a teammates wife and becone a white sock, and the universe will get you back. Fuck him.
 
Lot of injuries around the league just 1 week into the season. Avi was off to a decent start for the suxs to, suxs for them. good for us I suppose. Princess not exactly tearing it up for Texas and his D for them is just as stellar as always.
 
Where as we have a nice steady defensive 2b in Kinsler who is hitting AND stealing bases. Liking the first impressions of the trade, and if we can somehow make playoffs with this batting practice bull pen, Kinsler should hit way better than Prince ever did in the playoffs.

This is an opinion based on maybe 6 games?

Because the previous 486 proves otherwise.

Based on an opnion that Fielders lifetime postseason batting average in 8 series is a whopping .194 where as Kinsler on the other hand, in 7 series has hit above .300..... Fielder only hit 1 more home run and 9 less rbi and add in 6 sb for Kinsler.... More like a fact based on the 39 postseason games Fielder has played in and hit under .200...... Sure Fielder has the better "numbers" offensively in the regular, if you like a pylon and a liability on the base pass and defense, but in the postseason there isn't even a question that Kinsler has been better. But hey, I am the dummy basing my opinion on "6" games.....

First you have to get to the playoffs. 2nd, it is all about sample size. By your argument, we should have jettisoned Lout Whitaker and his lousy playoff stats.
 
so far it looks like Boston got the best of that deal. The Tigers have a broken down SS, the White Sox have a broken down OF and the Red Sox have a starting pitcher and a WS championship. One more reason to hate Boston!

But as far as what we got and what we traded I'll take our end of it.

For Boston, not sure Peevy was beneficial to them winning a title..Though I'm not sure who was in their rotation before Peevy arrived..

You mention sample size, yet compare a player with 39 postseason games(which 164 PA's is a pretty big sample size) vs a guy that only played in 13?

Also, Whitaker's postseason numbers really weren't that bad if you actually look at them. OBP of .350 helped him score 13 runs in 13 games.

I could post the grass is green and you would make a retort. Got it. You dislike me and want to be disagreeable. But enough is enough.

I made my point. Judging a player on minimal sample size, whether it is Spring Training or Playoff stats is stupid. And yet, you further prove the point, yet trying to counter my argument.

Proved your point??? You said Whitaker's stats were "lousy". I pointed out they weren't. Put a guy that averages a run a game in my lineup all day long!!

So it's ok for you to constantly try to "correct" people, but anytime somebody calls your posts into question it's wrong?

You are far too sensitive for message boards
 
Even when the "numbers" guy is presented with LEGIT numbers that prove him wrong he just can't admit it.... I could give a shit about "sample" size because even if it is a limited sample size Prince has proven he is a liability at the plate in the playoffs. Stats have shown that throughout his career. Then you compare him to a guy with not even half the PA's as him. C'mon bro we all liked Prince but get off the dudes dick.
