Suggest completely unrealistic trade? Check.
Cite useless stats like saves and batting average? Check.
I'm sure we can add a few more to this, if we just keep going.

Does Detroit need a closer? Nope. And Fielder is in his prime. Tex....the Yanks would love to dump his ass. One year is an anomaly. 2 and 1/4 years is a telling sign. Tex is washed up.pnhasbeen;1173732 wrote:Brandon League for Prince Fielder?
Yeah...winning a batting title is worthless...as is winning the save title. Folks...the dude really said that. LOLOOL. Tee it back up Slick, I'll give you yet another mulligan.Mooney44Cards;1173748 wrote:Anyone who is serious about baseball knows why batting average and saves are terrible stats.
Not all stats are created equal.....slick.
Ok so he doesn't hit .300 anymore. You realize there are 20 stats more useful than batting avg? Obviously you don't.Footwedge;1173750 wrote:Does Detroit need a closer? Nope.

No.....now I know this is difficult for you to understand.....but we can't tell from batting average. Because batting average treats every hit equally. A home run is not worth the same as a single. Ditto for doubles and triples. Slugging percentage does not suffer from this same bias.Footwedge;1173770 wrote:Wut? Drunk post, mebbe?
I don't know what you base trade value on, but hello....stats have a lot to do widdit. Try translating in English.pnhasbeen;1173765 wrote:He actually said "useless stats like saves and ba." I bet you those stats are not what a trade is based on.
Speculation. Soriano is not the second coming you know. Look up his recent numbers....Neither do the yankees. Soriano will be fine until robertson (I think that's his name) gets back. Losing MO isn't a make or break thing for them.
Apparently you're another one that is unaware that Tex's numbers have been pretty much garbage over the past 2 1/4 years. Hardly worth the money...and getting rid of Tex would hardly screw up the Yankee offence. Tex is part of the problem...not the solution.They aren't going to fuck up their offense for so guy who will only matter three times a week at most.

So who's more valuable....guy hitting .250 with 56 HRs or a guy hitting .320 with 7 HRs?

Yes, and as pnhasbeen pointed out, it was a trick question. You can't tell from batting average how valuable a player is. Slugging percentage is not a perfect stat either, but it is a hell of a lot more useful than batting average, because it doesn't treat all hits equally.Footwedge;1173811 wrote:from your post #31...verbatim...

Moon....you can rattle off hypotheticals all you want.
