Re: Is A-Rod \"Becomming\" a Yankee?????

It doesn't matter whether or not it's a greater percentage, it's still the same contribution.

Chipper played LF primarily for two years

[quote[i think you can assume from that his value to texas is greater than to NY, but that goes w/o saying.

No. A-Rod contributes a greater percentage of the value, true, but that...

Re: Is A-Rod \"Becomming\" a Yankee?????

3B has never been a high-powered position, and Chipper's one of the better 3Bs of all time. It's usually just slightly above average offensively. There have been times where 3B is less of an...

Re: Is A-Rod \"Becomming\" a Yankee?????

Chipper was mostly a 3B, not OF.

Re: Is A-Rod \"Becomming\" a Yankee?????

Win Shares are an overblown, bloated, complicated, and in many cases, non-sensical stat created by Bill James that tries to incorporate a whole of a player's value.

If you search around, I think...

Re: Is A-Rod \"Becomming\" a Yankee?????

No, because then you'd be judging a player on things outside of their control.

Edit: I'm nowhere near one of the top baseball minds. This is just something I do in my spare time...

Calm down, A-Rod still doesn't even have 7000 PA yet.

Re: Is A-Rod \"Becomming\" a Yankee?????

Yes, a base-line is normally average or replacement level - replacement level is the theoretical level of offense you'd get from someone readily available in the minors.

As for your second point,...

Re: Is A-Rod \"Becomming\" a Yankee?????

Of course, 2004 was the ultimate down year for chipper. If you compare them in other years it'll be closer. Chipper might even pass A-Rod in a few years, like 1999.

1.8OBP+SLG.

It doesn't much matter, A-Rod is clearly far above Chipper once you take position into account - which, yes, makes a huge difference.

Re: Is A-Rod \"Becomming\" a Yankee?????

A-Rod is a better hitter even before you take defense into account. You never compare hitters across positions, you compare them relative to a base-line at their position and then whoever's higher...

Re: Is A-Rod \"Becomming\" a Yankee?????

Huh, you must've forgot the part where A-Rod was a gold glove shortstop and Chipper, well... to put it lightly, wasn't.

Re: Is A-Rod \"Becomming\" a Yankee?????

In what world outside of 2005's 100 PA is Chipper better than A-Rod?

There are roughly 5 top-tier 3B in the league all near each other offensively and defensively. They are:

Rolen
Mora
Beltre...

Re: Is A-Rod \"Becomming\" a Yankee?????

Why would you expect Ichiro!, Nomar, etc to be "clutch"? And are you talking about them being better in every category across the board, or just BA?

Perhaps they're better equipped to face closers...

Re: Is A-Rod \"Becomming\" a Yankee?????

The thing is, and here's the monumental error with your analysis, the only frame of reference you're giving is to Albert Pujols and Bernie Williams. Maybe you should give the average BA/OBP/SLG for...

Per ESPN.com his three year splits (2002-2005) for "close and late" come out to a .937 OPS, compared to a .967 OPS in other times. His BA drops slightly (to .265. from .288), his OBP gets higher, and...
