Look, I'm not saying Andruw's a failure or a horrible person or that he's unclutch. He'll probably always do worse in RISP given his profile (low BA, high-K hitter). But he's overvalued because he doesn't get on base and doesn't do well in RISP. He's a very good player, one of the 20 best in the bigs last year. He's not an MVP, and in no way did he carry this team (which had a sub-4 ERA). Now, Andruw's part of the reason for that superb defense, but so are Langerhans, Furcal, Giles, and LaRoche.
