I disagree with your interpretation of the statistics. -- nm - nubby, Least Important Poster Nov 5, 12:38 1
- I interpret them as a spreadsheet wherein Bourne is at the bottom and the name right above him is Fracoeur. Too maverick-y? -- nm - David Nov 5, 12:39
This is payback for my Kazmir analogy the other day, isn't it? (nm) - musubi Nov 5, 12:37 9
- It's just so frustrating to see the same guy have the same at bat every damn time. -- nm - David Nov 5, 12:38 8
  - (He went down 0-2 in the count 53 times more than any other hitter in baseball.) -- nm - David Nov 5, 12:38 7
    - Wait a 2nd.....53 more times? 700 plate apps a year, he somehow managed to do that 53 more *times* than anyone else? - Will Hunting Nov 5, 12:41 2
      - This is what I'm saying! It's so easily fixable if he would just, you know, learn. -- nm - David Nov 5, 12:48
      - hell, just look at the 700 PAs of horrid OBP and there's a good argument he's way worse than Bourne. - musubi Nov 5, 12:47
    - It really is a conundrum, because he is still young and cheap. Add in the ATL has used him as a cornerston in marketing and there is simply no way - musubi Nov 5, 12:41 3
      - Apparently, all you need is trade him for anyone other than Michael Bourn and you have commensurate value. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 5, 12:43 2
        
        Only if you ignore the young, cheap, and marketing cornerstone aspects. - musubi Nov 5, 12:44 1
        
        At this point, wouldn't having your young marketable cornerstone not be this bad for a 90+ loss team be soemthing you'd gladly turn the corner on? - Will Hunting Nov 5, 12:47
