I'd rather he have a full season performing well. I'm rooting for him to do it. The history is there for him to have one hot streak and call it a year.Originally Posted by S5Dewey

Can't have all stars at all positions.

"It's also a simple and indisputable fact that WAR isn't the be-all end-all in valuations, especially in real life. Wanna know why? Because an ace in run-prevention for 120 innings means more often than not, a sub-standard pitcher covering for the rest of the IP that pitcher fails to provide. You can't see value in a vacuum when a player does not provide full-time production."
the good news is that JBj has never taken his offensive cold streaks to the defensive side of baseball. in the case of Jackie Bradley Jr. defense is his purpose on this team. his occasional game tying double in the bottom of the 9th with 2 outs is just a bonus.....
other names i have posted under: none
That's very true, but that 563 OPS is kinda embarrassing. You can find guys with similar defense and better offense elsewhere in the division.
That's what the All-Star game is about, right?
Neat display. One question: why do you list batting average on balls in play, over say just batting average or on-base percentage? I've always considered batting average on balls in play a marginal stat, since not putting the ball in play is pretty important to factor in.
Well, I've done that because I've tracked it that way since 2016. When you look at 2015, the BABIP varies to the point where it just hits you over the head. It shows that there could be a bit of luck involved in how his seasons have gone (both good and bad).
That may or may not be, but they're not available to The Boston Red Sox.
It's a mere moment in a man's life between the All-Star game and the Old Timer's game.

No AL East CFers are really killing it so far this year. Hicks has been pretty good.

Anyone wanna trade JBJ, now?
No, because the return will never match his upside.
or his norm.
What's his norm? His numbers are very different year to year.
And then...
Ok?
His norm is that he's hot for stretches and cold for longer stretches.
If you don't count JBJ's first 500 or so PAs in MLB, scattered over many call-ups and send downs, his seasonal numbers are not all that inconsistent:
.832 in 2015
.835 in 2016
.726 in 2017
___ in 2018?
Maybe his norm is from .720-.820 with chances of falling outside maybe higher than most player's 100 point window projection.
