Re: Who are the best players in the game?
Part of it is Adam Dunn. I think with the inevitable acquisition of Strasburg it's going to give the team a real number one ace, Zimmerman and Dukes will continue to develope, they should be able to have enough guys come up through the minors along with signings and trades now that Bowden isn't around that the team should be at least 82-80 in 2010 or 2011. And that's the best case scenario. I'd like to see them do it as a fan and if it doesn't happen, I'll be the first person on here to explain why.Comment

Re: Who are the best players in the game?
You couldn't be more wrong. RBI's are a team dependent statistic. You know a player amasses RBI's? By having others in front of him get on base. Here's a line from 2007, solely RBI's:
Player A: 105
Player B: 81
If you think Player A is a better player, you just said Jeff Francouer was better than Hanley Ramirez that year.
Also, I'd never take the opinion of manager seriously when Dusty Baker has a job. The guy would rather have an out happen than a walk. Also, do you know what the best general mangers would say? They never taken into account RBI's when acquring players.
Anyways, Pujols is the best player in the game. He was injured all of last year (something w/his shoulder) and still won the MVP and has been arguable the most feared hitter for the last 5 seasons. In his 8 years in the league, he's averaging a line of .334avg/ 42 HRs & 128 RBIs a season not to mention a fielding percentage of .995% the last 4 years.Originally posted by Gibson88Anyone who asked for an ETA is not being Master of their Domain.
It's hard though...especially when I got my neighbor playing their franchise across the street...maybe I will occupy myself with Glamore Magazine.Comment

Re: Who are the best players in the game?
Dude, I'm not sure if you've ever watched baseball but RBIs are the most important stat in the game when talking about hitters. Average, HRs, OPB don't mean anything if a player can't deliver in the clutch and bring runners home. I mean if a player has 2 on w/2 out and he walks or bunts for a hit...Well, eventually, the inning is successfull if he and the other runners on score and someone drives them home.
As stated earlier, in order to win the game the winning team must outscore the opponent. If you personally could ask every major league player and/or manager, each one would say the most important stat is the RBI.Comment

Re: Who are the best players in the game?
It's overvalued because it's so dependent on the players you have hitting in front of you. Andruw Jones had 128 RBIs in 2005. Sounds good, right? It does until you consider he batted .236 with runners on base and .207 with runners in scoring position. RBIs can just be extremely misleading.Originally posted by Gibson88Anyone who asked for an ETA is not being Master of their Domain.

And by the way, I'm a fan of the Nats. I still know there's no way I can say with confidence that they (or my O's) will "definitely" be winning teams in 2 or 3 years. Especially in the divisions that both of them are in.Comment

Re: Who are the best players in the game?
Do you know who follows my train of thought? Billy Beane. He's the best general manager in the sport. Do you know who else does? The guy who turned around the Rays, Andrew Friedman. Along with the guy who brought two championships to Boston, Theo Epstein. Do you know who thinks like you? Ned Colletti, arguably the worst GM in baseball.Comment
