I think we're in the clear to bash Carter. According to everyone's favorite stat
Carter's wRC+ is 99 so he creates 1% fewer runs than league average. I think if we bring this up at TCB they'll either discount wRC+ and find some other advanced statistic to tout Carter's worth or pat him on the back for being league average.
quote:
League average for position players is 100, and every point above 100 is a percentage point above league average. For example, a 125 wRC+ means a player created 25% more runs than a league average hitter would have in the same number of plate appearances. Similarly, every point below 100 is a percentage point below league average, so a 80 wRC+ means a player created 20% fewer runs than league average.

They'll say it's a small sample size even though we are halfway through the season. And they'll say he was above average the last 2 years

The other thing I looked up about the wRC+ stat last time it was brought was where Carter ranked among qualifying first basemen. He was like 18th out of 25 last time I checked and that was when he was doing better a few weeks ago

But but but he is going to have a great finish to the year because he had a great finish last year. We have to wait!
It's a joke. His wRC+ compared to others at a key offensive producing spot is a joke. His defense is below average. Everything about his game is below average except he draws walks, mostly because he simply cannot hit very well.

The know it all posters on TCB are ridiculous and I love to troll them.
They once told me that striking out doesn't matter because it doesn't negatively affect the offense and then started linking all this advanced statistics bullshite as proof to their stupidity.
I'm all for SOME advanced statistics. There are some of those stats that are just grasping at straws to me though
