re: Good time to pick up Starling Marte?

And Billy Hamilton was the 15th best OF per ESPN player rater

Do you know how the player rater works?

Runs 1.08
HR -.59
RBI -.52
SB 7.20
AVG .06

He's a 7.23 player on ESPN player rater - 7.20 comes from SB

Marte

Runs 1.14
HR -.01
RBI .39
SB 5.73
AVG 2.41

He was a 9.67 player

Eaton

Runs 1.78
HR .47
RBI .8
SB 1.32
AVG 1.44

Eaton was a 5.97, not a net negative anywhere and contributed across the board. Balanced.

with Marte's enormous SB boost, he's 3.7 better than eaton ETA: I was looking at the wrong player earlier for Marte's final tally - point still stands

Digest the numbers - the player rater isn't telling you the whole story. Overvaluing steals is a fools game. The guy hasn't been drafted 1st and 2nd rd bc he steals bags, he's drafted there bc people are chasing 20 bombs
