Just wanted to jump in and say that batting average is a terrible tool to measure offense

This.

The idiots have zero summed the notion that other stats beside BA have importance.

To them any mention of BA is now irrelevant.

It's a fun stat that I look at, but it doesn't measure how good a player is. It completely disregards walks, which is pretty important. Just ask Jeff Francoeur.

Chip thought Adam Laroche had more hits than Freeman?

I think that's very well understood.

I get that, we (the not dumb people), get that.

BA is not an all inclusive stat, but that doesn't mean it's irrelevant and should be ignored.

BA is a telling stat about a players offensive ability.

Not going back and reading a bunch of idiocy, but this is right. It is not the end all/be all. It may or may not even be the best stat to consider. But it is a stat that does carry some weight and rightfully so.

It carries some weight, but I don't think any smart GM would use it when trying to decide how to pay a player or who to trade for or sign in free agency. I know I won't change anyone's opinion, though.

P.S. This team is miserable to watch.

It'll be interesting to see how far this team nosedives...

I have a question, would you trade the starting position players for Miami's starting position players?
