A whopping 27.6 runs beyond a replacement player behind the leader Berkman.<BR/><BR/>His line is: .309/.366/.556. It's a fine line. An All-Star line. Yet his OPS is not even in the top ten; it is at 16. His OPS isn't even the best OPS on his team; Ian Kinsler with 15 more plate appearances is fifteen points higher at .937--and not to mention Kinsler being FOURTH in VORP at 49.5, sandwiched between such names as 'Pujols' and 'Ramirez' (Hanley, not Manny)--and Milton Bradley weighs in at a staggering 1.033 who also has him beat in VORP by 6.2 runs in 81 fewer plate appearances. Good for 7th.<BR/><BR/>I can only possibly assume you think he's worthy of the discussion because of either the useless stat of RBIs or your chronic, constantly expressed sentimentality. Either way you have no credibility left for a certain sport played with four bases and an elevated 'mound' of sorts that men stand on throwing balls at other men holding some sort of wooden bludgeoning device.Fastnesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04250511345868226554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-37825802692057956052008-07-10T15:29:00.000-04:002008-07-10T15:29:00.000-04:00NL:Cy--VolquezROY--SotoMVP--BerkmanManager--LaRuss...NL:<BR/>Cy--Volquez<BR/>ROY--Soto<BR/>MVP--Berkman<BR/>Manager--LaRussaPolitics Bloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02549687076075658754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-78505722471886817142008-07-10T10:43:00.000-04:002008-07-10T10:43:00.000-04:00You still have not answered by question of how you...You still have not answered by question of how you can vote Longoria in over Dye. Please tell me how you figure Longoria deserves an All Star spot over JD. And don't give me because he is on the first place Tampa Rays crap because JD is on the first place White Sox.Bretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07847114098891496678noreply@blogger.com
