But no way in hell do we trade Salvy. He’s the Joe Thomas to our Cleveland Browns. |

Hey, look: a guy who started playing fantasy baseball 10 years ago suddenly thinks he’s an expert on statistical analysis.
Welcome aboard, Bill James. Dumb ****. |

Are you saying they were wrong in his decline and projection to even have bigger drop in production years before you guys say it wasn't happening? His bat was declining prior to his injury in 2015.
I don't see why so many people are willing to defend the bat of present .200 hitter who has a gradual decline for many years now, and then act all offended as if it wasn't happening. Like this is new thing concerning his bat. No. It isn't a new thing. it has been happening for years. Even years prior to his contract in 2016. I have already stated that Alex's worth wasn't in his bat. It was his defense, hometown sentiment and putting butts in seats from his popularity locally.

I am not going to argue over baseball statistics. I have better things to do than that. Do you know how many batting and pitching statistics someone can pull out of their butt to prove anything either way? Talk about an endless run around that gets boring from the moment it starts. |

Yes, anyone can pull stats out of their ass. But it takes a real baseball savant to rely on fantasy projections to get to the truth. |

Not really. I am not going to go through stat after stat from 4 or 5 of you on an endless run around. I'm sorry you weren't able to see the decline in his bat prior to 2016. That is not my fault. |

Why the **** would we trade Whit? We have another year or two of control after this season.

Your argument that he was consistently regressing and on a solid slide is not proved by quoting fantasy baseball articles. The facts are that his 2014 and 2015 were nearly identical, and both improvements from 2013. It isn’t a bell curve regression by any means. But keep spewing your revisionist nonsense.

You're not arguing stats. You're arguing fantasy. You've been shown stats that prove you wrong

Because IF we can get anything of value for him (i.e. multiple prospects) it's more valuable than one above average second baseman on a 90 loss team.
