I know you're being a little tongue in cheek...but I'd be alright with Jay playing out of his GD mind for 10-15 years.Fat Strat wrote:Right now they're tied in OPS+ and draft history & MiLB stats suggest that Jay will outperform Pujols long term.Swingingbunt wrote:Does...not...compute.The most productive batter for the St. Louis Cardinals is Jon Jay

I like how even when Pujols "underperforms" (ESPN's wording), he's still better than 99.9% of baseball players.

*shrug* it works both ways. His counting stats should have been a lot higher because he was passed so much. I'm not being vindictive, i'm just saying his numbers are a little skewed.InvincibleCakeEater wrote:Why does that matter?RxOfCowbell wrote: i always take his stats during those years with a grain of salt...

He walked over 100 times without the intentional walk. He slugged .812. Think about that. He scared the opposition so much they just put him on intentionally 20% of the time. That shouldn't discredit anything.RxOfCowbell wrote:*shrug* it works both ways. His counting stats should have been a lot higher because he was passed so much.

i'm not trying to discredit him. there is no doubting that he had probably the best offensive years during the history of baseball in that time. But I just don't think that pointing to a 1.422 OPS is the best measure of that.
