Shinzaki Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 In fairness to Javier...his 2022 K Rate of 24.9% was his lowest K rate since 2016. Maybe he needs to be more aggressive at the plate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which... Does NOT change the FACT that Baez put up 2.6 WAR in 2022. His career WAR? 25.9. It doesn't matter how many swings and misses you want to show, or how ridiculous he looks trying to hit those sliders... he provides value at a high level. A higher level than Neifi Perez could ever dream of. What a completely ridiculous comparison. More ridiculous than Baez swinging at a slider. Neifi's CAREER WAR? 2.6.

Regrettable that WAR does not have a designated slot on the scoreboard? Just think about how MUCH MORE USEFUL El Mago could be if he'd learn a little plate discipline? I mean it's only obvious to every pitcher that faces him, down and away makes him your fool. As for the Neifi Perez comparison..it was a metaphor. It's comical that you guys think you can dredge up some stat and turn my attention...it was a metaphor ferchrisakes. And Baez will continue to amuse me so long as he continues chasing those low ones, regardless of who's "hero" he might otherwise be.

More ridiculous than Baez swinging at a slider Baez in 2022 also had an on base percentage 11 points lower than Victor Reyes, while committing a career high in errors, the total of which was 6 times higher than Neifi Perez committed during his entire tenure as a Tiger.

Shinzaki Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 (edited) 25 out of 25 baseball fans, experts, mavens, coaches, executives, owners, managers, accountants etc...would pick Javier Baez over Neifi Perez. Is Javier Baez perfect? By no means. Is there empirical data that suggests he was the least of issues in 2021? also yes Edited December 13, 2022 by Shinzaki 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tenacious D Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 I’m not sure what Baez would need to do to get the stink of 2022 off of him for a team to take on the remainder of his contract. He’s ours, for better or worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoCalTiger Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 Keep Baez and wait for the turnaround that is coming in 2023. After which he will opt out and if he doesn't the 4/93 remaining will be reasonable. Careful what you wish for. If one War equals 8 million then he only needs to add one war of production to last years numbers to meet his salary.Seems likely to me and he is an exciting player. I'm looking forward to watching him play in 2023 warts and all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
