He's also got a 112 wRC+ so the idea that he's been a net negative at the plate is...wrong.

I feel like mcmagic is a deep cover Red Sox fan or something just constantly belittling our team at even the slightest hint that everything that could possibly be going right for us isn't occurring all at once.

Kim Jong Il posted:This opinion is hilariously bad. They both play great defense and are OBP machines, ever before Gardner's recent surge. They're both really good. Why do you want everyone to be a Joe Carter clone. Hicks' OBP is 352... That isn't exactly a "machine". His isoBP is fine but he's still hitting 250 with not much power. Gardner's OBP is 10 points higher and his SLG is a bit lower in a down year. They are both having pretty mediocre years with Gardner being an elite defender and hicks being slightly over average. The question of if they are a better team with Frazier in LF and Gardner in CF is hardly crazy.

Also, Brett Gardner is top 20 in WAR in baseball. That's how good his defense is so the conversation should be about Hicks and only Hicks and I still don't get why thinking Frazier would do better than him is the insane idea it's being made out to be in this thread.Inspector_666 posted:I mean, I would agree that doesn't qualify him as an OBP "monster."

I was shocked at how good Gardner's was but he's also been a hall of fame level defender for most of his career. I really think the Hicks/Frazier situation is pretty much an exact mirror of what happened with Drury/Andujar where the better player started the season in the minors. mcmagic fucked around with this message at 21:48 on Jun 5, 2018 |

I think Gardy's a great defender but when it comes to the stats I wonder how much of a boost he gets from being in LF over CF given how much a trashfire LF is generally league-wide.

The question of if they are a better team with Frazier in LF and Gardner in CF is hardly crazy. The Yankees have a comical embarrassment of riches with Frazier and Drury languishing in AAA when both, especially Frazier, would start for many teams. So loving what though, offense is down leaguewide. With positional adjustments, by Fangraphs WAR, Gardner is the #11 OF and Hicks is the #25 OF - in all of MLB. They're both having great offensive years when you adjust for the season. Brett Gardner has a higher wOBA than Gary Sanchez. I think people don't realize that OBP is way more valuable than slugging. That old math of adding them as OPS was dumb as hell.
