Bottom line is that he is truly a 250 hitter that doesnt drive in many runs and is way below average defensively. If you think he is above average or even average your just wrong. But I guess the bottom line is that they really have no replacements so we have to live with his scrub loser ass for another year. On the bright side Beinfest will probably use his magic to trade scrub boy to some dumb ass like Minaya for a decent player.

Which doesn't correlate aswell as weighted OBP.

Sorry... had to change the sarcastic image above...

They're virtually the same.. a miniscule difference.

 

But I would recommend using extrapolated runs and I think extrapolated runs would show a difference closer to the 9% than to the 1%.

Going by runs created, which according to the site correlates the same as XR, assuming same sb/cs/gdp/k/hbp for all of them.

 

over 656 PA (so *4 what hermida has atm)

 

Line 1: 108 singles, 16 doubles, 4 triples, 16 HRs, 104 walks, .263/.384/.394/.778 line = 92.47 runs created

Line 2: 97 singles, 25 doubles, 5 triples, 25 HRs, 73 walks, .263/.349/.453/.802 line = 93.05 runs created

Line 3: 87 singles, 33 doubles, 6 triples, 31 HRs, 55 walks, .263/.329/.494/.823 line = 94.86 runs created

 

So the third line is 2.55% better than the first line.

 

Also, atleast in this example, 1.4*OBP that Eric used (and I normally use) correlated better than 1.8. So many studies studdies on what proper way to weight OBP though lol.

Hahaha, Hermida and "great" in the same sentence. hahahahaha

 

Dude is a SCRUB. He doesn't hustle and plays horrible defense. Any of us could play better D than him in the outfield.

The only thing i'll give him is his patience because he does get a good amount of walks, and he runs into one every now and then. But people need to stop regarding him as a prospect with alot of potential, because he has been here for a few years already. He can't get away with the "potential" excuse anymore.

 

 

I'd pay to watch you play LF in the Major Leagues. I'd love to see it.

 

Just because you play LF for your company softball team doesn't mean you can play LF at the Major League level.

I'm not the biggest Hermida fan but I can admit he has done ok of late. The question for all the "haterz" out there is who do we replace him with if we got rid of him? Don't exactly have many viable options at the present time.

Not sure where you got the singles, doubles, etc. but using those numbers and ignoring IBB, SB, CS, GIDP, SF and SH and plugging them into the Extrapolated Runs formula I came up with Guy 3 creating 6% more runs than Guy 1.

he has been fine. let's not go overboard either way. He's not the biggest problem on the team, and I'll take the '09 version over the '08 any day.

 

and PWG wins for that image. :lol

Holy sh*t man.... when did baseball stats get so complicated that I needed to bust out my old Texas Instruments calculator?

 

Jeremy will never be anything more than a 20 HR, .250 avg. hitter. Some guys here are still waiting for him to break out.

 

Give it up, guys. Accept Jeremy for an average hitter cause what he did in his youth ain't gonna happen at Landshark.

He won't ever be? He hit .300 in 2007, was that season removed from existence somehow? His '07 was great, his '08 was bad. So far he's somewhere in the middle, let's see where he winds up. We're barely a quarter through the season.

...He's not the biggest problem on the team, and I'll take the '09 version over the '08 any day.

 

 

That pretty much sums it up for me as well.

1.4*OBP+SLG correlates better than Runs Created, OPS, or Extrapolated Runs.

With all the issues this team has right now, why are we concentrating on Hermida who has actually hit pretty well these past few games? He is by far the least of our problems.

With all our loses lately there's enough blame to go around to everyone.
