very happy about abe nunez

 

dont get down on choi guys, he hasnt even played one game with us

 

I have to wonder how many people here have actually seen Abraham Nunez play the game of baseball? The same thing goes for Choi. I guess we are all not as privileged as you nor as knowledgeable as you. We just may have to - gasp! - form opinions on what information we have: stats. But perhaps you can give us your expert analysis since you have been watching both players since T-ball, I am sure.

Mommy forget to change your diaper this morning Jonny? :w00t

From your limited perspective no doubt all you need to do is look at a line of stats and make up your mind about a player or players you've never seen play the game.

 

For myself, I'm willing to commit the time to dig a bit deeper, watch AA or AAA streamed games or make it a point to follow the minor league teams everyday in their local papers.

 

I check two Korean dailies through Google news every day to see what's happening with Big Choi and do the same for other players that interest me. It's probably a waste of my time because I should do like you do, make a decision about a player from his 100 ABs and ignore all the stuff like Abe Nunez's swoon at the end of his abbreviated 2003 season that dropped his average from around .355 to .310 in about ten games.

 

Stats don't tell you that he's a streak hitter who can go weeks without an extra base hit and then hit three homers in a week. Stats don't tell you that he often looks confused in the outfield. Stats don't tell you that Choi was NL Rookie of the Month his month in the bigs, but you just keep reading those stats buddy because let's face, they are all that counts.

 

Knowledge comes at a price, one you obviously aren't willing to pay. Privilege? Well, it is a privilege to be a baseball fan and I take it seriously.
