Just out of curiosity, did anyone do the math on how many wins Gentry would have added over Murphy?

more times than I have fingers

Gentry 3.4 in 287 plate appearances

Murphy .4 in 476

Martin 2.7 in 508

Cruz 1.5 in 456

Rios 1.1 in 197

Fangraphs

Decided to do our top 5 OFers in terms of plate appearances

Gentry had the most WAR in the 2nd fewest plate appearances

Why would I need sarcasm font, I'm being dead serious... the whole Wash is an idiot argument was built on the backbone of the value Gentry over Murphy (and just about anyone else, HRs or not)

I was totally kidding about the link. (that's why I made the reference to sarcasm)

Unreal. Hopefully that has ended.

Thanks Wash!

A great deal of his value was derived from his defense. Had a pretty great DRS for the limited number of innings he played. If he were an everyday player, then he would easily have won a defensive award.

In addition he also tied with Cruz for the highest offensive portion to WAR, he was no one trick pony

Sure, makes sense.
and for kicks, who doesn't love a player that can dribble a ball to third and beat it out by a foot...at the age of 29

first I said GENTRY/Beltre, how about reading it correctly before you stop reading it.

second, why does everyone dismiss Gentry? He has yet to be given a full time shot yet he has been pretty productive with his playing time. Gets on base, steals, and very solid defense....why is he always overlooked as an option?

I read it correctly. I just didn't type Gentry on accident.
Do you think that makes a difference? Gentry is a very good defensive OF. He can make things happen at the plate, but he's not what I want from a COF spot. That is a very weak OF and we would have a lot of trouble scoring runs again.

Why did you leave off Beltre?

Edit. never mind. You meant for OFers. Rios had 10.5 for his entire season.

I doubt it, we'll see I suppose.

 

[jta4437]

Why did you leave off Beltre?

I was only doing the OFers

See my edit.

no, not a one trick pony...
Speed. Not to take away from his hitting, but this is a guy that hits (normally) infield outs for singles, and hits singles for doubles....and so on.

Numbers for the White Sox are irrelevant

So thats not offense? its not like all this guy hits is little dribblers, he just can beat those out too

Not when weighing overall production for a player's season, no.
