Freddy Galvis, J.P. Crawford have Phils loaded
Some retarded excerpts, and the actual logic to them.
"There's no question that Freddy Galvis provides enough value doing exactly what he did in 2016 to be a shortstop on a playoff team. I have no doubt about it. His defense is that good."- Matt Klentak
Actually, probably not. Freddy Galvis had a WAR of 2.4 last year, ranked 15th among all MLB shortstops. Not bad, but nothing spectacular. And then we look at WAA, a stat that is growing on me, and see he put up a -0.7 Wins Above Average. That means that when computing the waaW-L% using a Pythageron conversion and then subtracting .500 and multiplying by the number of games played (158 for Galvis in '16 for those keeping track at home), Galvis is -0.7 wins worse than an average major league starter.
"Then again, Galvis is only 27 and has more than four years of big league service time. Scouts and front-office people can project what Crawford might be able to do, but Galvis has already demonstrated it."
Yeah, no.
"If they are still struggling to score when Crawford is deemed ready, that could work in his favor. If the offense improves dramatically over the next season or two, more of a premium might be placed on the kind of defense Galvis provides."
There is no reality, unless Crawford gets killed doing blow and driving his boat in Miami, or develops the YIPS and completely shits the bed, where Galvis is starting over Crawford two years from now.
