I prefer Kim to Adames because the QO for Adames would again cost too many losing draft choices.
Getting runs in is very, very important. How many times in the last number of seasons have the Giants loaded the bags with no outs and DID NOT SCORE?
I agree with Buster. It’s like Beane said, “my stuff doesn’t work in October”.
Winning players up their game with ducks on the pond. Not all runs are created equal.
Give me a lineup of RBI guys.
Under what system did the Giants win 3 World Series? There is room for both system, but the players still have to play the game. You can have the best analytics in the game, but you still have to have the players.
I think if you look etc the Giants over the last year, Posey's assertion makes great sense. The most frustrating thing about the Giants has been their inability to drive in runs with one or two outs. Of course the Giants OPS has not been great. But when you look at mid level players I think OPS is probably less important.
Would you trade Dovall to the Blue Jays straight up for BichetteBoth had bad years.
I agree with Buster here. You gotta give him time. And calm down the analytics a little bit.
