In Response to Re: Crawford = Vernon Wells??:Ah but the difference is that I expect him to get the average up to .290. Just like I expect Crawford to continue to climb. Based on your arguement, everything is an opinion until November. If Tex hits .250 for the year, that would make me happy but I don't expect it.Posted by jimdavis
Didn't he hit .250 last year? Did you expect it? What did your "tangible numbers" show you last spring training?

No I did not expect it. However, when he started out hitting .150, I certainly didn't expect him to stay there. And he didn't. He got hot and that brought him up to more respectable numbers. That is the same trajectory I expect for Crawford this season. Will I be surprised if he doesn't reach his career norms this year? No, because of the rough start. You are proving my point, not yours with the Tex argument. -

In Response to Re: Crawford = Vernon Wells??:In Response to Re: Crawford = Vernon Wells?? : But again still an opinion. Tex is the perfect example. The "tangible numbers" before he signed with the Yanks suggested a player that would hit around .290, but yet he's a .250 hitter now. So your "tangible numbers" opinion is no more valid than anyone else's opinion.

Yeah...but it's a "hard" .250, with over 30 homeruns, a good OBP (lots of walks), and well over 100 rbi. I'd gladly take that type of production from Crawford. -

But yet here is Tex still hitting .250, which is what he is now. That proves my point that what a baseball players stats are on the back of his card doesn't mean that's what he'll produce this year or next.
