Predict Puig's 2013 Final Batting Average

[Robber]

So what's your prediction?

A 4 war

A .320 ba

And he makes all the haters look like the fools that they are

No need to start the name calling (unless you're 15 years old).

Just as a reference point, Hunter Pence had a 4 WAR in 2009. No one ever talked about him becoming one of the greatest players ever.

[TheLock]

Giancarlo Stanton's WAR in 2011: 4.1

2012: 5.5

He wasn't lead story on Baseball Tonight every night.

I think that's one of the reasons people are put off by Puig mania.

[d2bets]

Through first 6 games:

Yasiel Puig .435 avg (10/23), .458 OBP, 1.000 slug, 1.458 OPS, 4HR
Junior Lake .519 avg (14/27), .536 OBP, .852 slug, 1.388 OPS, 2HR

Why isn't Lake being hyped like Puig was after the first week?

Pence was also 26 at the time, in his 5th year of proball, and managed those 4 WAR over 650 PA.

Are you 15 years old?

Not sure if you're aware but puig was brought up in June

Don't compare him to full seasons

[Robber]

Who said puig is becoming one of the greatest ever? He's just off to a great start

Haters meaning people saying he won't hit .300 as if he got lucky and can't really hit

[TheLock]

So people saying his small sample size is nothing to get excited about yet are morons but you don't want me to compare him to anyone because of his small sample size?

Ok.

[Robber]

Huh? You want to compare a 4 war compare it to four months of pence not six months

I said 4 WAR and you bring up numbers of guys who played a full season with over 600 ABs

Compare apples to apples

But this season he may even have a higher WAR than pence with two months less playing time

2 for 3 tonight.. this kid is a stud

At the end of the year they may both be in the World Series but Wil Myers will be the one they'll be talking about, not Puig. Myers
stats at seasons end will be better in 50 less AB's he already has as many RBI's.

[Robber]

Puig 6th among nl OFs in WAR

[face]

He wasn't lead story on Baseball Tonight every night.

that show is starting to piss me off. it's just not for people who like what is actually going on in baseball.

puig is fine and i think he'll hit .300+ but the meat of the lineup is still hanley and a gon. and how come they're always talking about the angels instead of the A's? the fukking mariners are ahead of the angels.
also the diamondbacks are only a half game back, not that i'm very impressed with them, but still, they make it seem like the dodgers are way ahead (not hating on dodgers as they have been cashing a lot)
dodgers might struggle with the good teams, we'll see.

That's why they're talking about it haha.

[Hawk007]

Dudes a Stud!!

.340

[Chi_archie]

for July Puig is now hitting .288

OPS of .754

2 sbs 3 caught stealings

27 strikeouts in 80abs


he only had 20 SO's in 101abs for June

[InTheDrink]

[The Giant]

Drinker, I'm offering you a 200 point buyout.

This offer is valid for the next 24 hours.

[William Walters]

Yup........Puig is screwed now that the "book" is out on him. Back to the minors for this shitbox Cuban.

Just another HR, double, walk, 2 runs scored and RBI for Puig.

Guy blows for sure.

[Robber]

Puig with another 3 hit game

What a monster

Even got a triple

[The Kraken]

Steroids
PED's
Needles

[William Walters]

over/under .280

.298

nothing gets past thegiant

thegiant let me help you...

hyperbole [haɪˈpɜːbəlɪ]n (Literature / Rhetoric) a deliberate exaggeration used for effect



point being he wont hit 300

if he goes hitless for a 6 (avg 24AB) game span does he get sent down? what about 10 (40AB) game span

under
245

Just a sampling SBR's brightest.

[Chi_archie]

I see Puig's WAR is 3.1 now (espn's version)

wasn't it higher before the all star break even? has the guy been just a replacement level player for a month?

I'm not sure what it was before. But he's so terrible defensively, I'm sure it drops

Not sure where you see that ESPn has him listed at 3.9 WAR ; and he's been great since the ASB

I'm not sure what it was before. But he's so terrible defensively, I'm sure it drops

Actually DRS (used by BBR/ESPN) and UZR (used by Fangraphs) both rate Puig as above average defensively.

[Robber]

Puig was 2.6 at the break

Now his war is 3.9

Quit making stuff up he's been great

[Ghenghis Kahn]

puig doing some dumb shit out there in the center.

iq of an ant.

[Chi_archie]

I think I see his Offensive War as 3.1 here

http://espn.go.com/mlb/team/stats/batting/_/name/lad/los-angeles-dodgers

[Chi_archie]

meanwhile Hanley has played less games and has a higher WAR..... but not quite as much buzz for him

[Robber]

Puig's overall WAR will be 4. Up 1.4 since the break

http://espn.go.com/mlb/stats/batting/_/year/2013/seasontype/2

Go to espn stats
another two hits tonight

[Robber]

meanwhile Hanley has played less games and has a higher WAR..... but not quite as much buzz for him

Again not true

Puig has a higher war if you look at the actual stat as opposed to owar

[jnickell100]

[InTheDrink]

are you scratching your head because he's 4 for his last 24?

[Doug]

He seems a bit low on the RBI's considering his number of HR's and high batting average and batting position in the lineup.

I'd sure want him on my team next year, but would prefer Trout.
