Well it is on the phone current drilling Kirk so McAuliffe the kind whatsoever and got a few places with some grown. What are you illicit we try to go to the same place you know they want to sell imported yet and won't let us sit. First. And then you got off. I so love what you've taken all of you do you know -- you listening post comments.
I -- and there's -- there's -- well are more likely play events as someone who who who worship the altered statistics for baseball and preparation and approaching it like ought to tell you it -- take into the typically. I ever want to pilot ordered RBIs are all the mystic Indian allies approached better. I know you guys are talking about what I think the more relevant statistics. It's I think it's our security and becoming the product is RBI and RBIs girl opportunities. You know you you look at some guy -- there aren't Technorati and you can claiming horrific year based on the fact that the draw -- right. -- at 35% that I had an opportunity literally export division did you guys and pop -- Where literally after that strip the era with runners like it or are with what B two outs. It should try that -- sounds like you're driving Arctic chill in recent -- at your job and -- the lord -- and what he's built -- it.
So wouldn't it make sense that if you've got a team that has more men on base during the course of the season -- better -- like. The gonna have a higher RBI total.
Well it depends on where those players are on basing your life or about it -- I mean in -- and -- I know.
I wanna know what those numbers for J. D. Drew because I I've gotta tell -- I don't know where it seems like it seems like there's a lot of times. And then again. This is not your -- and what without having numbers in front.
I'm -- you're -- big mistake well auto industry where it is so near comical up by it are really relevant to this -- because we. Jerk jerk comments so you know it took all our spirits -- I think it's a pretty good bit stronger. That's how this little holes in my memory is analyzing a general Heidi we -- talking about I think it'll all Everett there's three -- above average there are. They don't play well liked it more -- secret -- opposite they have statistical up formulas that document everything. So we we we feel okay culture you but he believes it could -- a -- I promise you whether you like it or not or a product or on the Q yes. Doubt that tobacco be argued that bit yeah. -- Offensive -- that's simply aren't -- worth every penny of every already paying him and pick a candidate -- opinion -- one only one that -- actually.
We understand that he's the guy -- the guy that agreed to pay and that type of money. Andy says he's worth more money than he actually did have so.
I agree with that was similar trying to should try to point out you talked about RBIs are -- grim than RBIs are not that that important.
But are you more.
Not known to not important but I think again we talk about the statistic I think that we're gonna get it took her or understand. There's a there's it's irrelevant what in the context of opportunities. And yeah.
Second or third or his -- birth.
Organic I think it's got it gets 24 homers and drug agency Iran's. You know he lied it only to have the opportunity I think certainly -- the course of the season.
I'll get them gonna try to -- gonna try to determine a different way okay in again you're right I don't of the stats that deals got right in front of you did that then I'm gonna. I think that certain players and a power hitters that I know around this week. Are bigger threat to look Curt Schilling when they get -- into the right then J. D. Drew is.
And not not not at all not at all I'll tell you why -- JD as a guy who and again this career has been built around getting on base. And you don't make jarring hit that you want a guy I don't wanna I take a walk occurrence or acquisition. You know on base percentage is what tribes -- ever wanted to believe the guys who worked that worked 370 plus on base percentage guys. Because they generally for the most part those guys did dole got a lot JD checked out more than most but. But the fact that better bolt or guidance. Go there you didn't necessarily -- if you want to base their values and yes you're getting a big time -- they're value is just as much in the back that. In their own merchandise they're gonna drop two walks you're gonna make appeal Baltic did you not quite what it is. A proposal lot of Guerrero was gonna go for four drug blocks and -- it -- five judges. -- there's a deeper evaluate any you know I promise you that bid bid bid bid depth of the statistical and help that that they do. These players that they -- dollar value is far different form Maurice Cheeks. Predict probably put up a wall anything you've ever. -- That's what this system does when it goes up the value players that put the true I don't -- Red Sox dollar value to a quarter.
What's Jason they were us.
A lot. A lot -- cannot tell you why don't that beat I don't know what the people at the -- You are hurt that the from the the people at the metric system. Are the value system that these -- underrated -- he's got he's got a lower value. But he Fenway Park that's in the -- And that's replay you'd want your game shall become less of an issue so it becomes more valuable. I'm eagerly taking stadium really you know what that might change a little bit -- saudis really could not sleep. I would guess has below average speed that's a pretty as more -- is exactly Oscar is fundamentally a very very good outfielder. He would come up -- government a super strong but not built you don't count still. At Fenway Park those that -- that's a metric is is probably not as significant as the might be pure play Internet time.
Yes it -- guess at what he's gonna get this offseason purity gas. A row -- priced at sixteen probably. You know the difference -- society the tickled I don't know Arnold Arnold MacBook and I got off drugs these J. D. Drew one of the top two or three overall oh fumes in the week. Perception overall -- look at.
Nobody bid but the candidate who bet -- that right I don't tip number one and number so I don't hear you talking about the different value systems in Oakland. -- you are and again I don't mean you personally they were talking about earlier. I'm Leo he looks like an above average because -- do just. Spell it for 400 here that -- drafted players. Well it looks like to play it looked like a baseball player is built like a baseball player it's got -- told we're finding out -- 01 told you really need that would just. They'll be natural a bit less -- we -- to play with. Bit bit in the late rumor on the on the on the forty try to look like on my jock they just didn't balk at did not want it nobody but that --
We -- all -- these guys doing the work -- hero rock force 645000. To nine and applied.
Apple in the best example on the planet other guys play first and second base on this team. What got look at either one of those guys practically Kurtz and all this -- upper.
But all I don't see it again it -- argue that point I look at those two guys and I feel totally different about them. I mean I don't hot one in a positive way I don't know much about them than I do -- come up again trashing J. D. Drew. They are in and the other thing that aggravates me about him and I think this probably would drive the manager. Crazy is that you don't know what he shows up at the ballpark with a you can pencil woman in the lineup we're not.
Doubt -- that's an intangible that's why not just the manager -- you call eight bit permeates the call up what how are you big plate which can look great. There's nobody that they probably -- was more outspoken against -- truth not what we drop it -- universal audio military it was probably. Well no probably -- and so I think they should not upset and walked again I then that's our look back on debt and other to a particular Scott or Austin dark it's coming -- I.
I believe you're using an race and -- in your life you go back an array.
And I want to get back into it sector of the iMac and I'm Bennett I'm -- you know. Running remember you know senate you know -- that's -- I wanna spend the batteries at him you know. And then again until I met them and then you know what he's a guy shows up an entity -- can't read like got to fight the best I've played a lot of guys who. I can identify with because they're like they had a -- percent decline on the field more emotional -- And I realized I was 22%. Nor ever will -- like 78. -- Dutch -- they -- quite that -- not quite -- rehab that they don't believe in there are reports that it'll produce -- percent. He's not one of those guys. But but again there are guys a lot walking down the stairway they can -- and biggie they can pull a muscle. And it happened in Apple's got it but but when he thought -- seen what -- bought a period.
Now if you use the new -- until you actually worked with a fuselage like -- what usually glitzy but that's all this I. Don't I don't like it. Or any time our. -- little -- is so sick. I don't even know who has no idea who you're still listening to hook. Up that's right. He's got Clinton rolling over okay so chilling -- you like dragon naturally has made -- may -- Conditions are a terror we can remember Bob I know possible that Greg and other noted earlier the big joke. Telling me.
