[ice grillin you]

lol @WAR

[MDS]

WAR...what is it good for?

its a pretty good indication of how each player compares to the league average. you know, math and shtein. defense aside the phillies could have played freddy galvis at SS and would have been just as zesty as they were.

there is no point in talking about baseball with people who go full head-in-sand with any kind of widely-accepted statistic that just so happened to not be around when they are growing up

jimmy rollins had a 0.1 war. that sucks. thats a fact.

You don't really need to even use WAR to illustrate that Jimmy was pretty terrible this year.  He's still my favorite Phillie but yeah.

[MDS]

in 2007 when he won the mvp jimmy had a 6.0 war

this season when hit 253 with a 320 obp and sub 700 ops he had a 0.1 war

USELESS STAT TELLS ME NOTHING

[BigEd76]

Everything fell their way today and they ended up with the #7 pick in the draft, which means more draft pool money, more international money, and their pick is protected in free agency

[QB Eagles]

Cool. The Phillies will now have a slightly better chance of having a better player who will join their team 5 years from now from a draft in which more than 50% of the top players are usually busts, unless they trade him away like they do with 90% of their picks or the kid just decides to go to college instead.

I wonder why people don't get more excited about the MLB draft.
