I'm with you there on both believing in its affects while admitting I could be wrong or overvaluing. The effect has been mentioned about a speed guy at the top and I'm not so sure that's huge unless the speed is huge. I am more certain that a Raines or Rickey has an effect on the hitting behind them when they're on base. Who is leadoff on this squad if not Ackley, BTW?
Love the"6 inning player"phrase, that makes a lot of sense.
the initial fangraphs response was "sure, in 2013 Morse is more valuable than Jaso, but then he's gone and Jaso has 2 years left." You know how the grapevine works though. Now I'm hearing how hands down Jaso is more valuable in 2013, but that's not the predictions I can find otherwise. I agree with all those reasons and think adding a pair of MOTO as cheaply as they did is astounding. Would like to see a leadoff guy, but nothing interests me. bourn its unfortunately the best available.
