Calling people dishonest fools with silly positions seems a little bit out of line. I'm not sure that James would warrant full posting priveleges at SSI.
Jeff Clements minors and college stats show complete destruction of the minors at all levels. except for a third of a season of AAA that was only so-so.
Dude never had a bad day until he got to MLB.
Here Doc. Here's a Perry Mason moment to get your $3.00 worth out of your next encounter with James.
According to Page 443 of the "Bill James Handbook 2008", which I understand, use all of James' advanced methods to forecast baseball seasons, the projection for Clement's rookie year of 2008 was as follows: .254/.325/.430
Clement's actual 2008 year .227/.295/.360.
Further, after Clement has continued to flop in the majors, he has put up some excellent numbers in the minors.
Clements AAA slashline from 2012 was .276/.340/.486. That included 35 doubles 2 triples and 16 home runs in 459 at bats.
I'd love to hear from James why Clement's big hits never came in the bigs, when they have almost always been there for him at every other level.
