You really cannot trust the opinions about baseball from somebody who clearly has a low baseball IQ.
Why does BL think he has superior insight into baseball?
Because he's a proponent of advanced stats like WAR.
And he doesn't need to watch the games, because he has the stats.
LOL, you really don’t need advanced stats to see that Hunter wasn’t very good.
You say " . . . to see that Hunter wasn't very good.". Are you old enough to have actually seen him pitch? To have seen how dominant and clutch he was when it really mattered? To remember how every team wanted him when he was a FA?
So I guess Mike Hampton should be in the HOF?
The "every team wanted him when he was a FA" has to be the dumbest ******* argument of all the dumb ******* pro-hunter arguments.
A) He was the only free agent that year. If Marco Estrada was the ONLY available free agent this off-season, lots of teams would want him and he would get a RIDICULOUS contract. And that's now, 40 years later, when teams actually know how to evaluate pitching and don't just sign the guy with the most wins and a reputation for being clutch.
B) Even when there is an actual free agent class with lots of players, guys still get ridiculous contracts. See Mike Hampton. Or Pablo Sandoval. Or pick a name out of a hat.
