alomar vs baerga i was hoping to stay out of this lyford frosty beverage writes uh yes baerga has a lot of flash but alomar was the better hitter last year batters ba slg obp g ab r h tb b b hr rbi bb so sb cs e baerga c alomar r this is fascinating you say that alomar was the better hitter last year and immediately follow that up with numbers showing that baerga had a better year the only category that i see which shows an advantage for alomar is obp well obp is the most important offensive statistic and by a big margin points of obp is worth considerably more than points of slugging that being said i still think baerga was very slightly better last year but i think this is as close to a wash as you re likely to find i personally don t care much for alomar s defense i don t think he s nearly as good as people make him out to be and he can t turn the dp to save his life he comes across the bag improperly and his release is slow considering the high leverage of the dp this is a shortcoming i can t overlook in the long term i d move alomar to another position if the jays could trade a hot devon white for something i ll be alomar could be a hell of a cf in the long run i think i d rather have jeff kent at b and alomar in cf than alomar white gary huckabay you think that s loud enough a hole movie rights well if you re having trouble hearing it sir available thru i d be happy to turn it up for you i didn t ted frank know that many people your age liked king s x
