June 23, 201015 yr QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 23, 2010 -> 10:39 AM) Nice. Where do you find those splits? B-R is amazing. http://www.baseball-reference.com/leagues/...L&year=2010 http://www.baseball-reference.com/leagues/...B&year=2010 what's even better, that I'd never noticed before, was if you click on the position itself ("as SS"), it lists the teams in order of offensive production. Only 3 teams have a SS with an OPS over .800 - the Rockies, Marlins, and Giants, and only 6 have a SS with an OPS of greater than .750 - the Blue Jays, Dodgers, and Yankees join the group. I haven't looked at his WAR, but I would imagine that Alexei Ramirez is the most valuable, or very close to the most valuable, shortstop in the AL right now. EDIT again: I suck. Marco Scutaro, followed by Derek Jeter, followed by Alex Gonzalez. Edited June 23, 201015 yr by witesoxfan

The issue with them is...they're including everyone who has played SS, including people who have sucked as replacements/bench players. Of course, this does appear to be a down season for SS stats as of now, but here's a different way to look at Alexei's bat so far: Alexei Ramirez has an OPS 20 points lower than Yuniesky Betancourt.

Check post #22. That's never, ever good when you have a lower anything than Yuniesky. Edited June 23, 201015 yr by Jordan4life

Marco Scutaro, followed by Derek Jeter, followed by Alex Gonzalez. This is true. Thanks for the links. I can't believe I didn't realize baseball reference had these splits. I've been a regular at that site for years.

ESPN tends to have some inaccurate stats, especially splits. Stick with baseballreference.com
June 23, 201015 yr QUOTE (daggins @ Jun 22, 2010 -> 09:14 PM) Like usual, his bat is heating up with the weather. The pleasant surprise has been his crazy good defense lately. It really shouldn't be a surprise. Last year he made a lot of great plays, had trouble with the easier plays. He's gaining more and more confidence and I think we'll have one or two really good seasons out of him where he's a plus offensive & defensive player (after that, who knows where Ramirez will be playing). If the Sox end up making the postseason and finishing strong, he'll be a big reason why, imo.
