Depending on the situation I might agree. However, that is not Abreu's WAR.

2015 3.8 WAR (3.7 oWAR, -0.9 dWAR) .850 OPS
2016 2.8 WAR (3.3 oWAR -1.5 dWAR) .820 OPS
These are certainly not MVP numbers, but they are way better than "mediocre"

That is 6.6 total WAR, and 7.0 oWAR. Since you don't have to take off your shoes to count to these numbers, I expected you to get this. I was wrong. I'm sorry you're a dumbass.

Remember when I mentioned he wasn't the power hitter you all thought he was? And then you all agreed with me because it was a reasonable thought and I backed it up with predictive analytics?

Or that could have been the case, but instead you were dumb.

Bob never struck as a brainlessly regurgitating numbers guy, but here we are.

That's all he's capable of. At a certain point it's not worth responding to. We all have the internet. If I want Bob's take on someone, I can easily pull up Fangraphs.

Did you post that during the year he hit 35 home runs or was it in the interim between that year and the one where he hit 30?

Anyway, I don't think you mentioned that he wasn't a power hitter, just that his many home runs didn't go as far over the fence as others.

I posted it during his very first season. And yes, I said he wasn't going to be a 35+ HR guy each season.

No you didn't because you wouldn't have known he was a 35 HR guy during his first season. However, he was a 30 HR guy the next season, which still lead his team and was near the top of his league.

I wrote in your second quoted thread that reports had him at 25 HR per year. He has met or exceeded that number in every year, which means he has exceeded this Sox fan's expectations circa April 2014..
