I truly hope you're not talking about Granderson
hes probably talking about felix pie
ellsbury was who i was talking about.
bautista
cabrera
granderson
gonzalez
verlander
Ellsbury>Gonzalez
I get so sick of this:
Cabrera's total ABs: 688
Verlander's Batters Faced: 824
When a pitcher is so far beyond every other pitcher they have to be considered.
Note: To get my totals....
Cabreras total AB= ABs+Walks+IBB
Verlanders batters faced= (IPx3)+ BB
Cabrera's contribution to his team's performance isn't limited just to his plate appearances.
When he's on base he's contributing.
When someone is on base during his at bat he's contributing double, triple, or quadruple (assuming he does something, of course)
When he's playing defense he's contributing.
Ellsbury is definitely better than Granderson... I'm not really sure how you can think Granderson is better...
The only thing Ellsbury has on Granderson is batting average and stolen bases.
Speaking offensive statistics, though. Ellsbury is most likely the better defensive player, but I haven't seen many Red Sox or Yankee games this year.
Ellsbury is definitely the better defensive player.
Ellsbury is a leadoff hitter... he should have higher BA and more SB... the fact he has 31 HR's is a bonus and most leadoff hitters don't contain that weapon
The RBI are nice too, I mean, their bottom of the order hasn't always been pretty. Good year, that's why he's a deserving candidate. Monster year for the award if you ask me. Same for the Cy Young. If you took out Verlander's dominate year, just look at what's left..it's pretty damn awesome.
Not well
