2008 .268 .374 .502 in 745 PA with 39 2b, 05 3b, 33hr, 98bb, 130k and 38sb

What is apparent is that Sizemore was eerily consistent, wasn't developing into anything like Dave Kingman at the plate and of course this ignores the fact he was a Gold Glove defensive player at an important position, CF

His TA (true average) for those years was .290, .305, .294, .304
His VORP (value over replacement player) is 49.2, 69.8, 58.7, 58.0
His WARP (Wins over replacement player) is 4.6, 5.2, 5.9, 5.2

His last full injury free season he had DECREASED his strikeouts by 25 at the same time increasing his HR's by 9

The shame of him getting hurt and not being the same player he was doesn't mean that he wasn't always going to be the type of player that he was in 2008. The guy was what he was, your delusions that he was going to become some Juan Pierre type or that this was a good thing makes your opinion particularly absurd in this case.

I watched him a lot those first 4 years , but I can't give you the noodle films.....you're head's in the sand anyway.

You do point out the average drop so well.

And you hide how many of those strikeouts in the first 2 years were intentional strikeouts.


The guy tried to hit 40 home runs.....you could easily see his approach changed.

He didn't, his average dropped......and he became the next Dunn wannabe.


Stop being so Jewish.
