    terry has a history of being a slight troll. Guess because he's all christian though and played golf with justin once he should get away it.:rolleyes:

    Just reminding him that every team makes bone head trades.

    Can't wait for the Ihslep smack down, but I already know you're going to either: Igore the advanced stats (which you kind of already have)/not understand them or make an idiotic sarcastic remark about his 57 games this season.

    Or maybe I'll try to be funny by bringing up something totally irrelevant to what I was trying to make fun of??

    Hey, I played golf with Justin twice.

    And I was just referring to Reds fans taking their guy and Indians fans taking their guy then both sides defending it to their death. Had nothing to do with trades and no idea how that was any kind of trolling.

    You're a fucking dick dude. Nowhere in Terry's response was he even slightly trolling.

    Why do you need me to repeat myself? Since you asked, I'll recap with bullet points to simplify:

    1. AZ wanted Hanigan for defense.

    2. Hanigan is better than Santana on defense

    3. Gomes is at the very least as good (if not better) on defense, and the advanced metrics can be found in my earlier post.

    4. Gomes is better offensively than Hanigan by a long shot this year (yes, smaller sample size, but it's June already)

    5. In a vacuum, you take the player who comes out on top in the zero sum game. (ie Santana's worth on offense over Hanigan > Hanigan's worth on defense over Santana). The proof is right here: Santana 11.8 batting vs. Hanigan -6.9 (difference of 18.7)....Hanigan defense (fielding + positional) 4.2 vs. Santana -2.4 (difference of 6.6).

    6. WAR...Santana 1.7 Hanigan 0.0

    Explanations for what the various numbers mean can be found on the Fangraph site, I'm not going to summarize for you.

    Now please, stop with this stupid f*cking nonsense about Hanigan.

    Gotcha. Catcher argument is over.

    Also, Zach McAllister would be the only Indians starter in the rotation.

    Nope, just Bailey. Cueto, Latos, Leake, and Arroyo all have better numbers than any of the Indians starters.

    Have them play in the AL where there isn't a free out every 9th batter and see if they have better numbers. LOL, keep on being butt hurt though.

    But are the saber metrics there to support your argument!?!?!?!!?

    I would grasp for straws too if I got pwned that hard.
