You knew I had no shot at Lester. You know i have a shot at picking up Pedroia so you thought you'd have a little fun. No biggie.

Pedroia is perfectly rated so that he will be where he should have been in the first place after every possible upgrade. You definitely took your time with that one.

By your own grading system you cheated him in triples already xD Everything else looks ok talent wise. But you really fucked him on intangibles. He steals bases at 80% compared to David Wrights 75% and you gave them the same Stealing Ability. I'd actually be happy with Pedroia's ratings if you simply upped his Stealing Ability to the B it should be. Everything else is decent. To be completely honest.

Lol you're kidding with comparing 75% to 80% right?

That's a big deal in stolen bases if you don't know that I feel bad for you.

If you're stealing at less than a 75% success rate, you're better off never going at all. - Bill James

80% is the benchmark of a smart runner.

Yeah I know that. But is there really that big of a difference between 75% and 80%?? You're talking about maybe 1 or 2 more successful tries. LOL.

I mean look at it out of 100 attempts... it's 5 more successful tries! That's so miniscule.

You gave Brian Roberts B and he has the exact same SB% as Pedroia.

Wright is 183/240 for 76% (so above 75%)
Pedroia is 119/150 for 79% (so not 80%)
Why don't we bend the stats a little more to fit your argument?

You have zero credibility in my books now. Sorry. Bending stats like that is a joke.

Pedroia got the same speed he gave David Wright, its underrating him, but its Erbes choice |

You gave Brian Roberts B and he has the exact same SB% as Pedroia. Roberts is 278/347 for 80% If you don't know there's a difference between 80% and 79% then I feel bad for you. |

I'm not taking Pedroia anyways so sorry for trying to help out the poor sap that gets stuck with an underrated player.

Pedroia's top SB season was 26. Caught stealing 8 times.
Roberts' top SB season was 50. Caught stealing 7 times.
Wright's top SB season was 34. Caught stealing 5 times.
Why is Pedroia comparable to those two guys?

THATS HOW ROUNDING WORKS LOL Not when talking about baseball stats. If somebody hits .344 you don't say he had .350 season just to make it a nice number. |
