MLB GENIUS HQ – Luis Arraez has won three straight batting titles. For the third straight season he has gotten at least 200 hits and is the only player to win the batting crown with three different teams, all in the last three seasons. In over 2,800 plate appearances Arraez has struck out a total of 194 times.
After all he has accomplished, Arraez simply “sucks.” That is what has been put out there by these ANALytical morons who are in charge of the game today. These so-called experts claim Arraez doesn’t score enough runs, doesn’t drive in enough runs, doesn’t steal bases, doesn’t hit for power, and doesn’t field his position like a Gold Glover. Once Upon a Time the same was said about Hall of Famer Wade Boggs.
These Strat-O-Matic geeks have done everything in their power to portray Arraez as a scrub. We should be glad that they weren’t around when Hall of Famers Rod Carew and Tony Gwynn were spraying hits all over the place.
NOTE: Management could not find a nerdier pairing than these two:
All Arraez does is get hits. This upcoming season will mark Arraez’s 7th in the majors, and he will need 153 hits to give him 1,000 for his career. He turns 28 years old in April.
At this rate the player who’s nicknamed, Le Regadera is on the path for 3,000 hits. One of the idiotic things that these idiots, (who just stare into their computers), came up with was that Arraez doesn’t produce enough base on balls. That’s because all he does is get on base by hitting the ball safely. In 2003 he had three 5 hit games in the month of June, which put him in the company of HOFers, Ty, Cobb, George Sisler, and Dave Winfield, who did the same in one month.
The decision makers up in Da Bronx are stalling in their effort to put Arraez, who’s on the trade block by the Padres, in pinstripes. What better hitter do they want to bat in front of Aaron Judge? Do they even know that the season Judge blasted 62 homers, 42 of them were solo?
In the meantime, the man with the nickname that translates into, The Sprinkler for his talent of spraying the ball to left, center, and right field, will keep doing just that, while these ANALytical morons spray their own piss all over their pants.
