His contract from now until it expires will be an absolute rip off. 30 million for a guy with a 0.6 WAR? Terrible.

But at least he's driving people in and hitting bombs. Could be worse. If he could put up at least decent numbers from now until he retires, I can live with that.

Is this true ... 0.6 WAR this season?

Please quit being a fucktard and trying to act so Sabermetric smart.  RISP production is how you win games. To argue otherwise is just being an ass.

It's downright pathetic that a moderator here acts the way you do, with the name calling and so on, and it's deemed okay.

Albert has been very productive this year on a very bad team and for what ever reason his WAR doesn't reflect it. It's one reason I don't put a lot of stock in it not to mention it's flawed. Not that it isn't useful because it is, WAR is just one tool in the box but the constant use of it as though it's the holy grail is nonsense imo.

I'm no WAR expert, but based on Albert's AVG, OBP, OPS, lack of extra base hits other than HRs, and DHing most of the time, one could understand him having a low WAR.

Right, I guess? Doc?

I'm not a moderator and you are a twat strutting around saying stupid shit like RISP is a false Stat.

WAR is a abomination/mockery for evaluating a players worth on a team. It's there for the fans ... I would think those in the profession stay far away from using it for evaluation purposes.

haha Mr. Grumpy pants back at it again.

Why do you always have a stick up your ass?

Calling someone a fucktard is an opinion, not a fact. 

AW is loaded with opinions, some of which we will tend to agree or not agree with.

Those that visit and post on a message board that can't enjoy some light hearted name calling should go home to their mom.

I've seen Arte called worse than a fucktard on this board... all day, everyday.

I personally like the word fucktard and wish posters would call me that on AW as often as they wish because most are just dicks anyway... See what I did there?

He was pointing out the fact that it's not a skill that a player possesses and that it's random from year to year. That's all.

Are you even capable of reading what I posted? It sure as hell doesn't look like it.

I agree with you. Fucktard is a great word.

That doesn't change the fact that Blarg always has a wiener up his butt.

That's why he's one of my favorite dicks on AW. He just can't help himself and that is what makes AW fun. We have to have fun somehow since its not happening watching the Halos this year.

Albert's legs will never be completely healthy for an entire season.  He could stand to lose 20lbs and see if it helps.  

Wish he'd do this as well.

Well yeah, Mike Trout gets on base all the damn time.

Pretty much saved Pujols' career.

His WAR reflects the stats you listed and the fact that he doesn't play defense.

But people have a fascination with RBI's.

Agree ... I never get frustrated when base runners are left stranded on base.

Blarg insults with out reading.

He also says you can't evaluate a player with out going to the stadium and watching him play every day.

And he has the nerve to call people fucktards.

Weird.

He also said our exhibition game results against the Cubs prior to this season showed they weren't very good and claimed it would have some carryover effect on the start of the season proper. That was fun.

Hypothetically.....he has (by my poor math) 165 million owing on his contract starting next year...plus the 10 year personal service deal with Arte (whatever that is).....if a contender were desperate right now for some right handed pop (almost have to be an AL team because I'm not sure he could play 1b).....How much would you eat of the 165 million to move him?...Long shot, I know and I'm not advocating it....He certainly isn't Hamilton but it would be nice to have maybe half of that money to spend on re-tooling....

$140 million remains ($26m, $27m, $28m, $29m, $30m) plus the $10m for personal services.

If he can put up 2-3 more seasons like this one (without the bad April), I would be a happy camper.

Those is the business would have a good laugh ... out of respect, your opinion is well noted.

I'd be thrilled if we could get 2/3 more of this type of season out of him too (and it may be possible so long as he DH's) but just for giggles, if somebody was desperate enough before the Sept 1st playoff roster deadline, what would you consider eating to move him?  Or would you rather just keep him?

I would be happy with that also but I'm not confident that Albert will be physically able to duplicate this season three years from now. I hope he does but I think he'll be at the end of his road health wise. Maybe he'll get healthy and fool us all but I won't be holding my breath.

Wasn't laughing at you ... the video game analogy is precious.

Laughing is good for you health ... glad I can help

Love to see that post if you can find it because I was hospitalized at the start of spring training and on some excellent drugs.
