I guess the disconnect is that I don’t think just being a 30/30 2B/HR guy is that valuable if he’s bringing nothing else to the table (he’s also only cracked 30 doubles once).We can agree to disagree I guess, but "wildly inconsistent" isn't accurate. Pull the 122 AB from the 2020 season and you have a pretty consistent player regardless if you like the numbers or not. You're looking at slightly better numbers than I gave you. You're talking about a 30 HR/30 2B hitter and an OFer that will be towards the top of the league in assists. He did have more errors in Fenway's RF than any other time in his career, but I wouldn't put too much stock into that. Fenway's RF is notoriously tricky.
Fangraphs isn't any more reliable than BR when it comes to WAR.
In 5 seasons accumulating over 2000 AB, Amed has an OPS+ over 100(101) once. I guess it's what you value and I'll take Renfroe's offensive profile everyday of the week over Amed's and it's not even close. To each his own I guess.
He’s rated out as well below average in the field every year but one.
I’m just not that interested in guys who don’t walk, make contact at a high rate, or defend at a high-level. He’s a one trick pony.
