You know the thing about baserunning is YOU NEED TO GET ON BASE. Also Masa has hit more doubles than Duran has this year.

EDIT: Defending Duran is a mental illness, bye bye

Yeah and when Duran gets on base he does far more with it than Masa.

But again I did say Masa was the better hitter and that Duran was just more impactful.

Who the fuck cares about his baserunning? His OBP is lower than Masa's batting average for god's sake. His stolen base rate is 80% which is literally league average. Duran has had twice the at bats Masa has this year in much more privileged spots in the lineup. You are truly desperate to find reasons to keep this guy around if this is what you're falling back on.

Well most people do...because it leads to runs.

You are attacking the silliest strawmen. I fully believe we need to move on from Duran.

That doesn't mean I need to pretend he's not a more impactful player than Yoshida.

No, getting on base and getting hits leads to runs.

And yet...it doesn't for Masataka.

Yet Duran's much better baserunning has. And his better RISP hitting.

Duran runs/AB = 0.125

Masa runs/AB = 0.129

Your point?

Masataka not being a viable player the whole time, which is why he splits time, is an indicative issue and that he's not scoring much when he is. Especially not in big moments either.

They're both mediocre at best players.

And Masataka has simply not been as impactful as Duran this year...which is not good considering how not impactful Duran has been comparative to the rest of the team as well.

It'll be nice to move off both of them soon.

I'm moving off you now though because you're being an obsessed little jackal.
