Cubs Waiver Deal Primer

I think Kosuke's numbers after April, do plummet. His numbers are horrible.

No they aren't. They aren't AT ALL.

Yes they are, they are AT ALL. It isn't an efficient way to score runs. It costs the team outs.

That is not true. In April/March, he over a 1.000 OPS. In May, a .778, which is still better than league average. June, his 2nd worst month, he OPS's .614. July, he OPS's .783. In August, he has a .721 OPS, which is very weighted by his 2008 which he OPS'd under 600, whereas last year, he OPS'd over .900. In Sept./October, he OPS's an abysmal .611.

His numbers drop off, but they don't plummet. He is still a very useful player.

Carl Crawford and the Rays beg to differ.

Carl Crawford and the Rays beg to differ.

I'm not saying that you should never steal. Carl Crawford is a good basestealer. Hell, he's already worth a win with his legs. But, it's not something that every player should do. Most players are shitty base stealers. You should only steal in the right scenario.
