Was The Jason Bartlett Trade A Big Mistake?

Three Fanshots in a row? ... Oh, why not?

The Jason Bartlett trade, though maybe not the finest this organization has every made, was still a considerable success -- both for this season and future years.

Here's something you also didn't factor in for the Rays benefit

Bartlett would have been a FA after this year. But MLBTR has him as being below the Type-B FA level, meaning the Rays would’ve been left with nothing, instead they received the 4 players you mentioned. A bonus point for the FO.

I put the screw IN THE TUNA!

Fangraphs > teams > SS > advanced

Sometimes their data gets funky with the position eligibility and such, but I think 1.7 is accurate.

If you combine Srod, Briggys, and EJs WAR it comes out to 1.7, but a lot of Srods PAs didn't come as a SS.

I think if you were able to look at the production of only the times when those players were actually at SS the WAR would go down a decent amount.

Correct, Rays had 596 PA< 881 that FG is showing

Also SRod largely receving credit for 2B defense which is superior to his SS play. It would be considerably less.

I would be willing to bet Bartlett was at least a win better then what we had at SS. Most likely more

Come back to DRB, we miss you!

I could care less about your graduate degree-I was a full professor at Harvard at 34 and am a full professor at Columbia now in a theoretical field whose main tool is statistical mechanics. So can can come down from your high place.
