Crisp played in the best hitter’s park in baseball, and had 90 more ABs than Nady. So comparing hits, doubles, triples is completely meaningless and just undermines your credibility.

Their BA was within .002 (Nady’s marginally higher), their OBP was identical, and Nady’s SLG was 90 points higher.

And I’ll say it again:

Crisp played in the most hitter-friendly park in baseball

Nady’s offense is way better than Crisp’s, he plays corner OF and 1B, which is what the Mets need – we have 2 better defensive CFers than Crisp already – and he’s much more likely to accept the amount of time the club would ask either to sit on the bench.

In other words, Nady would be a vastly better fit for this club.

As a point of reference illustrating how the game has changed, Sandy Koufax, in his last year and with an arthritic elbow that forced him out of baseball pitched 323 innings with 27 complete games. His ERA+ was 190 and his WHIP was 0.985. He struck out 317 batters and won the Cy Young..

Advanced stats don’t matter. Crisp was benched for most of the WS and was out played by a rookie.

Explain to me why we want him when we already have one of the best benches in the majors?

looking at last year’s stats. nady had mre hr’s, but only 12 more rbi. in every other category including defense crisp is better.

nady is okay. i’d be happy to have him back, but it will require a lot more than pagan. if it was pagan for nady. i’d do it in a heart beat. not gonna happen
