Congrats to Carlos. Well deserved.

The writeups are well worth the time to read. From the writeup on Carlos:

 

In 2013, Gomez robbed five home runs as they were going over the fence, the highest single-season total since Baseball Info Solutions began tracking this ten years ago. No one else had more than two in 2013. Those home run robberies accounted for eight Defensive Runs Saved.

Pulling in homeruns maybe too rare of an event to find reliable trends, but 5 really is an incredible number for a season. Crediting him with 8 runs saved on those plays alone almost seems conservative.

Kudos well deserve

The Gospel reading for today is from the 2nd book of Rawlings, chapter 27, beginning with the 5th verse:

 

"And thus sayeth Carlos,

Thou shalt not hit home runs over me.

For I shall smite those orbs into the

basket now made of gold."

 

Here endeth the lesson.

Now we will have to start accounting for the height of fences so that the leftfielders at Green Monster aren't getting screwed by this stat.

Let's keep this thread from devolving into another re-hashing of organization-building philosophies... if anyone feels compelled to continue that discussion, I'm sure there are several threads that can be bumped to do so
