And how are his 20 or so at-bats in these situations remotely
meaningful?

He's hit better of late - then again, even Luis Sojo and Enrique Wilson
had random 20 at-bat stretches of greatness. It means little.

Sure. Stinnett's hits have been meaningless. Maybe you should think

That's not what he said. The hits may have helped the team. They just
don't indicate anything about his ability, especially about his "clutch"
ability.

before you drink. Most Yankees only have 30-50 ABs with runners on.
This isn't October you know.


And 30-50 at-bats doesn't mean anything either for the purposes Tom was
discussing. 300-500 at-bats in "clutch" situations doesn't mean
significantly much either, for predictive purposes.

Do you relieve believe, based on 20-or-so at-bats, that Stinnett is a
good hitter with runners on base, or against lefties? That's just absurd.

Tom Glavine is hitting .750/.857/1.000/1.857 with runners on base this
season. He should be the MVP.
