A passing grade (when I was in college) was a C or Better.

So Granderson’s performance (let’s say C) and Guillen’s performance (let’s say B) are both passing.

I try not to get too long winded, so I will sometimes be brief in my analysis.

For one, how in the heck does he organize players? For anyone trying to read these charts it’s a child’s nightmare. You’d think they’d(pitcher’s stats for example) be done by ERA or wins or IP or even alphabetically, but sadly no. Same with the hitters – there is no apparent means of organizing the data (not AB or batting average or RBI – nothing .) It’s strew out all over the place like a train wreck. Also why is saves(S) listed as category for starters and then left blank?

Finally the analysis leaves something to be desired. For example – “Guillen, Granderson, and Polanco all get passing offensive grades for the 7th inning.”

Wait… According to his data, Guillen has a slugging% 75 points higher with an OBP 67 points higher and 6 more RBIs in 10 fewer AB in this same short span. Both are given “passing offensive grades”????? UMMMMMMMMMMM…. hmmmmmmmmmmm Don’t quite comprehend that. Maybe he can explain to his audience why he thought that, because that sure as heck doesn’t seem the same type of performance to me.

Those are basically the major qualms I had. I don’t mean to bash him, I just think these errors were all too evident and should be pointed out as constructive criticism. If this is too harsh – oh well – it’s meant to be helpful.
