I know there's no empirical evidence he keeps being this good but, ya know, just DAMN.
Speaking of being good, I noticed something tonight and posted it over on Wilner's blog but then figured, why not give it a higher profile 'cause it's just, ya know, cool and stuff.
It's a fun stat, even despite their relative ages.
If you double Adam Lind’s at-bats, he falls just three short of the total Evan Longoria has, so let’s do that and see what kind of comparison we have:
AL: .302 - .337 - .545 - .882 — 22-8-18-70
EL: .278 - .352 - .533 - .885 — 27-2-22-71
Tell me that's not some cool shit...

It's gonna suck when Lind hits the inevitable slump, er, cools off a bit. Be nice if there was another solid bat around to pick up the slack (Messrs. Wells and Rios, I'm talking about you)
adam lind is also 2+ years older and had 2 seasons worth of aaa/mlb experience...so while the comparison is exciting, it has very little predictive value in terms of trying to project their careers.

I refer you to the following comment which immediately preceded the stats:

I don't believe I implied any predictive value.

hey! a second consecutive "these numbers look pretty good pro-rated" post. how insightful. I mean, "fun".
shame you can't just take the best week each Jay puts up and multiply it by 20.
