Everybody say it with me "You can't stop Adam Lind! You can only hope to contain him!!"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.
