All stats from:
Wrong. He played in 161 in 2004. Perhaps a game fell by the wayside during the trade.
Correct. Renteria had 7, which isn't bad at all, especially in the WS, no one in front of him got on base (he did hit .333 in that series).
Wrong! He batted .294 with a .320 OBP with Boston. And that was in a Batter's Park (Park Factors - 106/105). Renteria hit .284 but with a .327 OBP in a Pitcher's Park (Park Factors - 97/97)
Actually both had 92 DPs last year. If you take Cabrera's DP numbers in Boston and extrapolate them over a 162 game schedule ([23 DP/57 Games] * 162 Games) you get 65.3 Double Plays. MUCH worse.
Wrong! Renteria had a .983 Fielding %, Cabrera had a .966 Fielding % in Boston and a year long FP of .978.
Ie, he played MUCH better defense in Montreal than in Boston.
Renteria had .007 higher OBP playing in a pitchers park, while Cabrera was in a hitters park.
Correct! But only when Cabrera was in Boston.
Cabrera may have had a 97 OPS+ with Boston last year, but with Montreal last year he had a 68 OPS+. The year before he had a 95 OBP+ and the year before 84 OPS+. Hardly All-Star totals.
Last year Renteria had an off year with an OPS+ of only 90. BUT in 2003, he had an OPS+ of 131 and in 2002, an OPS+ of 116.
And in WinShares (from www.hardballtimes.com), Renteria had 17 last year. Cabrera had 5 in Boston for 57 games. Extrapolating out to 162 games, that's a total of 14 for Cabrera's best streach compared to Renteria's off year.
Face it. Renteria is a better player.
