A Nats Thanksgiving
I am thankful that Wilson Ramos is safe.
I am thankful that Strasburg appears to have fully recovered.
I am thankful we have the best third baseman in the league.
I am thankful the league hasn't figured out Morse yet (any DAY now......).
I am thankful that Werth used up so many miserable at-bats during a year we weren't going to contend anyway.
I am thankful for all our young pitchers.
I am thankful for the young, talented, and improving gloves and bats in the middle of our infield.
I am certainly thankful (as were we all, time and again this past season) for Clippard and for Storen.
I am thankful for an organization that finally has some depth.
I am thankful for Lerner's pocket depth. :-)
And I am thankful for Patrick and FB. Happy Thanksgiving, y'all.

That's a pretty solid CtP ratio.
Thanks all.

the counting stats are the most impressive.....can't even hazard a guess as to the *WAA+ number....
the CtP ratio can fluctuate greatly by a SSS, and only becomes useful, although not predictive, when considering the GSS!! (ginormous sample size!!) here….

I'd be interested in seeing Patrick's WARM
(Wins Above Replacement Moderator). I suspect that would be equally impressive.
