Comments on: What to Make of Renteria http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/index.php/what-to-make-of-renteria/ Daily baseball statistical analysis and commentary Sun, 12 Feb 2012 23:34:21 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Chris http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/index.php/what-to-make-of-renteria/#comment-37468 Chris Wed, 16 Jul 2008 14:55:16 +0000 http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/index.php/what-to-make-of-renteria/#comment-37468 Theres an article written in one of the Hardball Times Annuals or baseball prospectus "Between the Numbers" that talks about modeling out consistency for players. Renteria was one of the most inconsistent players out there posting huge swings in performance. I remember Jimmy Rollins and Alex Rodriguez being on the opposite ends of the spectrum This reaffirm by a quick glance at Renteria's OPS season by season over his career compared to Rollin's over his career.

He could essentially end up as a one year rental posting an OPS 100 points below what was expected, and what was expected was already well below his 2007 OPS.

That alone is worth more than Renteria by a landslide. Very very poor trade. Jair Jurrjens has half a year of service time, and has provided 111 innings of 3.54 FIP pitching.
