We at Pinstripe Alley spend a lot of time defending Giancarlo Stanton, probably because the hate he gets relative to his production - 4.2 fWAR and a 127 wRC+ in 705 PA - isn’t really proportional. At the same time, even we have to admit that those numbers are a far cry from Stanton’s MVP 2017 season, and that they come with even more worrying peripheral numbers.
Commenter bkalish18 did a magnificent job of listing those numbers in a rebuttal to Tyler’s defense of Stanton a couple weeks back, so I’m just going to post an excerpt from that comment here.
