Tim Raines love
Did I actually go an entire year without a Tim Raines thread? Not sure… anyway, great recap from Jay.
...he broke out the next year, the beginning of a five-year plateau (1983-1987) in which he hit a cumulative .318/.406/.467, averaging 114 runs scored, 11 homers, 71 steals, and 7.7 WARP, never falling below 6.4. According to WARP, he was the major’s second-most valuable player over that span [, behind Cal Ripken.]
According to rWAR, he was fifth among nonpitchers. And fWAR has him 4th. Whichever way you look at it, he was awesome.
I still remember that May 2, 1987 game. No spring training, Saturday game of the week, and Vin Scully announcing. It was perfect, simply perfect.
