Am I the only one who doesn't get why Robinson is treated like the worst thing ever on here?
He has a .338 OBP this year. Don't get me wrong, he's bad, but people act like he's the worst player ever.

Not that I completely agree with the ones acting that way, but after riding a very high BABIP to start the year, he has hit .220/.281/.341 since June began and that is with a .300 BABIP to his name. He certainly brings defense to the outfield and it's pretty darn good defense at that, but he rode a .467 BABIP in April and May to produce and over the last two months it has been normal and well, he has been awful at the plate.
You're not alone 44. Obviously he's not the savior or anything, but he's certainly not the worst thing I've ever seen swing a bat or field a ball.
Of course, I mostly go by the way he looks and moves on the diamond as well as his baseball intentions as opposed to stats so keep quiet most of the time.
Everything that can be counted does not necessarily count; everything that counts cannot necessarily be counted.
