No, but did that stop Javy?
No one can top Javy's though.
Goes without saying.
Whoa....Nate's throwing down.
Blasphemy!!
we can dream.
2015, baby!
It's probably too late but I can see it as still being worth an experiment. Why not?
Here is how Jojo answered it in another thread. I think this is the most accurate analysis of the comparison between EE and Rolen.
The key point is that Rolen at 110 games is actually worth more than EE at 150 games. So anything that the other players produce during the other 50 games, is gravy.

I think that's absurd.
if the Reds plan on replacing the injured Rolen with, oh I don't know-- Javy Pornstache comes to mind -- then that's on Rolen, just as it was on Larkin when he missed many games and his replacement was Juan the Magnificent. Juan's "production" may have been gravy on toast to you, but to me he was s+@# on a shingle.
a hole in the lineup is disastrous, especially in the NL where there's already a pitcher in the lineup.

I don't see how that's on Rolen.

counting stats really do count. you can have great percentages, but it doesn't much help if you're not actually out there.
a lot of baseball is just showing up.
2015, baby!
It's not appropriate to discount what was done when a player showed up because one doesn't think the player showed up enough.
For instance, Ben Sheets averaged 3.7 WAR/season (that's significantly above average production) as a Brewer between 2005-2008 despite only averaging 150 IP during that span.
That's not less valuable because he didn't pitch 200+ per season.

of course it is

That's an artificial construct.
