Giants v Pirates

[packs]

Crawford is good but there's no way he's better than Andrelton Simmons with the glove.

2010-2012-

2014?

if peavy remains hot and makes up for the fact that they cant start bumgarner 2 times in the NLDS, hudson can be a solid #3, and the bullpen shuts down the late innings, why not?

I have to agree...Crawford may be very good and has a history of clutch hitting, but he can't match Simmons defensively. Even though, this past season was not nearly as good as 2013 when he set the ALL-TIME dWAR record for ANY position, he's still the best.

I'm pulling for Huddie - he was born right here in Columbus, GA

All biases acknowledged. Thanks to the stat man Bill Gregory, I now know where to find clutch hitting stats on baseball reference (thanks Bill). Crawford notably better than his averaged in several of the clutch categories... Nice when just "seeing" a player day in and day out jibes with these advanced numbers.

Simmons is a total stud and his arm is ridiculous, no arguments there.
