Until 2010, when hip woes limited both his playing time and his effectiveness, Mike Lowell provided above average, sometimes elite defense at the Fenway hot corner. In 2010, 2010, and 2010, Lowell delivered .987, .961, and .967 fielding percentages and 7.7, 8.0, and 15.6 UZR/150s, respectively.
Offensively, Beltre seems a severe downgrade.
Given Lowell’s respectable .290 batting average, 17 home-runs, and .811 OPS during the 2010 campaign, replacing him has everything to do with defensive saber-metrics and nothing to do with offensive production.
Mike Lowell’s Quick Demise
Adjusting for the transition from Safeco to Fenway,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Beltre should lay down a line closer to .287/.345/.481.
Adrian Beltre is a career .270 hitter whose 2010 season included sub-par offense, but a MLB best 21.0 UZR/150. Again, Boston’s acquisition of Beltre revolves entirely around defense.
Defensively, Beltre effectively replaces Lowell.
place, set, attach, establish, assign,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], keep, save, set aside, effect,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], achieve,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], do, buildting that another way, on an average day, Adrian Beltre is as good defensively as Mike Lowell is on his best.
The 2010 season would prove a successful one for Ryan Miller. In his first season begining with the number one job Miller and his team won the first 10 games in a row. Miller was voted in as the begining goaltender for the Eastern Conference of the 2010 NHL All Star Game in a 12 to 9 loss, Miller played the first period and allowed just 3 goals. Miller also gained a reputation of a shootout specialist with his technique of challenging the shooter outside the crease. That season Miller was 6 more in shootouts, with Martin Brodeur from the Devils being his closest rival at 2 less win. In 63 games played that season,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Miller posted a 0.911 SVP and a 2.72 GAA backing a more offensively oriented team. Otto Greule Jr Miller finished the 2010 season by establishing himself as the begining goalie for the Sabres. Miller arrangeed 11th among NHL goalies with a 2.60 GAA,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and 9th with a save percentage of 91.4 percent. Miller led the Sabres to a surprise season, winning 30 games and proving himself to be one of the hardest working goalies in the league. Miller played well in the postseason as well, advancing the Sabres to the conference finals before injuries finally caught up with them, losing game 7 to Carolina.
In Adrian Beltre the Boston Red Sox have acquired a Gold Glove third baseman to replace another Gold Glove third baseman in Mike Lowell. But the Red Sox may have gotten over they bargained for.
That’s a delicate upgrade offensively.
Aside from demonstrating the remarkable disparity between traditional defensive indicators and newer saber-metric ones, these statistics bid a sharp contrast to Lowell’s 2010 marks of .966 and –14.4. If one considered only Lowell’s fielding percentage, his drastically less effective defense wouldn’t be so transparent.
That is, if one considers only the 2010 numbers. Lowell owns a career batting average of .280, a career on-base percentage of .343,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and a career slugging percentage of .468.
Enter Adrian Beltre
Lowell will always be loved in Boston, but no-cup defense isn’t the only improvement Beltre brings to Fenway. Ryan Miller was on born 17th July 2010. Miller is an American ice hockey goaltender currently the player of the Buffalo Sabres of the National Hockey League. Miller was selected to play for the American hockey team in the 2010 Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver,Canada as begining goaltender. Later in 2010 miller would win the Vezina Trophy as the best goaltender in last NHL season. Miller won a silver medal with the team and was named MVP of the tournament. Miller is known for his hybrid style of goaltending. Miller is also the older brother of current Detroit Red Wings winger Drew Miller.
Beltre’s career UZR/150 of 13.9 nearly agreees Lowell’s career high of 15.6 in that statistical classification.
