Just comparing stats, McCutchen ate Yadi's lunch that season.
Now that Cutch is moving to AT&T maybe Yadi will beat him in HR totals.

Dont let your hate get in the way of common sense.
McCutchen had more hits, HRs, RBI, Steals, Walks and a better OPS in 2013.
I noticed Yadi only played 136 games. Maybe if that pussy could commit to an entire season he'd get an MVP.
I guess he is tired of winning platinum gloves and wants to give others a chance
He's actually a really good catcher. Defensively speaking of course.Well@Hauler just got word that Yadi will retire after his contract is up. I know you will be heartbroken
So 3 more seasons?
Looks like it. To me he is 1st ballot HOFer but what is the word outside of a Cards fan?
He might get in on his defense.
Offensively his stats don't jump out at you, so I'd say definitely not a 1st ballot guy.
He is the same as Votto IMO. Under appreciated at what they actually do for the team
I threw in votto ad a peace offering so we are good.
4 of the first 5 platinum gloves is crazy impressive.
If Yadi plays 3 more seasons he might - might - get to 2000 hits. Eh
And I might be a a bad judge on his actual chances because I appreciate the defensive importance of a catcher. In today's game it's all about bombs and strikeouts.

None of that applies to him. He is the Ozzie Smith of this generation. Deal with it
Can he do a back flip?
4 platinum gloves says he can. Thats defensive wizardry right there
Nah. I think Yadi is good enough to be in the majors. He hits for a decent average for a catcher.
If Ozzie is coming up in today's game, he doesn't make it beyond Double A.
Hey Skip, we got this crazy talented SS with great range and a crazy glove.
Oh yeah? What's he hitting?
.237
Fuck em.
Sometimes he does back flips when he runs onto the field at the beginning of the game.
Yeah? I guess that's pretty cool.
Yeah...
.237 though? What did he hit last season?
.235
Fuck em.
Ozzie wasn't that bad of a hitter. What would screw him in today's game would be that he only hit about 15 homeruns in 37 seasons. Give or take.
Obviously I'm poking fun a bit.
But look at the numbers - he was a full time starter right out of the gate. He had a rookie year in 1978 that saw him hit .258 - close to what would eventually be his career average (.262). That was followed up by seasonal averages of .211, .230 and .222 - all while hitting 0 home runs. His SLG in those 3 seasons were .262, .276 and .256 - that is abysmally unproductive.
Does a young player survives three seasons in a row in today's baseball with offensive numbers like that? Even with a glove as good as his was, I doubt it.
Edit : His 4th season - the one where he had a slash of .222/.294/.256 and 0 HRs - was his 1st selection to an All Star game. Different times.

You forgot to mention at one point Ozzie was the highest paid baseball player.
Didn't even know that.
that's hilarious
