What A Mess!

I know that many here aren’t big fans of WPA but sometimes it can tell us a lot. Yesterday, for example, Rick Ankiel’s WPA was minus .342. Is there any doubt that his 0-6 w/ 2 K day played a big part in the Cards’ loss? For the year his WPA is minus 0.80 – easily worst on the team. Does that surprise anyone? His OBP is .273, his SLG is .231 and his wOBA is .241. So what’s the problem?
