My answer is "no," Lars Nootbaar isn't overrated.
Because of a sequence of injuries that caused him to miss time, the full scope of Nootbaar's attributes get overlooked ... which is understandable. I don't blame anyone for being disappointed or exasperated over Nootbaar's absences from the lineup.
I feel the same way. The more a good player plays, the more valuable he is to his team. As is, Nootbaar brings plenty value to the Cardinals. And in my research I was surprised to see that the number of starts and innings played in the outfield over the last three seasons wasn't as bad as I thought. But no doubt, Noot's impact would be greater if he can start around 135-140 games each season.
In this video, I present the pertinent parts of my research that show us just how good Nootbaar really is when measured against other MLB outfielders ... offense, plate discipline, defense, baserunning, etc. The conclusion probably will surprise you. Thank you.
