LOL. Are you trying to impress us with all that other statistical crap that no one's ever heard of? No wonder you think Boone sucks if all you're doing is looking at all of those other stats. How many starting 3B had an OPS of over .800 last year? I'm sure you'll find Boone in the top half. Not to mention the fact that probably none of them had as many stolen bases as Boone.
