Marcell Ozuna Watch - (Update: Traded to Cards Pg. 13)

[Big Amoco Sign]

Fun with small sample sizes! BvP data is rarely significant, despite what Tony LaRussa would like us to believe.

Agreed, but if a batter has lots of HRs against you, for example, I think that's telling. Solid contact in even 15-20 ABs means you see the pitches well.

Ole Bob finally got one right.

It means you hit the pitches well. There's very little evidence that it's predictive at all.

that's just NL, but yeah...pretty damn good.

Yelich is #2 in NL, Ozuna, # 3 in NL, and Stanton is #2 in AL

if the marlins had held onto all 3, then in the entire MLB, they'd have #3 (stanton), #6 (yelich), and #9 (ozuna)...crazy

the thread mentioning how good our outfield in STL will be next year? what about MIA last year...

Miami had the #10 offense last year. They were a force offensively and that was with a few significant holes. If they had the funding, they really could've been a team with young talent and a great core. The tragic passing of Jose Fernandez hurt them a lot, or this could've been a true playoff team core.

Of course, new ownership just tore it down for bread crumbs, but still.

What is Wheeler using? Among NL OF's I see the Cardinals have 3 of top 17, Dodgers 3 of top 18, Pirates 3 of the top 20, Mets/Phillies 2 of the top 20.
