As bad as I've been reporting Miranda (Brignac and Vogt sample sizes really are too small, don't you think?) I didn't realize Beckham and Rhymes and Hudson were doing so poorly.<br />Nice work. Thanks. Email me the spreadsheet and I put up a "picture" the next day or so.Chris W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12266137926441160311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-502524904778687735.post-3226902543250376292012-04-24T17:59:03.036-04:002012-04-24T17:59:03.036-04:00Put another way, the average hitter is hitting 13....Put another way, the average hitter is hitting 13.9% worse than their career average.Chris Dnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-502524904778687735.post-53597232980572813292012-04-24T17:57:15.830-04:002012-04-24T17:57:15.830-04:00So being a strong believer or reversion to the mea...So being a strong believer or reversion to the mean, I was curious how OPS looked for our hitters compared to their career minor league OPS. I realize some of these folks are in AAA for the first time, and some have a small sample size, but I think based on this we might be in for a decent run going forward as nearly the entire team is playing at lower than an "expected" level.

But there doe...Why am I not feeling sorry for you? <br />But there does seem to be something deeply, deeply wrong with watching baseball dressed for a football game. A cold beer, sunglasses, shorts, scorebook in hand, that's a baseball game. <br />Good luck for the rest of the season, except, of course, May 15-18.Chris Wisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03466289321825232497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-502524904778687735.post-64279174963919096582012-04-24T11:03:14.408-04:002012-04-24T11:03:14.408-04:00It was cold and damp in Rhode Island, as well.

I though that the big picture dream for the Rays infield of the future was Beckham at 2B and Lee at SS. I assumed that Beckham was already going to be moving to 2B when Lee was ready to come up from the Biscuits, so I don't see any reason to not do it now. <br /><br />Though, it does give us something to talk about other than the results of these games ...DRRnoreply@blogger.com
