History is no indicator in that playoffs expanded from 2 teams to 12 over time. Also this new schedule will lead to a team winning a division with a below .500 record at some point. This would happen often in football if 35% of the games were not inside the division. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kids Can Play Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 1 hour ago, South Side Hit Men said: I consider slugging percentage the best indication of power (HRs are important but 2Bs and 3Bs are as well). Overall: 18th in The MLB Right Field an issue as well. The White Sox are leaders at two positions, mid level at three, and bottom five at four positions. 17th Catcher 18th First Base 29th Second Base 29th Shortstop 1st Third Base 26th Right Field 2nd Center Field 27th Left Field 17th Designated Hitter - 29th at SS is really sad especially since we have a player at that position who used to have some power. TA currently is at his all-time lowest SLG% at .307. Back in 2019 when TA win the batting title he had 18 HR's and 32 2B's for a .508 SLG%. In 2020 the pandemic shortened season, when he finished second for the batting title and hit 10 HR's 11 2B's 1 3B in 49 games for an even higher .529 SLG%. If he could produce those similar numbers this year, only Robert, Moncada and Burger have a higher SLG% than TA had in either 2019 or 2020. - 18th is sad at First Base. Vaughn needs to get back to that hot hitter. I know we've discussed it a lot in here, that maybe Vaughn might not be more than a 20-25 HR hitter, but I think we all figured he would be at least a strong Doubles/RBI's guy. - 17th at DH is also bad! Without even looking up the numbers, I know DH is probably one of the highest SLG for most teams at DH. I know Eloy was starting to get hot right before the IL stint and hopefully when he gets back to that power hitter again. - We have sucked at SLG% in left and right field for a long time now! That's on Rick Hahn's ineptness struggling to acquire power at those two positions. - Great job to Moncada, Burger Robert. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has mostly dominated them. They did get to him once last year for 6 runs and once in 2019 for 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
