TheChrisSamsa Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 I didn't make this, but I ran across it and I thought it'd be an interesting share. It's interesting to visualize how consistently certain statistics come from certain positions. 2013 MLB Batting By Position Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheChrisSamsa Posted January 1, 2014 Author Share Posted January 1, 2014 Yeah, looks like there's probably NL DH data included. "Average of averages" probably isn't the most effective way to provide this data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Average of averages" probably isn't the most effective way to provide this data. The AL and NL splits don't show up all that different. The AL DH's have 20 points higher of OBP but similar slugging numbers, so the AL DH's have a .725 OPS, the NL is at .705. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes Dunn or Viciedo look a bit better...the days where you expected an 800+ OPS from 4-5 positions in the line-up are long gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry though, that's why we're carrying an extra one (sigh...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And somehow the Sox are loaded with raw power. Dayan, Davidson, Avi, JDA and Dunn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donny Lucy's Avocado Farm Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Puig played RF last year and he hit like 800, so he probably skewed the stats for RF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 It shows you that a good DH will be worth paying for -- of course, that will tempt you to overpay for a bad one. In the non-steroid era, teams are really struggling to figure out what to do with that spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
