I just don't get it.
Look at these comps and tell me what I'm doing wrong....
Ryan Garko vs.
Victor Sojo Garko better in EVERY batting category, and speed, but worse in avg/obp/slg (also
Bryan Kraemer)
Al Vargas vs.
Vin Lennon, yes I get that Lennon will have a higher slg, but Vargas should have a higher avg/obp because of his significantly better contact right?
Garko in particular bothers me.
These are his RH splits (AVG/OBP/SLG/OPS)
S25: .233/.314/.435/.749
S26: .238/.309/.390/.699
S27: .228/.304/.373/.676
S28: .189/.262/.346/.609
S29: .229/.279/.313/.592
Career: .221/.294/.376/.671
Granted those don't show his HBP (when doing splits, it won't HBP by RH vs LH). He has been hit by pitches 18,17,21,22,10 (S25-S29, respectively) times, multiply that by 67% (roughly the amount of RH pitchers, and then added to his OBP), I get
S25: .233/.336/.435/.771
S26: .238/.327/.390/.718
S27: .228/.324/.373/.697
S28: .189/.286/.346/.632
S29: .229/.311/.313/.623
Career: .221/.316/.376/.693
Which is worse than this guys' total stats
Oleg Durham. I mean there are SS with better numbers than those. I know his split is on the weak side, but I thought you could compensate with contact/power/speed/eye (which he has).
