Leads our league in SLG, I would normally say this is maybe a short sample size but he's over 1000 ML career AB's and has a .300 BA and a .600 SLG.  So whats the deal here, screw contact and splits, just find a good eye and some power?

Interesting... that makes me feel better about this guy that I drafted a couple of seasons ago.

The result will vary from world to world.   But his 50ish splits are acceptable with that much power/eye.

Good thing they nerfed that kind of player... oh, wait.

He should not be a .300 hitter, no matter how bad the pitching is in that world.

I thought the same thing.  Was expecting .260-ish.  Strange.

Also you're living with 3 Ks for every 10 at-bats, if that matters to you.

It's just a different way of making an out.  I could care less how much a guy K's if he produces runs and changes the scoreboard.  Not everyone can be an Albert Pujols.

Obviously doesn't matter to you.  When he Ks with a guy on 3rd and 1 out it might, though.

Offensively speaking, K's are non-productive outs.

Productive outs aren't very productive either.

Even .260 "should" be too high, really. That's towards the upper end of the range for a TTO player like that. Jack Cust's career BA is .244. Rob Deer's was .220.

HBD vs RL, blah blah blah. It still bugs me.

Bad splits... pretty big problems

Even with just one bad split like Ennis or Morris, it makes a hell of a difference.

He really only has one bad split, and even though he's having a massive year this year, it has definitely hampered him for his career.  If he had a decent vR, he'd be a total beast, but as it is, this is only the 2nd year in his career he has an OPS over .900.
