I hope he hits a ton, he could easily be a .400 hitter and 200 RBI guy I think!1) Um, nope-- not in C Springs, anyway. I have him in a neutral park at .320/.390/.600. I don't think anyone can hit .400 in HBD except in case of massive fluke. In the right offense, in the right park, he could get 200 RBI. 2) But screw the "best IFA ever" stuff-- given that he can play 2B he may the best position player I've ever seen, full stop. Worth every penny of the $30M and then some. This is a max contract guy that you're going to get to control through his age 35 season paying peanuts for the first 5 seasons and probably no more than half a max contract for the other 6. Well done.I just looked at career batting average records in all eight of my Worlds. There were two guys that had a career .360 batting average. Both played in hitters parks. Both players had better pure hitting ratings than the 25 year old IFA subject. Bill Hall had a rating of 100 in both splits and 90+ in both contact and eye and never got over the .400 avg in a single season. Yamil had less impressive ratings, but was a switch hitter and he never hit over .400 in a single season either. I think if you had a guy that was 95+ across the board in pure hitting ratings, 95+ speed, batted from both sides and played his entire career in Colorado, Sante Fe or Albuequerque, it MIGHT be possible to get a guy over 400 batting average in a handful of seasons. However, I would bet that even a guy like that would still be a .375 hitter over his career because he'll likely play big league ball past the age of 37 and those final few seasons will hurt his career average. Also, speed will wane on the avg as well once that starts slipping.

Still wonder if this was steroid era performance or if these ratings hold up in today's HBD.

Posted by brianp87 on 1/26/2021 4:18:00 PM (view original):I think it was inflated ratings so Id think it would effect all stats. I think I saw a pitcher who was doing like 300 + innings of like 1.00 whip
