He only had 2 decent ML seasons.

Is it because he has a low batting eye, tends to hit flyballs and no power?  I was hoping his 72 contact and 80 v. Righties and lefties would help trump that.

Can you link the payer?  I can't tell what ratings are what in the above post.

Over a full career, i'd expect an OPS closer to .710 - .720, but with 1400 career AB's, that's less than 3 full seasons. Could be that I am not giving enough weight to impact of Eye on AVG, or could be he's been a bit unlucky in a relatively brief ML career.

Slow, poor eye, no power.   Imagine a fat guy who swings at everything.

Base running sucks too.

and he's ugly

While the topic is fresh on your mind... Id like to present this fella as well;

Hardball Dynasty – Fantasy Baseball Sim Games - Player Profile: Jeremi Drabek

   He's been pitiful this year, and his career stats are nothing spectacular.268 avg, .336 obp.  Ive contemplated trading him, but not sure if I should give him more time to redeem himself.

I'd give him more than 69 AB to determine if he sucks.
1/11/2011 8:47 AM
His career line is probably pretty close to what you should expect. And while that may not be "spectacular", he appears to be in the top 3 in RC for that team every year.

That's solid production at an outfield corner.  47 homers a season over 4 seasons doesn't suck.  Wait out his slump.
1/11/2011 2:06 PM
I would say that his limited at bats at the ML level have impacted his ML production.  It seems when given the everyday job he has produced much more than as a pinch hitter or bench player.  Could be he is a great minor league player but an average ML player.
