I'm more impressed with Flowers .370 month. he may return to suck but I didn't think there would be that sustained excellence over any point in his career.

I think there is a lot of indications that Steverson is having a big impact on this team.

Think he's on PED's maybe?

I dont know if he is bigger or what, but I was thinking a guy in his position getting his last chance...it would be borderline understandable

he actually looks more like Mr. Slappy from what I've seeen. Apparently his BABIP is absurd and will not last. Plus he was hurt last year which couldn't have helped. If he can hit .250 that would be a victory.

That dude would be correct.... an average BABIP is .290-.300 so it would appear that Tyler is in for some regression to to the mean

Trick question. Every time the ball leaves his bat it lands in the stands.

Abroo will adjust. He's made in game adjustments from at bat to at bat. I don't think he'll hit 60 HRs and have 180RBIs, but his numbers will be damn good.


Doesn't his .312 OBP scare you? Couldn't believe it was that low. Obviously his slugging makes his OPS awesome, but I just can't believe it's only .312.

It's certainly not ideal, but I'd rather have my slugger be great at slugging than drawing walks. I'm fine with Abreu's production so far.

Not really. He has Dunn, Ramirez, & Viceido behind him who have been pretty damn good run producers when Abreu doesn't drive them in himself. I'd worry about a 312 OBP from a leadoff guy, but I want my 3rd place hitter driving in runs.

So you think he should be hitting fourth instead?

Three hitter is usually a high BA / high OBP guy...the best "batter" in the lineup. Not necessarily the guy with the most power. More PA give him a chance to get on base more...and allow that fourth hitter more RBI opportunities by having the best 3 OBP guys on in front of him.

OPB is the more important part of OPS for all hitters.

He has hit cleanup at times this year. He obviously has been doing just fine where ever he bats in then lineup. I'd keep hitting him 3rd. I would guess that his OBP would improve as he continues to learn MLB pitching, and gets pitched around in certain situations.

Or it will go down as MLB pitching learns him.

Adjustments go both ways. Finding out who gets the best of those will take more than 2 months of a debut season.

I am willing to bet that his OBP at the end of the season is higher than .312, unless they have to amputate his ankle.


Updated (Abreu hasn't played since 5-17)
Abreu; 15HR, 42 RBI, .908 OPS, 11 doubles, 29 R, .260avg

Rizzo; 8 HR, 24 RBI, .836 OPS, 5 doubles, 31 R, .263avg

I guess no one has heard of .350 hitter Conor Gillaspie hitting third.

I'm ok with Abreu being CLEARLY SUPERIOR as opposed to FAR SUPERIOR to Rizzo.

'Let's not even compare these two' difference (aka the Jackson-Trout difference): .151 and up OPS

Abreu; 17HR, 47RBI, 31R, .265avg, .315OBP, .934 OPS (46 games)
Rizzo; 10HR, 28RBI, 33R, .267avg, .398 OBP, .755 OPS (53 games)

Abreu is plus .179 in OPS, so now its not even "far superior" its 'Let's not even compare these two' difference.

Steve Stone appears to be 100% on the money so far, bigfan.

.315 obp and 31 runs stick out. Needs to get on base more (when he's not hitting homeruns)

Plus .179 in OPS also sticks out.

I'll let the first two guys in the lineup worry about getting on base. The 3rd hitter in the lineup should be knocking in runs, which Abreu has been doing just about better than everybody in MLB this season so far.

Because the three hitter has been well-known throughout eons as the team's cleanup hitter.

Oh wait.

Because the team with a high OPS guy hitting 3rd didn't just go thru a 16 inning scoreless streak and has the worst record in baseball.

Oh wait...
