I'm not sure what you're asking, are you looking for a position adjusted offensive number? You could look at oWAR by itself for that, I am pretty sure. It's listed on BBREF pages in the value area.

Tharizdun posted:If you're looking for a place to crush inefficiency, it's wasting money on Brien Tayler, Todd Van Poppel and Allan Dykstra. Brien Taylor busted out for non-baseball reasons and was a 1-1 pick, he isn't comparable to the other two. If you're looking for an actual inefficient money-wasting 1-1 pick it's Matt Bush, not Taylor.

tadashi posted:While you're here, do you remember people being down on Jacob Turner before he was traded to the Marlins in 2012? I thought most people around here thought something was very wrong with him (as demonstrated by his walking a lot of people and not striking out a lot of guys in AAA that season) but someone is trying to convince me people still thought of him as a top 20 prospect. I can't find a lot of coverage on him other than a Callis chat where he was still high on him in early June of that season. I remember some of his shine wearing off, but I can't remember why. Maybe some people were starting to realize the curveball wasn't coming around? I'll have to dig when I get home from work.

I'll have to dig when I get home from work. I asked around and it was basically what I remembered, he got rushed in that weird Detroit developmental style and turned into a fastball only guy. His fastball was/is good but not good enough.

1941 was DiMaggio's hit streak, has nothing to do with pennant winning.

Michael Corleone posted:Well, that explains it, sort of. Would've been good fodder for the talking heads. I'm not sure you quite understand the magnitude of being Joe DiMaggio and then having that hit streak? Also, he wasn't a unanimous win even with that. It's not one of the best MVP wins of all time but it is not a bad one.

Schlitzkrieg Bop posted:I'm a casual baseball fan who knows very little about the levels of play below the majors. Is there a preference for players to go to the farm systems straight out of high school or to go to college to play ball? It depends on the team. Some like to develop pitchers themselves, some like to get more complete products, some draft guys from Rice and are shocked when they get hurt and die forever. Pander posted:Generational talents - yes. Bryce Harper and Stephen Strasburg are recent examples. I'm confused, are you using Strasburg as an example of a guy who skipped college? College is where he blossomed.

The broken bones posted:Something I've wondered: what colleges are known for throwing their best pitchers under the bus and forcing them to throw 200 pitches in a college baseball game? Rice, NC State and someone else I can't remember. I'll make Mr Olives pop in he'll remember/know.

Safeco didn't kill Cano's power, it disappeared over a year ago.

You can't choose not to accept that definition. It is what people are using when they grade or talk about command.

The Reds had Tony Perez, they got plenty of homers out of their firstbaseman.
