WHAT IT MEANS

Probably not much.  It's winter ball.  The competition is uneven and the playing time is often sporadic.  The highest number of at-bats for anyone listed is 205, and most of them had less than a hundred.  Still, it's fun to follow and interesting to look at.  For me, anyway.

    1. Yeah, but you forgot one more part of his slash line, special only for him: 1.321 GSF (Gardy Swoon Factor)

            2. now, that could be a fun league. You'd have to set a minimum ZIPS forecast or summat for each roster

  3. For as happy as it makes me to see Florimon and Mastroianni managed to be average, I'm pretty saddened by Hicks and Dozier being bad.

    And it's good to have confirmation that Drew Butera sucks on multiple continents. Let's send him to Antarctica for a year or two, just to be sure.

    Thanks for tracking all this and putting up the posts, Jeff!

    1. Hicks was bad... in 54 ABs. Dozier sucked it up in an even fewer 24 ABs. I'm not too worried. Hicks had a solid OBP, it was just contact and power that he struggled with in short, possibly sporadic time.

      1. Yeah, I'm not really concerned by their numbers here. Those were the two names on the bad list that surprised me, is all. I do expect Hicks to play decently once he gets his shot at the majors, and Dozier looks to be at least serviceable.
