Message #6117 of 6634  *NEW* To :   Moonlight Graham From :   aavenoso   Subject :   Re: 2009 Third Base Preview Date :   2/28/09, 4:35pm Davis had a BABIP of 351, and was on pace for 178 K, so lets nip that BA upside thing right now in the bud. Also Encarnacion saw his ISO jump 66 points last year, the average dipped, but he hit 276 and 289 in the previous seasons so lets assume the 250 was the fluke and figure to give him one more chance. • Previous Topic • Next Topic • Reply to Msg #6117 • Back to Topics 5743 reads

Hi AA: I am with you here, and I have said the exact thing. The folks who have disagreed with me have made one very solid point to consider. Davis' BABIP in the minors was spot on the same, so it looks like a skill set rather than a year of luck in limited time. So, Davis is not a bad pick at all... but I am on the record saying that he is the most likely to "sophomore slump" for the very reasons you stated. >Also Encarnacion saw his ISO jump 66 points last year, the >average dipped, but he hit 276 and 289 in the previous seasons >so lets assume the 250 was the fluke and figure to give him >one more chance. Again, totally agree with you here, too. • Previous Topic • Next Topic • Reply to Msg #6120 • Back to Topics 5739 reads
