He really is probably the worst player there is
I really think it is the protection if that is a real thing. The better the collective talent the more they hit. I think Farid and Ova would have done a lot worse had they not been sandwiched by all stars
I think thats a thing. Geeves struggled with Ruiz hitting behind him(who was also struggling). However, when I put Prophet behind him when Prophet got healthy over the last few weeks, Geeves hit like a mad man. Also, with Geeves hitting behind Chavez, Chavez had possibly the best hitting season in the SL.
Then again, you could say, "Well with their ratings, they should hit!"...so I dunno

Well I've always viewed that as the reason for my success. I've had guys similar to Hack who came in and struggled when I didn't have the lineup set like this. Hell sauce, juarez, haamid, half of the new guys struggled when they came up when I went through that "restock" phase.

THANK YOU Dermott McHeshi
I don't think it is. I do think that hitting the guy where they want matters a lot. McHeshi as a lead off guy was OK this year but when I put him into the 'middle of the order' his OPS was probably about 1.000. He was probably about a .800 OPS hitting lead off.
I had that with Madison it seemed, but not Helga. So who knows.
Proof?

Key worth gone after this year. Had to grab a pitcher somehow at a reasonable price. With LV and FB filling holes the well dried up and the lone horse staring me in the face was the pipeline to Amsterdam.
Young Willie will come into camp slotted as CF if he can knock a 250avg/350 then this worked wondrously.

Yes but I don't really think that strategy saves runs. I also think it increases pitch counts.

You can pitch around stars if they don't have protection. Protection forces stars to be pitched to.

THANK YOU Dermott McHeshi
I don't agree. I think anytime you give someone basically a free base it's a worse strategy than just pitching to them (unless it's a high leverage situation).
It's a monster win for him IMO. Gets a SP that is equal in terms of WAR (who knows what SP WAR means, but Schmidtt is good anyway) and is 23, and a 22 year old CF. Great trade, I'm just stacked at OF so Wilder's only worth to me is as a swing piece.
This is what I meant, I called it protection but I'm not really sure what the right term is. Where the collective talent of your lineup brings the worst (but still good) guys up a notch.

It helps because no one is getting "pitched around". If no one is getting "pitched around". You get more pitches to hit cuz pitchers are attacking you instead of pitching around you.
If the lineup isn't deep then 1/5 of your abs are gonna be situations where you are getting pitched around and really not getting anything to hit.. it has an effect

That I don't know
So I get the point you are making, but I don't think it's relevant to what I was saying.

Going to guesstimate that it is more heavily toward stats with a bit of ratings sprinkled in for good measure.
Needed to clear budget for Rat.
It's similar to the @jdlikewhoa-myself deal when he wanted money for Bug and I got Artac and Beanpole from him.

Use vajorov as an example.. he hit .315ish in weak lineup his last yr in key west.. then hits .340 in a better lineup with Kabul.. guessing he had a lot more situations with key west where he could be pitched around.. that in itself improved his numbers because in kabuls deeper lineup.. you couldnt pitch around him and had to attack him. Apply same premise to every player
He did have about 130 more PA in Kabul in only 10 more games
I still don't think you are getting it. Vaj is a good hitter regardless and using one year doesn't work for me.

For any player.. getting less abs where you are getting pitched around will equal better numbers..
These guys I'm talking about aren't getting pitched around regardless. Getting pitched around doesn't equal worse numbers either. The OBP should be higher.
More PA tho, do BBs count towards PA? Could have had more actual walks instead of intentional.
With more PAs
What takes away from PA? He had 135 in 11 more games, so why is that? Being genuine btw, I don't know
Yes, all count towards PAs. They don't count towards ABs.
Less walks, more hits and batting lead off.
