Which player would you rather have in the box?
Player A:
.259/.323/.379/.702
.6 oWAR (130 PA)
22.3% SO / 7.7 BB
Player B:
.225/.302/.357/.659
.8 oWAR (203 PA)
26.6% SO / 7.4 BB
Player A is Tristan Peters…Player B is the other center fielder in Chicago.
“Erhmmm acktually his jump was 8.2 ft/sec above average on this ball with a 1.3% catch probability. 99% of other CF’s don’t even get close to this one”
I miss old lineup construction:
1. Fastest player
2. Bat control guy (he sucks)
3. Best all-around hitter
4. Best power hitter
5. Lumbering power or bust hitter
6. High-OBP guy who leads off now
7. Bad switch hitter
8. Catcher
9. Gold Glove defender (-5 DRS, can't hit)
