Will he improve next year? It be quite a feat for him even to maintain this year's numbers.Lloyd the Barberhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07271534213351978408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-747236263452087289.post-34252715115207130862008-10-28T13:51:00.000-04:002008-10-28T13:51:00.000-04:00Always bugged me when people complained about the OPS+ of a shortstop being less than 100. OPS+ averages across the whole league, not just the whole league's shortstops, right? It's hard to be average when you're being compared to first basemen who dosn't need the range you do.<BR/>(Also, it adds OBP+ and SLG+ and SUBTRACTS 100. It is highly stupid that they calculate it that way.)Torgenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12254724427156121537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-747236263452087289.post-63364766343472848152008-10-24T15:56:00.000-04:002008-10-24T15:56:00.000-04:00I think we'll just have to "make do" with Scoots and MacDonald for '08.

His OPS+ last year was 84, and he made $10 million. Scoots made $1.5.<BR/><BR/>Scoots and Johnny Mac at short. Wouldn't you agree that we have more pressing issues?eyebleafhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08445618400360263938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-747236263452087289.post-87266213681880465472008-10-24T08:41:00.000-04:002008-10-24T08:41:00.000-04:00Ehhhh!
