.228?

In case you haven't noticed, I've blogged quite a bit during class today. Copyright law is boring.

Anyway, I just looked at Jason's new Man crush, Chris B. Young's stats, and I have to say that I'm horrified.

Jason developed his love for Young after reading Baseball prospectus, which proves a couple of things. First off, Comack never does his own player evaluation. Second, Jason will believe whatever he reads. He's like Ron Burgandy. Whatever is on paper, he's on board. Just kidding. Kind of. Not really.

I do agree with him however, to a point. I know that his power numbers are great. They are fantastic and the kid is a good player. However, if he hits .228 for the season, I just don't see how he could keep it up. I know he's walking more, which has led to a decently respectable .343 OBP. However, I can't help but feel like the moment he stops hitting, he's going to stop drawing walks. Everyone slumps, and I feel like his slumps are going to be BAD.

As of right now, Young is creating 7.2 runs per game. However, once he starts slowing down on the home runs, which he will, I would bet a lot that those numbers shift downward towards his career average of 5.0.

Remember, good player. Not greatest player ever as Jason would have you believe.
