Is his BAPIP or something doing better or is Travis a bust as a prospect?

If that is a keeper league I would gladly give them Snider and Street (health prognosis unknown) for Smoak (and I like Snider, but Smoak is a much better hitter and has the advantage of being a switch hitter)91OSUAlum wrote:So sounds like I need to ride that train a little longer. Thinking of moving Randy Ruiz to try and get Smoak...They wanted Snider and Street.
This is off-topic, but is there a place to find this league-wide average data? It'd be interesting to look at. %GB for hits would have a lot to do with a player's speed, too. It would be a useful tool to break this all down into a player's expected hits and their actual hits, to find guys like Snider that are just having bad luck. Much more useful than looking at BABIP, especially for guys who pop up a lot/don't get many line drives or vice versa.Todd Zola wrote: He has 10 line drives. On the average 75% of LD go for hits. That should be 7 or 8 hits.
He has 14 fly balls. On the average 20% go for hits. That is 2 or 3. He has 2 HR so that is on target.
He has 18 grounders. On the average, 25% of GB go for hits. That should be 4 or 5.
All totaled, using average outcome of batted balls, he should have 15 hits or a .268 BA.
Only thing I'd say is that L/G/F rates tend to stabilize over time, which means that if you're looking at BABIP over a period of time, it will tell you as much about the player as the LGF stuff would.Skin Blues wrote:This is off-topic, but is there a place to find this league-wide average data?
