You can't just cherrypick like that. "I think that Schrodinger's (too lazy to spell right) Cat is an interesting theory. I think that human trafficing is fine." Well, aside from the second point, what's wrong with what was said? (obvious exaggeration is obvious)

3.58 FIP is not that good.

True.

True.

I don't think anyone was going to give up so f***ing much.

J.P.'s .202 ISO isn't 'a ton' of power.

Bite me lol.

 

.202 is pretty good power and his .249 ISO this year is even better

He's aided by a 21.8% HR/FB, which should regress quite a bit.

It's increased every year he's been in the league.

It went up .4. And then it went up 1.8. And now you're expecting it to jump up 5.3%? Are you really sure that's sustainable?

[GD]

It's not sustainable, but jumps like that can and do happen (Bautista, Encarnacion). The problem is, even with his good power, he still is s*****.

 

Jumps like that happen to people who can actually play the game of baseball with a reasonable amount of skill.

It's his third year so I wouldn't be surprised if a significant jump occured considering is line drive rate is way up - but I wouldn't count on it.

I don't think Arencibia has the raw power to command a 20% HR/FB rate.

That's not a long list of guys.

I liked that graph you have some big names coupled with some scrubs in there but those numbers are career averages you posted. Josh Phelps managed it three years in a row and Manny topped 30% one year.

 

A 20% rate over a career is pretty impressive.
