Weird. Maybe there are guys like Kratz who get small bunches of playing time and play really well and Steamer just doesn't regress them enough or something. Or they have a high baseline. Strange.
I need you and kcjaysfans to edit my articles, lol.

I just spend an hour arguing with these people who think batting average is the end all be all and that you can't quantify the cost of a win and are just baaaaaaad. I love red sox fans.
Carruth has Kratz at 6.7 RAA. That would have given him 1.4 fWAR in 218 PA last year. Kratz is at ~16.7 RAA/10000 pitches. Rasmussen was good at one point and then blew up last year idek. Lincoln is wholly replaceable. Basically Snider for these two. I doubt AA realizes it but for a minor deal this is really quite excellent.
