Because K and BB rates tend to normalize over a much smaller sample than HR/FB does. Also, walk rates tend to go up when pitchers face big league talent for obvious reasons.
Where you're wrong is, if this is actually helpful, it would better a young player's production and thus, lead to an increase in WAR of the young players around them.
Something Eric Hosmer has never done.
This is simply not true, the Yankees have a bunch of gems in their farm system. But no way in hell are they parting with guys like Contreras, Garcia or Whitlock to remove dead salary.
That's a fair take, it's just despite the excellent K/BB ratio, he tried to join the fly ball brigade last year without the increased power.
He still doesn't know what kind of hitter he is.
I figured the opener was meant to take the place for pitchers whom were expected to get slammed when they had already gone through the order a time or two, not above average or better starters.
Probably because they see us post about that place and we say it's a s*** hole.
But it's legitimately a shithole because they block any content from this site and RSP.
