Fun early season stats (2017 edition)

[Post Count Padder]

These are always worth a laugh.

 

So far, the Royals have hit 10 HR. Of those, 7 are by just 2 players (Perez and Moustakas) and 9 (!) of the 10 have been solo homers. The only one that wasn't was a two-run homer by Hosmer.

 

Josh Donaldson is one of only 3 Blue Jays players with an OPS above .615. (the other two are Kendrys Morales and Darwin Barney, lol)

 

JT Realmuto currently leads the league in OPS.

10 homers, and they've scored the fewest runs in the league...21.

The Reds and Twins are first and second in the league in run differential, because that makes sense

Well the Reds have 6 relievers with a 0.00 ERA, and the pen hasn't given up a single HR yet (after giving up over 100 last year)

Yeah, well both teams still horsefeathering suck. The Reds won't leave next weekends series against us with a positive RD

Darwin Barney leads the Blue Jays in bWAR lol.

I just saw Travis Wood has a 18.56 ERA and 3.188 WHIP through 5.1 innings....

 

Yikes.

[Derwood]

Let's see how Byron "Better than Bryant" Buxton is doing.

 

Oh....oh my

Yikes.

He's already given up more runs than Wade Davis did in any season as a Royal.

[NonProfitCow]

Starlin Castro is hitting .357 .400 .571 .971

FTFY. They had a fun little starting experiment his first year there that did not go well.

[We Got The Whole 9]

On pace for another 200 hit season but he might finally have some power in the slash too. Hope he keeps it up. He's hitting the ball hard and to all fields, as he did when he was at his best here. Just let the man hack and he will find a lot of barrels.

Jared Saltalamacchia was DFA'd by Toronto after going 1 for 25 with 16k's

Schwarber is a -1.3 in LF this season

Trout is a -1.1 in CF

[UMFan83]

The White Sox have the 2nd best run differential in the AL.

[David]

Schwarber is a -1.3 in LF this season

Trout is a -1.1 in CF

 

Trout's actually been a mediocre to slightly below CF for a while now, but obviously the fact that he can be that while providing the offense he does makes him immensely valuable.

 

For his career he's at -0.2 UZR/150

[Ding Dong Johnson]

reading "while" as "white", like I did, totally changes the tone of that post

[Post Count Padder]

The Angels are in second place, despite:

 

- After Trout (2.2), the highest bWAR on the team is .8 (career backup catcher Martin Maldonado)

- Other than Trout, only two players have an OPS above .680 (Yunel Escobar and 21 at bats from Luis Valbuena)

- Injuries to the bullpen have left Bud Norris (yup) as the team's closer with Yusmeiro Petit and Blake Parker (yup, that Blake Parker) as the top setup men.

Miguel Sano currently carries a 1.7% soft contact rate. No other hitter in baseball is under 7%, and Miguel Cabrera is the only hitter to post a season under 7% this decade.
