It's at the point I was actually excited for Dansby to bat.

Dansby is so back!

There might be a future for this Dansby fellow.

For all of the complaints on Swanson, he's up to an 89 wRC+ and entered the game with a 1.7 fWAR on the year. 

He doesn't always do it the most pretty, but he has been a consistent value provider.

Dansby might be the streakest hitter in baseball lol. When he's hot he's very hot but when he is cold he is ice cold there is no in between with him.

I was just looking at this. He's still on pace for a 4fWAR year and tied with Busch for the second best position player on the Cubs. I guess defense is still important, eh?

Edit: I see he's also running a career-high walk rate.

He's the quintessential, "wait, how the heck did he end the year with such a high fWAR?" guy.

Problem with this season is he hasn't really had a good or hot streak til now 🤷

Hopefully going forward he'll be more consistent in hitting and avoid any prolonged long cold streaks

I've asked this before and don't remember what the answer was, but there HAS to be a metric that measures consistency or streakiness.  If not, there should be, something that measures whether a player's aggreggate performance over the course of the year was fairly evenly distributed or was it extremely inconsistent.  I suspect almost all players are streaky, but I'm really curious whether the players we see as very streaky would actually reflect that statistically moreso than others.

This is a stat that I would love to look at if it existed.

We’ve got a couple more weeks of MVP Dansby before he turns back into DFA Dansby for another 6 weeks.

If that metric doesn't already exist, it should be pretty easy to manufacture. Compare baseline performance to monthly splits or preferably some sort of rolling 10 game average. Calculate who has the largest standard deviations. Compare.

I'm not a math guy or a programmer, so I'd love to be told how wrong I am.

Also, what is streaky ?

 We see some guys just go off in pockets or have a good series or two every few weeks or month, is that considered streaky or just having a hot spell?

Same with guys we always hear starts out the season slow,  we're in June, when does starting the season slow just turn into not having a good season?

It’s nice to get a huge lead on a double header day.
