Is .260 with 25 HR something we should really be happy with? That should probably be the expectation by now, yeah? I’d imagine .280 with 35 HR would be a welcome surprise, but .260 with 25 HR is kinda… meh. That was Hunter Pence in his second season, subtract the steals and add a few walks.
Considering he hit .281/25/70 last year, I can’t imagine that anyone who drafted him thinking he was a huge sleeper would be moderately pleased with .260/25/75.
Still has worst line drive rate in the entire majors. He’ll be lucky to hit .260. He’s probably more of a .240 hitter. A slightly older Travis Snider is what is his. Most overrated player in the majors.

You would be wise to remember: Churchill was crazy.

doesn’t really take away from the fact that the dude had an awesome amount of quotes.

Ain’t nothin wrong with .260/25/75 – for a waiver wire pickup.

The best case against sabermetrics, is to chat for 5 minutes with your average blogger.

With around 100 ABs under his belt, he’s on target to have about 180 strikouts with a .231 average.
